Si@Fiske Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hey all,Went on a little road trip the other night to sudbury to pick up a cheeky ep91 n/a... auto... WIN..lol. will be my 6th starlet now so time to get the ball rolling again! Obviously she needs alot of work to be done, but its a straight shell which is all i was after and due to the auto box sounding like 1,000 ball bearings in a tumble dryer, i picked it up for a cheeky 200 nicker so far so good!i was abit dissapointed to find it had a sunroof when i turned up so a new roof skin will need putting on, manual conversion and full track turbo build and a paint job is the route im going to take.me and a good friend will fabricate the roll cage on cad and get it all made up and welded in, the coilovers, brakes and then look at the drivetrain. First things first it needs stripping out.... which is what we did today in half a day! win.this one is to keep now, lost interested in the gt after some n00b woman crashed into it but now im back on it and this should be good cheers guys.si Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Why didn't you just weld a plate in the roof where the subroof originally was? I'd much rather do that than chop the roof off..Good luck with it all, I'll definitely be touch about the parts you requested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAG Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 i think ive made a convertableYES!Cage it, canvas over the top, job done x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Now that you've chopped off the roof, you seriously need to do something wild - Starlet Pickup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 @Idrees when making a proper weld in cage, the roof skin always gets taken off..otherwise you'll build the cage right upto the roof, and then wont be able to weld the top.. so you weld through the roof..it's not massively complex taking it off anyways..not cutting..just gotta drill out loads of spot welds when you've found em Quote Link to post Share on other sites
