neilsmith Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Alright. Im new to this site and thought i would post a thread of my ep91 build.I bought a starlet sportif in juanuary this year, picked it up for £150 happy happy, i dont the brakes and put glanza wheels on it, brakes cost £100 front and back so thats not so bad, only cost £80 to get through an M.O.T So far sitting at £330, then 60 odd quid for tax, got it on the road for under £400 Im not sure how to post pictures, can someone please help me and il get some pictures up.Cheers.

neilsmith Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Cheers. No it was streight forward to do, also had to change the dash and all the dash wiring etc but it only took me and my mate 7 hours to do the whole thing, thats taking the standard engine out, dash, exhaust, radiator etc. Very easy conversion to do and well worth it.
