kidV Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 well, been here a while now, mostly looking around with the odd comment here and there. now finally i have a starlet... thanks mainly to socks!! picked up a little sportif in red, 93k and standard as you like... for £150. after getting it back we set about abusing it with the trusty spanners and sockets.as you can probably tell it won't be staying as it is due too the work we've already done. so, here's a few pictures so far. updates will hopefully be pretty regular too so here goes...four on arrival...Dismantle...seats be gone..De-wiring.GET OUT YOU N/A SCUM!!! Spot of detailing by mr socks on the faded paintwork...half n half..my fave so far...SHIT, it's pedo-puss! So, for now there we have it. now just waiting on parts to come up, funds to grow and shorty to get his ass into gear and remove his turbo loom.. ;)i'll keep you all posted. Oh, and one last thing, steve, keep it hush around G town.. It's a need to know basis and tbh, non of them lot need to know! ;)TA!kidV Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 looks awesome! and £150?! bet you felt like you robbed the poor sod lolyou keeping it sleeper? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidV Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 It's not perfect and was slightly pink but for it's age and price, cannot complain at all!Paintworks coming up beautifully thanks to socks' detailing.Was a super bargain tbf.Plan was originally to be sleeper styled but a few bits needed decisions making so pretty set on it being 'Glanza'd' now... Always had a massive soft spot for red glanza's so it'd be rude not too pursue my dream now I have the opportunity! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 ill update this on behalf of mark... pulled the shell out into daylight yesterday afternoon for first time in a while to give it a thorough clean!u can tell the rear quarter has been detailed and nothing else lol!started to de-grease and clean the bay!out with the pressure!the car came with no power steering, we managed to find a PAS conversion kit. including rack, bottle, lines, pump & steering column.. however the dash support bar is different...so we removed that...ontop of that we hoovered all the shite out of the shell. alot of dust build up and general poo! so we cleaned all that up so she is proper clean now and our lovely friend shorty is going to send us his glanza one! ;)so... the bay dried out and looks loads better:we are collecting a glanza rear bumper in red tonite and then waiting on shorty's package to start to put interior back in with the all new V wiring loom im sure Mark will keep u posted about that ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 ill update this again with a small update, as Mark is once again on a shift at work! We spotted and won a Glanza Rear Bumper, already freshley sprayed, in the exact color we needed! Bargain at 80quid! So i collected that yesterday daytime...looks loads better:then we got down to some protection! The shell is in such good condition underneath that it'd be a shame to let it go to waste! so out with this good stuff:relaxing job actually under the back, was not even rusty! but we'd rather keep it that way!We managed to get the whole under/back done up to the fuel tank... rear beam, panhard, rear legs, spare wheel well etc.but we ran out of light and energy so packed up, got home and bidded on this item and won!Bargain! More To Come Peeps! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
