fattony Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 hi well I've been on here for a little while so I thought I'd better start a build thread!The Frog (its how the cars been known for years) was purchased from my neighbour last year, I'm the fourth owner and I can honestly say, its had a damn hard life!!! lolwell the body has anyway!service ways this car has been cherished, being serviced roughly every 3,500 miles, 9 times by toyota, 10 times by independants and the rest of the time by me! engine and running gear is sweet as a nut, every nut and bolt that can be got to has been removed and slipped on a regular basis so they can all come out nice and easy! (excluding the engine based parts!) the body work however is frankly a load of pap!!every panel has door dings, rust on both the rear arches and dents on both, both the front arches are heavily dented, bonnet has multiple dents and the majority of the paint work has fallen off on the near side rear quarter and boot lid! the roof is scratched to hell and the car as a whole is looking very tired, but that is on its way to changing!since purchasing the car I've brought the following:Speedline Alesio 14" wheels and tyres (not seen them on a starlet before!)Pi 40 mm lowering springsfront strut bracedimpled and grooved front discs12" sub and amp (sunk into the spare wheel well on a false floor)new front speakers (which are shite!) lollarge rally style driving lamps (recessed them into the front bumpersquare front platebut the car obviously still looks like a giant took a dump on it!!I've finally decided on a new colour for the body and wheels, ordered the paint, and purchased all the body work prep bits i need, purchased some replacement front wings, brought a set of celica gt4 seats and got some tubing for a DIY rear strut brace, decided not to colour code the side bump strips (one randomly fell off over night! lol) so will be removing them! I will upload some photos this evening to show the crapness of her, this car is my daily runner and so doing anything to her even at weekends can sometimes prove problematic due to needing the car, also I'm married......... this also affects the time I can spend playing with my car!! lolin a months time, this car should be a nice looking motor again, only problem i currently have is i havent got anywhere to paint it, which could prove a problem!!humhar!!anyways, thats it for now! mods, if the project title is a bit much please feel free to change it to a more appropriate heading!

fattony Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 the car needs a full respray, every panel is heavily damaged, so why stay standard??!!each to their own I always say! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy SR Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Would look sick as a stripped out n/a with a rollcage, keep it ep2 green, and get them shithot speedlines refurbed gold. Dump in a 5efe, some tein loweing springs and you got a nice sleeper on the cheap! Just my opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
