Idrees Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hi guysI thought I'd share another Starlet with you all. It's a Black 98 SR that has suffered head gasket failure. I bought it in May 2011 looking like this:However I ended up selling it to another member as he was really looking for a project. A year later he asked if I wanted to buy it back, and I thought why not?It looked a bit different this time. It had a full Glanza kit fitted with a white bonnet, but no Glanza headlights. So the front end went back to the original look, and the original tailgate was refitted. The only Glanza bits left are the rear bumper and sideskirts. Andy (who I bought it back off) decided to rip out all the interior too, so I have a Glanza interior waiting to be fitted.Plans:Fit a new engine (managed to source one with 33k miles)TTE style front splitterLowering springs (only has the original TTE rear springs)Clear indicator lensesGlanza NS rear light (no reverse light)Full Glanza interiorA decent set of wheels (currently on steels)I'll keep this thread updated with pictures.

Idrees Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Still not touched this since fitting a set of lowering springs about a week after my last post above. The old engines out but it doesn't look like the new one will be fitted on this side of the decade.. There's not enough hours in a day *sigh* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
