John GT Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Its about time I set up a project thread on this. I bought the car back before christmas with the headgasket fairly much gone, so into the shed it went. It spent longer than wanted in there but with head back on and the timing belt done she was alive again.Also fitted rear brake shoes and new cylinders as they were leaking. I booked the NCT then and she flew through it Got a set of alleycats then as I was sick of the steel wheels on it. Also thanks to A-Z tuning on here for the pressed platesThe previous owner didnt take care of the car well the paint was very flat and seemed thin enough.I didnt trust myself to give it a good compound and polish so got Micks Carvaleting in Carbury to do the job. Very happy with his work and would recommend him to anyone.Il update this with better pics later but for now these will doEnlarge this image Click to see fullsizeEnlarge this image Click to see fullsizeEnlarge this image Click to see fullsizeEnlarge this image Click to see fullsizeEnlarge this image Click to see fullsizeEnlarge this image Click to see fullsizeEnlarge this image Click to see fullsizeEnlarge this image Click to see fullsizeEnlarge this image Click to see fullsize Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John GT Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Very nice... Is the under seat tray for EP71 or adapted from ep82/91? Im not sure the previous owner had it in his english imported starlet so I think it was an ep70 extra.
