Went up to Kent last weekend and picked up a 1987 ep70 off epsteve on here. It's sporting the power house 1e 12v engine. Picked it up with about 71500 miles on it. Clocked over the 72k on the way back from jf2 today. I've I've only got the one picture at the moment

I've done 600 miles in this car so far. It's so funny to drive. Need to start stripping the paseo down and swapping the shocks and springs over. Fit my GT front anti roll bar. Rebuild the 5e and sling a turbo on it. Been wanting another starlet for a daily for a long time now. Will get a load more pics tonight. Seriously slacking on. The pictures with this one

It has a few scuffs on the wings that need sorting. Suspect it's from when some oap's had it at some point

Mine has rusted in exactly the same place, although mine is worse than yours, but its nothing to difficult to repair. I have just finished putting my new gearbox back together, so looking to get it fitted this weekend with any luck <img data-cke-saved-src="http://www.ukstarletowners.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png" src="http://www.ukstarletowners.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png" class="bbc_emoticon" title=":)" />

Little update, changed the old steels out for some racing sparco crimsons. It's so much better to drive now! Need to make some drop link up of the GT anti roll bar that I put on and swap the suspension off the paseo

Proper happy with the wheels more so the rubber. It's actually fun going round corners now!

Had a delivery at work today! Got it fitted as soon as I got home! ep71 S dials I think they are. Swapped a couple of wires round and every thing works a treat. Just need to put a new clock in some were, change an illumination bulb I missed and fit the speedo converter I&#39;ve had sitting round waiting to be used

Going to start ripping the paseo apart at the weekend. Get the suspension swaped over. Possible make a start on the custom loom for the 5e to go in. Can't wait to make this go faster now it goes round a corner.
