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 momentDone some bit to it like change the clutch, fit GT seats sort blowing exhaust. Mot and tax it.

turbo Grant Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Got a couple more snaps of the carIt has a few scuffs on the wings that need sorting. Suspect it's from when some oap's had it at some pointAn now for the worst bit of rust on the car!!!!Really bad for a 26 year old carAlso fitted some GT seats and centre bit on Saturday Need to make a couple of brackets up for the centre bit as its held in by gravity right now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 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=":)" /> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Little update, changed the old steels out for some racing sparco crimsons. It's so much better to drive now!

turbo Grant Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 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've had sitting round waiting to be used Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Better pic of the dashGoing 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
