Starlet-Joshy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) Hey Guys whats up! So, after months and months of moaning, and changing my mind. I ended up with the conclusion of keeping the starlet for the moment! I have changed my mind like the wind, but decided to keep it for now, and actually finish something for once. This little project shall now receive updates more frequent and actually start to look a little half decent from what it first started out like. So top photo is what the car currently looks like! Budget ballin! So taking things from the top, bought the car on like 57k ish or something, now over 60k and actually gonna do a service on this car now. Mods have been and gone, but nothing working cant help me fund for more! Found loads of stuff i would like to order when i get money so lets see where this goes! Car has been mistreated by most people now i better try and save it! Its had like over 8 owners i think, and its about time it got some loving!, Re-cap Car was faded when purchased, got it for £500 of some hot blonde bird, not to far from me in Bristol. After driving it home i was pleased with it. You could hear the apexi air filter roar, and suck up the air. It benefited from the corolla manifold which was on there! Pulls well for a n/a and quicker than my blue one! A few days after purchase i tried to polish it back, nope, not a chance! Probably going to end up respraying it like my boot! As this could take a bit and i cba to type it all up! Just gonna fast forward to parts lolz, More updates coming each weekends, when i have money and time to work on cars. Also decided only going to upload decent quality photo's!

Starlet-Joshy Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hey guys! Decided to throw in a little throw back before i continue my college work! Okay so here's a pic after i bought it, day after in fact, as i bought it on the night. Came with Glanza Spoiler, Glanza Rear Bumper! Spoiler is now long gone as i was gonna strip the car a while ago for bits, but decided not to. It also had a giant rev counter, which within the last few months has been taken out, due to it annoying me lol. However need to order some Greddy Gauges!, all oil temp, air, etc etc, and maybe boost for when i get a turbo ;) haha, anyway, gauges wont be for a few months, in which ill run a oil sandwhich plate, and replace oil filter for a HKS one. Oil change is going ahead saturday, only with a oem one for now, to tide me for a few months! It had been recently done when i bought the car, but i have done a good 6k miles now. Next little service shall involve all belts being done, all fluids flushed and changed as well. Ill upload a pic of some parts i have to fit, such as my Stuke Canards! This being when i get my glanza front end! More updates weekend! Peace Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starlet-Joshy Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 So Guys + Gals, Been busy recently with college work so not much to update! Hopefully have some time on the weekend to finally do my oil change and paint that faded side! Got loads of bits i want to buy such as, roll cage, seats, wheels, the list goes on! Till then its little bits here and there!! Going to start focus on getting the Chassis sorted, making sure all bolts are good, no issues, rear suspension springs need turning up other way as from previous owner they are upside down. N/s and maybe O/s Cv joints need replacing due to a knocking noise! Hoping to paint the rear drums black and the front calipers red, as the gold is flaking away. Rear bumper needs sanding back, repairing and painting, however i am debating buying a n/a bumper and creating a custom diffuser for underneath! Few bits have been ordered and a few more to order this weeked! I shall have a update this weekend with a few things been done on the car, so should be alright! That's all for now, Just a cheeky little update! Josh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
