Starlet-Joshy Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Some thing is better than nothing I suppose. So, decided to work on the starbo today as I want to start making a bit more progress. I started by removing the front bumper, due to having plans of turning the car black, ill make a start doing bits each week (weather dependent). I then decided to bend part of the slam panel back due to the previous damage from the fire engine. I also removed the O/s headlight due to me snapping a clip a few weeks back and glued it back together. Passes the MOT the other day however, need to sort headlight and get some brighter bulbs, as I have no range with lights. Also need to sort the backbox as it currently has a hole in and sounds a bit shitty, so ill look at getting a aftermarket back box soon! Clutch slave was fitted a few weeks ago, however hoping to bleed both brakes and clutch tomorrow as not 100% with either of them! The coolant bottle was annoying me with the dirt/grime that was stuck to it, so after trying, G3 and other shite i decided to use Cif and a bit of elbow grease and it seemed to work a treat! Then topped up with fluid! A few parts have been ordered however wont reveal until they arrive lol! My ebay is full of things to buy just need these weeks to go bye lol. Most of the body work will be rubbed back also in the mean time, mixed with college work i need doing, then deciding what kind of black paint to use! Where the chassis was bent up front i fitted two new bolts to hold it more secure! also need a black bracket that holds the n/a bumper to slam panel!! Here's some pics, and more updates tomorrow! How she currently sits! More to follow ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet-Joshy Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 More little bits to add (02/11/14) Okay so, as im not rushing the car, bumper is back on until i decide what paint to buy. im looking to get some Toyota black regardless just what kind? Thinking about a black glanza boot to try and replace the shitty paint! Inside and out! also the key hole is f**ked, Anyway went about fixing the headlight back in, turns out neighbors were confused why i had only one headlight and no front bumper lol. After that was fitted, i removed the wing to try and sort indicator out, that seems to have a broken clip so will also have to be replaced at one point! Hopefully start next week on bonnet ready for paint and may even buy some! Parts ive ordered include 2 Rays/Volk wheels, (I need to find another 2 for front) but got them for a bargain so can complain, also a shift extender, but looking to get a new gear knob soon!! Also finally got round to fitting my Super Pro anti roll bar D bushes. However while it was jacked up i test fitted one of my sisters 3 spokes which tbf i didn't think looked to bad! Sadly my current nuts have washers so only work with the Gt wheels, so Rays nuts will be ordered soon!! Well pleased with the Anti Roll bar bushes! such a great mod and cheap (Shouts to IdWorkz for supplying!) Here's some pics, Cheeky shot of the gt brake setup ;) A pic showing the new slave cylinder lol! (forgot to add it a few weeks ago) bumper back on, just rubbed back, and headlight isnt loose! Sister's 3 spokes (TSW) would look better if i was able to drop the car down! Before During After That's all for now!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
