Avalaugh Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Hey folks, picking up my first ever Starlet on Tuesday 1st July.I know nothing about them....Please please give me some advise.It's a 1984 2 door 1.0ltr. It's had a TRD body kit welded on, it's steel not fibreglass. Poor thing has been painted Matt black too, been stashed in the back of a hidden specialist body shop for years.Got talking with the owner and convinced him to let it go.It's complete and running, looks tidy enough from what I can see under years of body shop dust lolIt's not seen daylight for years but been dry stored.Main question is what's it worth ? We've got a gentlemans agreement in place, but I'm not sure if I should build it or move it on ? Quote
Jamie5414 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Welcome to UKSO Best to post up pictures when you get it. That would help with gauging price a lot. Quote

Calum122 Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 The interior is hidious! That body on the otherhand! Wow, I like that. Reminds me of Nigella Lawson: Oldish, Smokes, Drinks, Eats, Drugs -> Probably ruined inside BUT on the outside Yeah buddy! Nah that looks smart I like that. What are the plans? Quote

Avalaugh Posted July 4, 2014 Author Posted July 4, 2014 Guys I'm having a dilemma, should it stay or should it go now ?The car is epic but does need work, I'm getting married in December and the future Mrs is strongly suggesting I don't start another project. Quote
