Avalaugh Posted June 29, 2014 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
