BoostAddictt Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Hello all I would like to share my new winter project with yourselfs. I was searching the web and using the forums for a few weeks straight trying to find a cleanish Straight shell. Either a GT or a a glanza but wasn't having much look with finding a clean one. The cars which was popping up also was a good days drive from were I lived, I finally sourced a glanza shell down in Newquay and set about collecting it the following day, until i relcieved a notification over on the starlets for sale page on Facebook LOL! I clicked the post and there she was a rather clean ep82 GT rolling shell located in Manchester (Oldham) 30 minute drive from my house. The car was getting a lot of interest with it being rather cheap (£250) so I set out there and then. 30 minutes later & a little bit of haggling I managed to bag her for £160 and I was back on the starlet scene.Anyhow I got her home the other day and had a good luck around and surprisingly she's straight! Both chassis legs are bang on no nasty chassis damage what so ever. As for the exterior panels well they have seen better days both doors looked rather aged (car park dings) usual marks etc. The front bumper was hanging on by a few rusty old bolts & the bonnet had a slight damage to the corner. All of which didn't phase me to much. As for the good bits she's a complete rolling shell. She is sitting pretty on tein lowering springs still has brakes all around, complete wiring loom dash bored etc all still there it even comes with a optional extra ignition light barrel & the guy even thrown in a front mount with pipe work! Can't really moan for £160.So my future plans are... You will have to wait & see ;-) How she was sat when I viewed her (sat for ages like this I was told) So after I got her home I set about giving her a little bath. Fair to say she come up a treat after a good jet wash! More pics to follow shortly work begins on the weekend!! :-D Quote

BoostAddictt Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 Thanks dude. More pics to follow shortly Quote
fiddlersport Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 i seen this car on the road but cannot remember... nice to see a ep restored then in the breaker section, good luck with the build ! Quote
BoostAddictt Posted November 27, 2014 Author Posted November 27, 2014 Right guys & girls.. After a good hard think I have come to the conclusion I am going to give the little starlet a full fresh respray. Which will include the whole inside, engine bay, door shuts, outside being compleatly stripped & eventually repainted. Works going to be on hold for a little while as my hands are pretty tied up with my other project. But I do have some good news. I have just bagged myself a Wepr td04 kit, tial wastegate. Braided oil feed, turbo is mint no shaft play pictures to come soon. Quote
Bluebear Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Paint didn't look too bad in the pics. Going for 205 Black again or something different? Quote
BoostAddictt Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 Undecided on colour at the minute matey. I also picked these doors up in very good condition. Costing as little as £40 for the pair 👌 cant moan at that :-D Quote
BoostAddictt Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 Well it's saddens me to tell you guys the ep82 as sold to a good friend! Could admin delete this thread please. Quote
Bluebear Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 But you have something else now, don't you? ;) Quote
BoostAddictt Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 I certainly do bluebear lol.. I'll be putting a build thread up soon just waiting to collect it Quote
