crawleysam Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 So after selling my GT turbo to socks about a month back I decided to get a beamer to do a bit of drifting, safe to say a BM is not my type of car and so resorted back to the trusty starlets after missing mine like hell. I've been acquiring parts for a car I did not have for about 2 weeks now, but I can say now that I have a reason for the spending. Introducing my £225 tropicana wonder 'Jennifer' Considering two routes to take this down, I'm sure i'll decide soon enough... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoryWebb432 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Awesome. What parts have you aquire for it? Hope thone side strips are coming off ha.Bargain too I'm on the look out for a donor around that price Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crawleysam Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 So far glanza reg surround, major service parts, new fluids, strut braces, clocks, few other bits and bobs and more will come. They'll be coming off next week when I start on the body work as NSR arch has some bubbling and there's rust on boot just under the glass. Not too bothered about colour as it'll be changed sometime, just dont like rust! It was a right bargain and has a decent amount of MOT, not massively high mileage and been owned by a lass for last 4years! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RoryWebb432 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Sounds good. I'm picking up my sr project car that's been sat in a field for 2 years so I need to invest in some major service parts too. One of my rear arches is dented also so will need to address that.I quite like this colour. I wonder how it would look glanza repped? Starlets are a bargain I think. Well, compared to my corolla t sport they are. Edited December 16, 2014 by RoryWebb432 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crawleysam Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Although they do look pretty mint rep'd, im probably not going down that route. Looking to go for something not often done, in what ive seen anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crawleysam Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 So after not much action over Christmas due to the weather, its been getting better so I've managed to get some bits done. First of all I fitted all the service parts I had, new oil and fuel filters, dizzy cap and arm, spark plugs and oil and coolant I will be replacing the HT leads with magnekor ones however they are yet to arrive. Recently I took it for an MOT which it failed due to binding OSR brake which I knew about and is caused by a corroded brake cable, that will need doing before It ends on the 14th and also the exhaust has a 'severe' blow which im told is a hole near the CAT. Today I have fitted the GT turbo seats which are actually out of my old GT which is a good thing and thanks to Socks for sortingthem out for me. I've still got some parts to fit and bits to do, Rolla maniGlanza rear Reg surroundSR clocksClear indicators and side repeatersJap spec stalks (if they fit)Fit front and rear strut bracesTend to rust on NSR arch and little bits aroundClean the bayETC ETC I have aswell fitted a few little things, new stereo and CupholdersThe cupholders are £10 ones off of ebay and are universal but fit very well in the car and also comes with a little flocked tray. Sort oflike the Toyota multibox and fits in the space where the blank is in these cars. Cant complain for £10 and they dont look half bad either. Also fitted my flare and emergency hammer, some stickers and anothertow hook. D1 spec gear knob aswell. Some pictures aswell Not much body wise but need a bit better weather for that. Apologies for the rally spec paint job aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
