Dale SR Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Looks like a good project. I have a starlet life that came from Australia, it's my dad's car now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddox710 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Aussies always make awesome starlets Can't imagine it with 17" wheels on though must look like a monster truck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Looks awesome mate cant wait too see the wnd result! 17s on a starlet will be very interesting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOG33K Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Aussies always make awesome starletsCan't imagine it with 17" wheels on though must look like a monster truck We do know how to build a car here The 17's look pretty good on it actually, I definitely wouldn't go any bigger though. I scored a full set of wheels for $100, only needed the one to replace the stuffed one but couldn't go wrong for that money. Just have to paint them though, he painted them purple with a brush...

SOG33K Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Got both of the starlets to my house yesterday from my dads after doing two four and a half hour round trips. Washed them both and got the turbo one in the garage. After looking at the damage a bit more it may not be worth fixing and I might completely strip it and build the blue one up. The blue one only has a damaged guard and door which I can swap out from the silver one. The blue one has done less kilometres and wouldn't need much at all to get it on the road but would definitely change the colour and give it a full respray. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMfreak Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 looks like it will be a great project basically gonna re shell the silver one into the blue one are you going to get a disc brake back axel for it or leave the drums out back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOG33K Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 looks like it will be a great project basically gonna re shell the silver one into the blue one are you going to get a disc brake back axel for it or leave the drums out back Yeah will basically be a reshell of the silver one with a few extras and then more mods once it's on the road. The silver one already has disk brakes on the rear so a huge bonus there, also has aftermarket stabilizer bars and whiteline strut bars in the front and rear. Heres a pic of the damage done to the silver one and the blue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOG33K Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I started stripping the silver one yesterday and putting all the goodies on the blue one, stripped all the damaged bits off the blue one and gave the interior a quick clean. I think someone had spilt a pack of cereal and jelly beans in there at some stage. These are the seats in the silver one, they should come up nice with a clean. Pushed this dent out Its a little better but it's going to take some work to get it straight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I like the seats:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOG33K Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Here's how it looks now all together. Once the panel damage is repaired i'll paint it, just need to think of a colour. Thinking possibly this colour from the Nissan Qashqai. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Looking forward too seeing it mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Same this could be interesting. Good work so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOG33K Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys! Thinking I should get some 15 inch wheels so I can run semi slicks for some more fun . The 17's scrub on full lock with the standard suspension so I don't think they will be any good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Good shout mate 15s will be loads better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOG33K Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 I have done a little bit of work to the starlet lately. Pretty much all stripped out and started to repair some of the dents. Just have to strip the engine bay now and then it won't be long for some paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMfreak Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 some difference from before looking forward to seeing more updates on this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOG33K Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Can't wait to get it done so trying to spend as much time as possible on it. I've sourced a Paseo tacho dash and power mirrors that will hopefully fit, if not i'll make them haha. Also found a Glanza rear bar and side skirts, just waiting on some more cash so I can pick them up. I bought myself a new mig welder the other day, going to weld up the indicators and aerial holes. Going to put the indicators in the mirrors, have purchased some clear lenses from a golf so hopefully they will go in with a little modification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I know the feeling mate be well worth it when its done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOG33K Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 My Paseo dash and mirrors turned up, looks like the mirrors will be a massive pain to fit and to get the indicator looking neat. Ill see how I go I might get some mirrors off something else and mod them to fit. Progress has slowed down a little at the moment as I'm moving in a few weeks, can't wait to get back at it though and get some new pics up of the progress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOG33K Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Ordered a new set of wheels for it today, the wheel shop had a 25% off sale so got them at a decent price. Got a set of Avid AV08's 15x6.5 +35 and also ordered a set of Federal RSR 595 Semi Slicks. Finally picked up the rest of the body kit Still a little while away from paint yet, it's in storage at my old man's house which is 2 hours away. Hopefully Ill be moving closer in the next 2 weeks so I can get stuck into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMfreak Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 like the updates looking forward to see it all together and some paint on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpikeyJp_68 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Should be good when finished mate 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Wheels are a massive improvement dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOG33K Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Picked up my new wheels on the weekend, they look pretty smick! Only issue is that they need 5mm spacers on the front to clear the rotors and they forgot to send out a set of blue nuts What do you guys think? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
