jonnygt Posted September 20, 2015 Author Posted September 20, 2015 Well sidestrips are off and its all cleaned and polished where they have been. Looks so much better and no paint fade and no paint came off. Result! My dad found some oem ep80 matts in his shed too and they fit perfect. Say starlet on them too. Bonus as i never had any in...will get pics of them tomorrow Quote
jonnygt Posted September 20, 2015 Author Posted September 20, 2015 Also fitted new set of wheel nuts too as the other ones were totally rusty! Worst nuts ive seen tbh. Had new set lying around from a previous starlet so may aswell use them.Just bought a glanza standard strut brace too hopefully itll come quick so i can get that fitted too after its had a lick of paintHopefully buying 40mm lowering springs this week too Quote
jonnygt Posted September 21, 2015 Author Posted September 21, 2015 Heres a pic of my free matts. Love them! Quote
jonnygt Posted September 24, 2015 Author Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Oh nooooBit of bad news...exhaust has started blowing already 🙈 its getting looked at on saturday and hopefully sorted out. On the plus side, just ordered myself a set of 40mm Direnza lowering springs as they were on sale cheap for £70 brand new and have a 5 year warrenty. So cant be all bad! Cant wait to get them fitted and then get the tracking done as its sligtly out. With luck, my strut brace might turn up too tomorrow so i can get that sanded, painted up and fitted! Then I'll be saving for alloys 👌 Edited September 24, 2015 by jonnygt Quote

Gunna order a set of alloys this week too hopefully 😉Also been busy over the weekend with it. New backbox and centre section fitted, calipers abd rear drums freshened up and all the underneath and inner arches undersealed. Had to do under the rear quite a bit as it had quite a bit surface rust But all is good looks much neater and clean and will protect it Had my little helper there too lol Quote
