Great updates mate!

Small update,

Picked up this a little while ago now, still need to find a clutch alignment tool so i can get it done.

Might just need a socket or something

Also got a good seat of seats, no idea how im going to mount them yet but its ment to be a pain. Need to start seriously thinking about it.

More to come soon i hope.

Just a small update,

Decided to tiger seal the the engine mounts. Dont want vibrations just a little support should be enough

If anyone who wants to do this, you can only do half the mounts then do the other side

Did you use zip ties for the bumper???? O.o

[FMuscle]

Also curious about how you did the bumper as I want to do mine soon...

[5e colin]

nice little project this

Also curious about how you did the bumper as I want to do mine soon...

I used stainless steel fence cable snd stripped the plastic off. If i was to do it again i would plasti weld it together like another member *pete*.

Making the cut of the bumpers is the hardest bit. i tried the used smallest part of the uk spec bumper.

Progress is slowed down again but will start again soon.

Thanks guys/girls

Its been a little while but updates will become more regular now.

The wishbones were in need of some tlc as well as the drop links. Gave them some paint. They are already polybushed.

Before

After

Also done the anti-roll bar

Decided to rebuild suspension with bump stops and waxoiled them for protection. Done the rear black as well to match.

Before

New bump stops with paint

Top mount plates

Completed

Also done my new calipers

Thats all for now, hopefully will start putting it all back together soon.

Nice weather again today so caught up on a few bits and bobs

Modified the catch can so i can see when its full and put the AN10 fittings on. Pretty tight fit

I also had to modify my rear axle bushes. I cut the steel cups that hold the bush. when i first put them in I thought this right because they didnt fit otherwise. So decided to do it properly.

Some polybush grinding

Then put them in a 55mm outer diameter mild steel pipe. Needs to be about 37mm wide.

I will be welding it later to the beam legs.

Thats all for today, hopefully more regular updates

Little update since the weather was good. Cleaned and painted the LSD gearbox. Didnt want to do this but previous owner painted it black and i couldnt be bothered stripping all the paint off which would have been hard work.

Come out ok.

Hopefully more to come soon. Gotta get this thing on and start putting the car back together

Got too many projects going on at the moment, hoping to continue working on the starlet soon.

Can't believe it's been a year already

[DRiiFTiE]

Nice lil project

[JackStar]

Have you still got this?

[5T4R7ET N/A]

Still got it mate, the project continues

Picked up this steering wheel

Reminds me of the orginal mclaren F1 road car steering wheel, my favourite car. Its not exactly the same but i really like it

Cool, this was my car a long time ago, I did the turbo conversion. I like the look of it with the new bumper.

[5T4R7ET N/A]

Thanks, I remember you had it a while and sold it to someother guy and i bought it off him. I thinks that's right

It was a good quality conversion, the wiring is all good.

Im pretty sure i have changed everything accept the engine, wiring and the dash. everything else has changed for one reason or another.

Hopefully many more updates to come. Got a lot to do

[Myth]

This looks like a mint build! im so jealous

[5T4R7ET N/A]

I will have to edit this whole thread because of this stupid photobucket thing.

But i will take some time out and do it soon.

Thread updated! All pictures are back, not best quality but it will do.

Just a bit random. Anyone know who can weld aluminium? Need to get my rocker cover and intercooler done.

I will go Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, north london

Completed the rear suspension today. Put the panhard rod back on with everything else.

Dont know how much you can see in the pictures everything is black. I used stainless steel nylon locking nut on the top mounts

Still using old alloys for the moment

Need to get the front on now.

Love this mate! How did you do your bumper?

[5T4R7ET N/A]

Love this mate! How did you do your bumper?

There are a couple of ways you can do it. My way is probably longer.

You can see where i made the cut in the pictures, i used as little of the uk spec bumper as possible

Then i made some holes using a drill 3mm should be big enough. Use a dremel to make a groove so the holes link up.

Then i got some gardening fence cable. Its stainless steel, strip the plastic off and tie the two bumper pieces together. Push the cable down into the groove you created with the dremel earlier

Then to add strength i fibre glassed the back of the bumper joint and filled the places put the ties.

The shorter and better route would be to get a plastic welder and join together using that.

Even though i have not done this im pretty sure it would be easier
