Puddy's Starlet


Recommended Posts

Hello from Ireland 8)


I have had a crashed glanza for about 4 years (written off) and was waiting to get a starlet to do a Glanza rep.glanza%2011_zpst8x0b3qs.jpg

and last week I finally picked up this beauty \/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Yeah the bumpers are a different color :p but its all good its solid underneath :thumbsup: and the interior is fairly mint.

Also picked up some bubble lights before I even got a Starlet so had to put them in :D



So anyway the plan is to keep it the purple/blue color, get the Glanza kit on, take lowering springs out of the Glanza and get them in, take bump strips off, underseal it and put Glanza interior in :thumbsup: (I cant unfortunatly put the engine out of the Glanza in yet as I am only 17 :cray:)

So today I had a fairly productive day.

Jacked the car up,pulled the bumper off, pulled bump strips off, gave it a bit of an under seal and trial fitted the back bumper which I thought I might have trouble


with

So I'm not sure if I'll have to get another or see if that one will do :wacko:

So then I let the car down, took the front off and put the Glanza front on :D

Another small update I got no radio with the car so had a small bit of trouble getting connectors for this but luckily my dad owns a scrap yard so I got one out of a Levin. :clapping:

So threw in a cheap Aldi radio and my cupholders from the Glanza.

So put on the bootlid today (yeah thats it closed :wacko:)

So I have an issue because I think its bent out of shape because the Glanza was crashed.

I also have a dent that I never really noticed before :rolleyes: But I think I'll be able to manage it. The wiring looks like a bit of a dick as well but will hopefully be easy enough to do

I will also hopefully be getting another back bumper tommorow (white) as the one I have is well....broken

Had to deal with some family stuff recently so haven't given an update in a veeerrryyy long time.


Got my back bumper sorted anyway

Also picked up an STI exhaust but I think its a bit big :p

I thought it was cool tho :rofl:


Picked up a boss (and kinda ricey wheel) last year in Beaulieu for 10 pound!!! when I was over.there

The steering wheel will eventually be changed don't worry.


Got these off Ebay as well. Thought they looked cool.

I have ordered an armrest from England which I should get next week and a Starlet Hyper Rev from Japan which should be here in 2 weeks I hope :D:D


So the plan is to get her sprayed over the summer all going well but short term the doors, wings, shocks and interior from the Glanza need to go in first.

So I fitted a Corolla intake yesterday and gave the rocker cover a quick clean. All I need now is a pod filter :)

Also bought a set of Fox Alloys 15s. Which look way better than I expected :yahoo:12007217_899317293520873_1337446302_n_zp12674227_899692816816654_1951812696_n_zp



They were €150 and they were freshly powdercoated so I couldn't really leave them behind me. My other Enkei alloys will be put away. :sad:12834889_899692926816643_44289086_n_zpsl12067141_899692953483307_2087680710_n_zp



I half fitted the back bumper as well \/ \/ \/ \/

BIG update :D:D


So I probably should have taken more photos but I didn't have much time to get stuff done. Firstly I had to strip the Glanza so that meant Doors, Wings, Shocks with lowering springs, Back box, Side skirts, Air filter, TRD Plug Leads and a few small bit. 12980495_918409668278302_1772982781_n_zp13023338_918409648278304_1183017472_n_zp


Sorry for the awful pictures, the shed was really dark and I only had the phone..12674483_901399716645964_1782229498_n_zp This was what was under the side skirt when I was taking them off :shok:12067119_901399749979294_1725102341_n_zp12992274_918409624944973_1217728038_n_zp




Then it was the Starlets turn :D TRD leads in, Blitz Filter on. Engine bay is getting there.




13009889_918409594944976_351255199_o_zps




So then I took doors off, wings off, drilled two holes drilled through the pillars for the wiring for the electric windows



12007229_901399606645975_582911480_n_zps12988005_918409504944985_1751682094_n_zp12674564_901399586645977_1677393216_n_zp



So electric windows work after fitting module behind the clocks 8) (thanks to a guide on this) Lowering springs in, Wings on and wheels back on. Its slowly getting there but it will eventually. 11101901_901399546645981_15590925_n_zps9

Really??? That sucks about the nct! I used glanza wings on my uk spec here in the uk and it was fine because the indicators in the headlight stick out further and count as side repeaters! Could that not work in ireland? :)

James

Thanks Lad

your car will have an isseu with nct now as there are no side repeaters on her kid as its mandatory on eu cars ere in the republic

​maybe they wont spot it :) keep up the good work

Yeah I thought about that but it looks wayyyyy better without them in my opinion.
