*Pete* Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) So this is now my third Starlet, The first one was a White SR which I put in a bush but still drove it for 3 months after it happened. (Build thread: http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/84287-petes-white-sr-build-mr2-throttle-body-dynoed/) Then I had my second one which was turquoise but was unfortunately hit head on after the other person hadn't given way on a round about (Build Thread:http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/92700-petes-second-starlet-in-turquoise/) So now this is the starlet I picked up yesterday. Paid abit more than I did than the other two but its worth it. Its so unbelievably clean to the point anything was there from factory as the radio is and the cig lighter is still looks to be brand new and the dash isn't broken unlike all the starlets I've had or worked on. The body work is really good as well still has a few age related marks but that is expected for a car this age but no dents at all. It has 85,000 on the clock which isn't as good as the the turquoise one which is at 66,000. So here is a few pictures of the new starlet. Also did a repair on one of my indicators that had broke in the usual place. I would rather do this repair this diy as you can't see when its on the car but it saves me money and means that a starlet part hasn't gone in the bin.

*Pete* Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 At the same time I had my strut brace sand blasted and now got it in primer but I thinking of doing it a dark blue so the engine bay will be body colour graphite grey and dark blue mainly, don't know if it will look good or not what do guys think go body colour or a dark blue Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonnygt Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Where abouts is the wire for the rear speakers mate? Need to dig it out so i can fit some lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westley Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Where abouts is the wire for the rear speakers mate? Need to dig it out so i can fit some lolUsually it's on the drivers side behind the rear quarter plastics (I believe) but not all of them have it, mine didn't so had to wire it all up myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*Pete* Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Usually it's on the drivers side behind the rear quarter plastics (I believe) but not all of them have it, mine didn't so had to wire it all up myselfShould be there Ive had 3 now with it in different models and different years. It is folded back on its self usally dont see why yours doesn't have it as the wiring looms should be same. Only difference is from 96-97 to 98-99 they changed how it came through the firewall Edited January 26, 2016 by *Pete* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
