New sr

[Pinkygti]

Well after restoring my old sr to her former glory and having it how I wanted it to look she was written off by a motorbike

After this I was unsure what to get next, luckily another sr popped up, unfortunately the previous owner worked at a tesco so it was left in the car park and got beaten up every day, being the one colour I hate, black, it looked like it had been shot by a few shotguns.

A friend whom is a panel beater offered to help make her look pretty again so it began 😎

Will try and update with pictures when I can, always usually forget until it's too late 😁

Got too many vehicles at the mo so will be having a clear out when this comes back home 🙁

Cheers guys, I really miss the white one but shit happens, I'll see what other pics I have of it

Burty what sort of stereo was it, I have quite a few kicking around.

Filler your a brave man, don't get me wrong when black cars are clean they look epic but they show up every bit of dirt and even the smallest dent looks like a mile deep crator 😁😁

[Pinkygti]

Here's a couple more

[burty]

Original Sony was terrible ive got a replacement sorted fitted it today old age car with new age technology now😂 still Sony though , when I bought the sr I wanted black ,white or silver in that order but now having silver hides a lot of age related marks

[Pinkygti]

Glad it's sorted, yes silver is by far the easiest to keep clean, it hides so much compared to the rest 👍🏻

[Pinkygti]

Heres the result 🙁 Main thing was everyone was ok and no fatalities

Here's the other members of the family

This looks like a great project mate cant wait too see the end result! Glad too see another starlet getting some bodywork tlc

[Pikey009]

Gutted for you with the white one mate but the new one looks like it's getting some awesome tlc. I had a white one for my first car and now have black. 'Williams waterless wash and wax' works a treat on mine

[Pinkygti]

Cheers guys, yea I tend to revive cars that people don't seem bothered about, onwards and upwards tho, postman came today and gave me my new nuts 👍🏻 and I finished painting and refurbing the glanza calipers and sliders

[Pikey009]

Flynn's 4age sr is up for sale maybe you could revive that lol? I'm tempted

[Pinkygti]

I'll look into that as he's local to me over on the iow 😊

[Pikey009]

It def needs saving doesn't it

[Pinkygti]

New updates today, rear end and nearside rear quarter pretty much done, just needs flatting back,

These are the wheels I have, it looks like someone as hand painted these and has paint runs everywhere 😬😬

Had them all shot blasted and a fresh coat of white, just the pearl coat to go, these bastards look amazing in the sun already 😎

[Pinkygti]

Corolla manifold fitted and had a few hoses in the garage so put some new ones to replace the old ones, quick coat of wheel silver on the manifold once de-greased and prepped, new gasket fitted and she's on, treated the rocker cover quick too 👍🏻👍🏻

[Pikey009]

Looking good mate mines the opposite to yours- my heat shield is like new but I need to paint my Corolla mani and rocker. Have you noticed any difference in performance with the mani?

[Pinkygti]

My heat shield is all painted but it's in my garage at home, I'll bolt it on when it goes home hopefully next weekend 😃

No idea on performance wise as not driven it for a few months as been in the unit 🙁

[Pikey009]

I was going to say- your engine bay is so clean was just that one bit that needed sorting. Ive heard people say that they can feel a difference but I'm not sure if that's just a plussebo effect, will find out soon! Do you need the Corolla manifold gasket or does the starlet one fit? Also which hose needs to be changed for a longer one mate do you know?

[Pinkygti]

Yea I'm as fussy about my engine bays as I am my bodywork, hence the others being so clean 😁

Will let you know about performance when I test it out 👍🏻

Think it was the Corolla gasket I ended up using, I had a spare in my toolbox. Think it was the vacuum pipe for the servo off the top of my head, I just sort of went into auto mode lol

[Pikey009]

Very nice. I should get mine this week then it's getting refurbed and fitted but I just wanted to know if there's anything else I need. I should be ok with the stock gasket as long as it's in fact although I am tempted to order one just to be safe. I'll have to get hold of some hose too but not sure where to get it from

[Pinkygti]

Front bumper done whoop whoop whoop
