Chucked engine in few weeks ago real happy with how it looks. I got some cx racing headers off eBay, I had read a bit about them online saying that they are shit don't buy them, I still brought them just to try them out. They seem to fit alright, I'll just see how they go. Got some sweet photos of it a few weekends ago. Photo credit 4x114.3 Stan

Hey guys I haven't been working on this lately been real busy with work and other shit. Got it rolling on its new wheels srr mk3 13x7.5jj 0 offset front 13x8jj 0 offset. Got a japanese number plate that suits engine size and has 61 in it.

Looks nice man! How much firewall has been cut out for the dizzy?

Nice kp man. Liking the yellow.

Lately I've been doing things that don't cost much to do while I've been saving up. So I started to cut and polish the engine bay. I've since finished polishing haven't got a good photo to show you guys. This photo is just at the start. At the rear end I've ditched the idea of putting t series diff in ( for now any way ) just for money reasons. This is May or May not be the reason why I can't afford to buy parts for my car. Lol Wheel and tyre combo from jp 13 x 7.5j , 13 x 8j will show centres once I pick them up. Thanks for reading

Looking good man 14s fill guards way better.

This is what I've been up to lately. Painted outside of car over Easter weekend. Have done other bits and bobs like make seat mounts and added a seatbelt bar to roll cage. All done before paint. Thanks for looking nick

Na I like the standard body lines to much (each to their own). Back to the ae86. I saw a video of this at the track and you had a shit load of oil on the under side of bonnet. What happened there?

Pretty good for all the abuse you have given it. It would be cheaper and easier for me to leave the t series the same but my body work is pretty much done. Lol

Sweet as thought I would pick your brain about the shortening of the diff before I did it to mine. Has the standard starlet diff held up to the beating of the 4age? Or are you using something else?

^ QUOTE FAIL^ lol

looking good man what brand are tyres?

Other bits that I've picked up since I had my posting break. They ssr winmesh 13x7.5j -7 only 2 of them. They so shinny. I Love them The one on the left is the driver seat other is passenger seat. Passenger is a factory AE86 bride and driver is a bride ttm-c.

It may come as a surprise but when your sitting in your engine bay bogging and sanding every little corner, it gives you a lot of time to think about things. I was starting to think what I want to do with this car once it's done. As it can't be registered for the road, it was going to be a grip racing track car nothing serious just a bit of fun. But I've been riding shot gun in a few of my mates skid cars and was thinking that would be a bit of fun. But.... The 4k wouldn't cut it as a skid car so I bit the bullet and jumped on the 4age starlet band wagon. I really wanted to find a rwd 4age and t50 combo so that I knew I was getting everything I needed to do the conversion. But nothing was coming up on trademe or yahoo jp. So I changed my plans again and brought a t50 that came with everything todo with the gearbox. Then about two weeks later I got a phone call from a friend of mine, he knew of a engine and gearbox for sale in jp. I then asked what else was for sale? It turns out it was everything that un bolted from a AE86. I had to have it. So I brought it and I'm selling off all the bits I don't need which is paying for part of the engine conversion. It came with everything. I'm going to use engine, gearbox, diff, front struts, radiator and brakes all around. Everything else I'll sell off.

So after priming inside a engine bay it was time to start the massive job of bogging the welds. Looking back now I shouldn't have gone overboard with the bogging like I did but ohwell I've done it now. It's only annoying at the moment because it shows up very little spot that hasn't been filled. This is the engine bay while bogging. This is after bogging and a few coats of primer still not right. ( I'm to fussy apparently ) I've also been working on the body. It looked like it was real tidy already but as I started looking I found more and more dents. So full prime for the body let it sit for a week or so. That gave it time to shrink back if it was going to. After that I sanded it down found where it needed more bog and then spot primed it. This is the body after the spot prime, I'm going to leave it for a while before I sand it a give it another prime.

It's been a while since my last post I've mostly been doing body work. I didn't really see the point in posting as I knew it was going to be a very slow process. But now I feel as I am coming closer to finishing off the body work it's about time I made a post. I will take you back a few months when I stripped the car back to just a body, I made set of caster wheels to roll it around on while running gear was out. I paint stripped engine bay it came out real nice and hand sanded inside the car in hindsight I wish I had also paint strip the floor because after about two weeks later all the primer started to flake and cracked up. I found out that the paint I was priming over wasn't prepped properly. I've just left it for now it's most probably to much work to strip it off as I'm just going to put carpets over it. More to come got to find some more photos.

Three and a half years ago I got this ute from a farm down in nelson thinking that I am going to keep this forever. But times have changed and I am now selling her to fund my other projects. So the past few weeks I have been pulling her a part, cleaning , painting and polishing everything that was starting to look old and shabby. Just a few more little things to do then it will be on trademe. I will be putting it on for 7500ono if you are interested let me know.

Hey man tidy starlet. i found when using picture hosting sites like photobucket etc. on an ipad it can flip them in all funny ways so i downlaoded this app called Imgupr pretty sure it was free and it's real easy to use. Just upload photo once uploaded press get embed codes. Then copy the code with at both ends of it. Then paste it in the reply bit down the bottom of the page.

What sort of changes? I'm heading down to Hampton that weekend with a mate of mine, it would be good to meet a chat about starlets, haha.

Hey man hope your algood. So sad about the mean green. Do you have a car to get around in at the mo?

Man your keen having so many projects at once. But you are doing great stuff. I don't know how your doing it. Keep it up.
