Water leaked fixed. Thermostat house wasn't sealing at all. 

Picked these bad boys up off TM. 13x5.5

Will polish them up and try them on when I get a chance. 

Scored these fender mirrors off trademe as I cracked one of the bases on my current ones, originally for a nissan, should look sweet.

Straight off the bat, new engine. Dropped a 5K in (128k's). with the help of @chris rs engine crane. shot.

Slight water leak around the water pump but other wise runs mint.

List of things to do. 

• Fix water leak
• Respray front bumper
• Drive it
• Fit fender mirrors
• Spray a box of spare interior bits with black vinyl and reinforce the centre pillar plastics (weak ass things)
• Make (attempt) some new door cards
• Re-tint front windows
• Future respray

ran out of space/motivation/non woffable so I put the starlet in my parents garage where its quietly sat for the past 2 and a bit years waiting for some motivation. Which has finally returned. April2017

first things first,a wof, almost had a clean sheet (Dargaville seems a bit slacker than old Auckland) to say i was stoked would be an understatement. 1 big ticket item. front cross member rust.

bye bye

Cut up some box section and welded that in

Shes now sitting pretty back in my garage with a fresh WOF.

Mar2014 - Moved to Auckland from Hams. Progress slowed.

Looking a bit out of place with all these Auckland soccer mums

Low + Big Bump = No more mirror, flew off and smash on the front pillar.

Picked up a new style from ebay. No good photos sadly. Put the Hotties back on as I was driving 50km daily for work, dropped the revs from 3700 to 3000 at 100km/h.

I had a bunch of wheel bearing issues across 2014 and was getting a bit worried travelling 50km + a day with no backup car.

picked up a carib for a daily

Feb2014 Had a go at tinting the windows, pretty stoked with how it turned out,

pretty dark

Had these on for 3 years, failed a wof the other day for being too dark, so i ripped the front ones off, all good will need to re-tint with some 35% instead of 15%.

Some random photos

Old vs new. Plus some glam

Had a friend helping with some maintenance.

Picked these up sometime in 2012. Had grand plans for them. Originally 13x5 I had plans to widen to 13x7. Time and money ran short and I just wanted them on the car. Dec2013

They're originally from a 78 era KE35

Got them coated off white and wrapped with some 165/55/13

Drove it soldily for a year. very little happening (like I have goals/student budget). Took some glam shots though.

Did some totally uncharacteristic rust/bog repairs for a starlet. Jan2013

All around the boot seal/locing mechanism and some small spots on the fire wall.

No proper after pictures sadly.

Took her on a couple road trips. Fully loaded for uni break drive home.

Bumps stops all the way. Still looking for some spares I can shorten if anyone has some lying around.

Somewhere in between all this a K50 went in. A 4K went in. A new diff went in. Brand new carpet. Extractors/flows, 2 inch exhaust.

All lacking photographic evidence. 

All sweet starlets need some fendy mirrors. Got some hockey stick ones cheap from ebay. Sep2012

Made up a simple parcel tray as well:

Let me know your thoughts.

Cheers, Joel.

Picked up some Recaro Fishnets in Feb 2012 in okay condition, chucked one in while I got the other recovered by a local guy in Dargaville.

Scored these sweet back seats off Hippo on Club-k, he threw in spare black boot carpet as well, legend.

Drove it on the 12s for a wee while, found some Hotwires I liked in Jan 2012.

Sad to see the 12s go, but was in dire need of some wheels.

Too much rubber on these (185/70/14s or something ridiculous)

looking sweet on hotties. 185/60/14. Giant finger for scale.

First things first, appease the gods of low.

Cobra super lows all round, KE70 Wagon shocks in the back and shortened shocks up front.

I've been meaning to make a topic for a long time now. Large photo dumps incoming. 

I picked this up around November 2011 in Hamilton, no WoF, no Reg, ran like a dog. 

Yip got Chris's one. Works like a treat. Cheers for the help and offers.

Bump. Still looking only need it for a couple hours tommorrow. Would rather give an old school member the cash over hirepool.

Cheers.

Sweet. Probably keen gotta come close to there today anyway. How large is it? Will it fit in a Carib? What's your number?

Morning old school.

Looking to borrow an engine crane for the day/weekend for a box or two (or cash).

Swaping a 5K into my starlet, I'm located in Albany.

Cheers, Joel
