Bling Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 Shit yeah, it's like a strawberries and cream theme from the 80's. They knew their market. Doesn't quite smell that pleasant though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myk00l Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Is your left side guard mirror missing? I have two L/H one's in my 80's Toyota parts stash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 I do have the mirror actually, but I lack the plastic base for it, have any of those? What sort of condition are your mirrors in, could be interested as mine does have some scratches on the chrome housing. Spare wouldn't be a bad thing to have.

Bling Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Ticking along slowly eh. Wheels were a big thing to sort as it determines more than I initially imagined. On the plus side, can fit some decent brakes now if I go that way. Relatively smooth sailing once the rust is sorted I think, not that fixing it will be an easy prospect. Too many awkward layer upon layer sections to sort. 80's life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I see you have the desprang part sorted, when does the tang bit happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'd happily tang it. Alas the money isn't there, and I can't see it being there in the foreseeable future TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAD Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Lime! This is a cool car. Was the neighbour of my Starlet for a while in it's previous shed location. Good choice of wheel, I like a Longchamp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted December 31, 2018 Author Share Posted December 31, 2018 Ah small world eh! Wheels should look alright I think, haven't tried the fronts on, but the rears should just tuck in stock guards. Might need to fold the lips up to prevent rubbing. I don't have the fab skills to remake the guards so this was a requirement for the height I hope to have it sit at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengertiger Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 cool looking cars i may have the option to purchase one soon,its had a minor crash on the front are you breaking your spare car or is it a runner too? looking for bonnet and front gaurds the ones i have arent the best mostly bent.

kyteler Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Pretty sure he has two legit cars unless I've missed another car along the line somewhere? Fixing the red one. Two tone is stock. Regular E7 sedan guards etc should fit though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Yeah no spare car here sadly, jump on "RWD Toyota Buy & Sell - NZ" facebook page might be your best bet for parts. I don't have any spares apart from a grill / lights from previous shape model. Parts aren't easy to come across if they are ones specific to the hardtop. Is the car you're looking at up your way? I saw one on trademe a while back that had a frontal, white from memory. I was tempted at it for parts, but it was listed at 4k in pretty average shape. They had quite a few spares with it. Annnnnnd back to cutting the red one up even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengertiger Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 yes a white one its pretty tidy everywhere else except the front that had a prang,have spare gaurds bonnet etc that came with it but they are pretty average pity because the originals are rust free but badly bent. will check out the face book link cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 Odds of finding rust free parts these days are slim to none. What sort of condition are your spares in? If it's just a dent here and there with some rust mixed in, it might be quicker to just fix what you have. You should start a project thread for it.

Something tells me they don't, but my memory of E7 panels is a bit hazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
