Zac's 1982 Starion, Steering into the OCD Skid.

[ProZac]

Harass me about detail work with no real progress here :-).

[gibbon]

December shaping up to be Starion Month so far, loving it 

[ProZac]

Indeed, I hope it continues. @tomble and your threads inspired me to actually write something about working on this car. Really enjoying reading other peoples progress too!

Loving all the Starions around here recently. Such cool cars.

Also keen to know how you get on with home plating, as its something i've been interested in for a while but there arent nice kits here like you get overseas.

Looking good, the passivated hardware comes up so nice.  Maybe it's time I updated my build thread also since there's a bit of a trend going on around here at the moment.

Good to see more Starions/Mitsis appearing on here, almost tempted to put some of my lancers up

I bought one of the Caswell kits in from overseas for some stuff at work, and it's fricken expensive by the time you get it here! Plus, they cant actually supply the passivation solutions because they're DG's. I'm on contact with an industrial supplier up north, and they've given me a heap of material to read, just need to sit down and go through it all to figure out what we need :-).

This is the one I've hung on to, and this is the one I want to build into my dream Starion

This is soooo cool!  I'm excited to see what you get up to!

Also I need to get my hands on some blasting kit.  Your gear looks IMMACCULATE.

Hi, my name is Zac, and I'm a Starion Weirdo. If you're not into excessive detail and a substantial lack of real progress, this isn't the thread for you :-).

 

I god damn love it 

 

[tomble]

Can you do my starion for me pls

[ProZac]

I was seriously contemplating buying your car when it was for sale by the PO. Looking at your thread, it was a good buy, it looks like an honest car, and being an early GSR-X model is very rare and very cool. It's your project to do, but I'll sure help however I can! :-).
