93 Starlet GT

March 6, 2017

Have had this car for roughly 5 years was out the back of the house bought it from a member here as a rolling Shell minus the wheels,running gear and grill long story short went to put a non turbo starlet engine in it and made a balls of the wiring got p@ssed off with it and left it down the back, have gathered a few bits throughout the years and have brought it down to the garage last month and have started at it in my spare time over the last few weeks. First and second picture is when i got it

And these pictures are from tonight basically have all the connectors marked so i know what i have and what i am missing, will be picking up a power steering pump and starter during the week.

Got the intercooler fitted properly tonight had to straighten the brackets that came with the kit also the pipe that fits onto the turbo itself il have to get milled down as the flange is too big and cant get nuts onto the bolts on turbo and managed to fix a snapped bolt on bonnet catch, have the wepr manifold on with standard ct9 turbo and blitz down pipe will be bolted to a greddy exhaust

Stripped down one of the drive shafts as one of the boots is ripped and overall wrecked from being left outside over the years oil and water and dirt isnt a good combo(will be doing other driveshaft tomorrow and getting new boots if needed)

Took the brake calipers off as well and gave them to Nicky he loves cleaning them and he gave one the calipers a coat of paint tonight again the other side will be done tomorrow, waiting on braided lines from jap91 and ive new handbrake cables so once i go out the rear brakes overall they should be decent.

Over the next few days il be attempting to get the wiring sorted on the inside because the dash is out, it will be staying out until the car is starting to ensure the wiring is perfect inside, not putting dash back in to go take it back out. Few pictures from tonight...
