His mate is doing the quotes so I guess he just told his mate to bump the price up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Last minute bit of test fitting of a Starlet GT (EP82) rear spoiler. Needs a bit of fettling and chopping but Should make a nice mold for carbon / fiberglass piece(s) later in the year - Might even have a couple for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 That looks like it would be a good fit bud... Especially in the second pic. Interested to see what the finished article ends up like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Even though I'm not going to be working on the car any time soon I've continue hoarding bits until I get back and fit them. Managed to spot a cheap(ish) MR2 Spyder/Roadster electric PS pump for £60 on fleabay- I'll be swapping to that to free up the parasitic power losses of a standard PS pump - I'm also looking to fit two cooling rads- One for oil cooling and the other for PS accompanied by AN6 lines and fittings. The process for wiring up is supprisingly simple, Its the bracketry etc I'll need to get made / make! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Well.. There it is, last wash before she goes. Its been a short but fantastic trip never missed a beat even if she did break a driveshaft! but unfortunately as of late she's been treated badly by the M6... Sat in traffic on Wednesday and a van switched lanes whilst speeding, didn't see we were at a standstill and slammed into a Pug 307 behind me, who then ploughed Into the back of me throwing the car 2-3ft forwards. Bad case of whiplash, bruised lower back and one seriously dented boot. Insurance is coming to inspect on Monday but I highly suspect they'll write it off, whatever the outcome I'll probably be putting the money into the MB or my R32 when I finally get the engine and box back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
