OEM MK1 GT turbo Starlet

Got myself more toyota goodies today .. Bought cat studs and nuts and bought a 5ltr bottle of Coolant for when I change my turbo on Sunday .. Also bought a manifold heat shield so that will tidy up the engine bay a nice bit I'll polish it up before I put it on and get new bolts .. Can't put new parts on with old nuts and bolts

So after a lot of elbow grease and smokes my manifold heat shield now looks like this .. Well worth the effort I think took hours to do but really happy with it now .. What you all think

Cheers man have more stuff to polish up when they arrive too .. Takes a long time but well worth it

I'm hopin to have a few more optional extras comin soon too

Almost forgot to add that I got these off Toyota
Went down and got the other 2 exhaust hangers off them so that's all 4 now for my new exhaust and got the bolts for the mani shield and cat shield .. Can't put old bolts on new parts

You wouldn't ask a random girl her bra size, surely you couldn't ask him how much he spent.

Just enjoy the view and if your lucky you'll get to hear the numbers some day.

Hahahahaha good reply Adrian haha .. Not sure man in about 2500 on optional extras about another 1500 on toyota reciepts .. I know it doesn't look it but all the little bits add up on it snd Iv about another 400 quid worth of toyota parts on the way so I'm always skint ha

Just last week Iv spent 520 on it which resulted in this

Got this brand new actuator today in the post today very happy with it took a while to find a new one as they only come on the turbo from Toyota and its discontinued but was like 1300 euro ha .. Anyways here's my actuator

Ha I don't get you how come I need help ha?

Got this today brand new toyota rad .. Was quite pricy but worth it tho only genuine Toyota parts goin into this car .. I'm still waiting on my 2 new rad brackets and 2 new bolts for it

Got more parts off toyota today .. Brand new ht leads and a new king lead .. That's all the electrical side of the car all brand new now

You will see it some day when there's some type of a meet of some sort .. The car is by no means mint but it's come on a long way since Iv bought it last year there's be so much spent on it

Yeah Japan is full of them so there's so many things for change in the car and with the optional extras etc they
A little bit of pointless information there for you haha

Took a while to fine but I got there in the end

Ha thanks man my pockets feel the pinch tho ha pitty Valentine's is next week or I could buy more parts

I just know the right people to help me get them my mate Matty is s major help with this build and people in Japan so that's a big help but most of my extras have come from the uk .. Still plenty more to be got tho
I don't think I'll ever sell the car it's worth too much money at this stage I'll garage it and give it to my kids when I have kids ha I'm only 23 so wanna do the build now before I get a house with the bird

Ha she is yeah but lately she doesn't know about parts iv been gettin in the door ha sometimes there's better off not knowing when I buy parts ha

The attention to detail will be out of this world when I'm finished it will be like a brand new car .. It's not being drove at the minute it's gettin work done to it but hasn't been drove in a year or so but when I get it back it will be my daily it's a shame to just leave it sitting up doing nothin yano so I'll start drivin it nd enjoy it
