I sold my old starlet gt turbo as i was going to pay the money to have my ek9put through the sva test, but decided to wait the 3 months until it turned 10.
I bought this as a project to do until my ek9 is ready, when i got it the engine was ****ed. It had never been looked after and was in a sorry state, but i only paid £900 for it with the new engine so was a bargain. I have spent the last 3 weeks rebuilding it, i have put the new engine in it, replaced the timing belt and tensioners, put a new exedy clutch in it and painted the rocker cover and a few various other parts as they were well past their best.
I am really proud of what i have managed to achieve as i am no mechanic and have never attempted anything this big before, here are the pics of the build up hope you all like it.
here are the pics of when i picked it up.
some pics of the strip down.
