Hi all,

Most of you would have seen this but some maybe haven't so here goes, im copy and pasting the main thread from another forum..............

Hi All,

About time i started this really, so here goes...........

Well after a couple of weeks away and a little think i have decided to go ahead with the 4EFTE conversion into the Buggy ;D

ToyotaGT will be doing all the work that i can't handle myself, or just cant be bothered to do myself :o So most of it!
and is going to be done in stages so that the dent on my wallet is gradual rather than all in one hit!

Stage 1: get Starlet stripped down and engine rebuilt.
Stage 2: get engine into chassis
Stage 3: get everything conected (engine/brakes/wiring etc)
Stage 4: Cosmetic work
Stage 5: IVA work and road registration
Stage 6: Post IVA work and fine tunning


History:

Car was bought by me and a friend last February (2008) off of ebay for £1158. It was originally owned by Essex council and was part of a project to keep convicted chavs off the streets and give them something constructive to do. Needless to say it was a mess!

The car came with loads of bits, most of which we didn't need and everything had to be stripped down and started again as nothing was done properly. It has been given new brakes all round, new brake lines, rebuilt 998cc engine (now getting changed for 4EFTE) and so on.

About a month ago my friend decided that he doesn't want to do this project any more and i have bought him out and now own the car myself.

Its currently being built up for the new IVA inspection and will hopefully be on the road sometime later in the year, hopefully late summer!



Complete mess with all the extra bits that we got with the car!


It really is this small, i like this picture as you can see the tiny size of it compared to my mate!



With the old 998cc mini engine, very soon to be gone :harhar:



Uprated camber/toe adjusters with poly bush's all round.


Then this weekend i went and picked up my new Toy!!! :whistling:

Sunday.... Drove all the way to Oxford to pick up my new little beast, this will be providing all the main parts i need. Engine, gearbox, turbo, ECU, wiring etc.... Got this little beast from Flrecebay for £600, still runs, just has a bent radiator and it looks like exhaust manifold may also be cracked but now i have all the main parts i need to get this mostly there!

will be breaking off bits i don't need soon!









Dropped this off with ToyotaGT and have collected my buggy to work on while things get put into motion, have to strip it all down and get the old mini engine out of it! Every time i see it again i just can't believe how small it is



fits in my garage with plenty of room all round, plus the trailer!!!



Now i can do little bits in the evening, or whenever i get free time!

Stage 1,2 and 3 should hopefully be done with Stage 4 underway by July/August

Can't wait for this to get underway and just want to say a big thankyou to James and the team at ToyotaGT who have done so much for me already, i wouldn't be doing this conversion if it wasn't for them! ;D
