been a bit slow there for a while as couldnt get near it. engine bay isnt far away now and bottom is near done aswell. while slow work making sure everything is perfect tight and all to stop rattles and not have to work at it again.

just a wee pictue of the toyota badge off the starlet. made 2 wee brackets to fit the early grill sits nice and neat now.
also the boot spoiler fitted what a job the brackets were all broke off it so made and plastic welded on new ones sealed the holes before i fitted it to stop water leaking and waxoyled the part if the boot under the spoiler as common to rust under it.
