JayME's 83 Starion

Id like to restore the grandparents old one and keep it factory. Its going to take a fair bit of work.

At a glance I need new bonnet, nose cone, possibly gaurds and doors plus new steel welded in the roof. The underside and boot look ok. Time will tell once I start stripping it down.

Im doing panel and paint on the other one as time allows so this will remain priority for now (getting married next year and I want it to be a wedding car). This one will eventually have some more power extracted from it and some braking and handling mods.

Starions that got those wheels here mean they were part of the sport option package... = LSD!!

Nice pics, Starions looking good mate. That celica must pull hard up those hills. Its good that you can still get to the sugar loaf car park. Good wee drive

Nice cars. Gotta sling that exhaust up some more, she's hanging down a lot.

Yea I want to redo the exhaust and go for something a little more subtle one day but I've recently become a poor student again . . . .

Plus its actually certified for its noise output so if I change anything it will mean more $$ to get that redone again (although the noise certification seems like a complete waste of time anyway)

We just went up from Columbo street - it is still closed a bit further along however

Starion looked kinda shiney in this pick so thought I'd post it up - back on factory wheels (for warrent reasons :p)

Ski is for sale if anyone wants one :)

kinda fitting that the trailer is rocking some stock 80s era Mitsubishi rims, am thinking early Cordia Turbo or Magna.

Tried to get motivated and start tidying up the worst of the paintwork on my Starion today (after seeing what Prozac has done in such a short time :P)

On the to do list at this stage are the bumpers, front nose cone/skirt and bottom of the front gaurds. Ideally I would respray the whole car but don't really have the time or inclination right now - and its still fairly respectable.

Anyway some progress . . .

and a random photo playing around with the camera

By posting it here I might be encouraged to keep at it LOL

Looking good man, I really like to original front skirts on the earlier model one, it they're straight, will look awesome :)

Any plans for modifications? Yours is so nice and original though... Hmmmm.
