Great build up!!!
My only concern is the steering wheel.
In case you “miss” the steering wheel in any drift action you will probably hurt your hands…

I like everything but the vents in the front fenders and the rear. Great work, though!

The rear wheels could be wider and drop the rear more. Looks great other than that.

Car is looking amazing. I bought mine a few weeks ago. Its a great summer only car. The funny thing is I didnt think that I woluld do much to it beyond suspension and wheels (car already had exhaust clutch dp and a few things here and there). A few weeks later I have already spent over a grand in mods...which add up fast. The mod bug definately bit, and your car is amazing.

Thanks to all for the feedback, I've been using the site for a while now however I wanted to wait until I had enough done to throw up a thread.

The steering wheel is gone folks so not to worry, looking at getting a dished 3 spoke steering wheel next with a snap off adapter for security of course LoL

Next on the cards is to finish off the interior, iron out a few niggly little problems and concentrate on the engine bay then.

I already have 25mm spacers on the rear but I might just get a larger set machined up, looks like the 19 x 10JJ just ain't cutting it LoL...

Great buildup.

The fenders are a little big for those wheels sizes though. You could definitely go more aggressive on the wheel fitment and look even better.

Oh ya forgot to say myself and my mate built two of these so there is a blue twin of mine around however it is missing alot of the bits that mine has, wheels, cf bonnet, suspension etc...

Wheels will do me for now, they cost €2,100 plus tires for genuine Racing Harts Yes there is 3 right hand drive RWD Starlets (KP60/61's) in my workshop. At the moment I am putting a red top Beams Engine from a Toyota MR2 into a Starlet on ITB's so that should run around 220bhp on a sub tonne car

Absolutely captivating watching the transformation....great job, and good to see how people 'on the other side of the pond' have the love for this car too. Some elements will obviously be for some and for others but what is important is how YOU did all this, to make this car VERY MUCH your own creation. My God...my mind just boggles thinking about it...ALL that was involved.
Incredible.
