Hi!

I am currently attempting a restore of a 1987 Toyota Starlet here in Sweden. The car belonged to my late wife and has sat in my garden for around 6 years.

I've stripped the car completely, cut out all rust from the manin body and welded in new panels, rust-proofed and undersealed. New shocks at the rear and refurbished front struts. The engine (2E-C 1.3 liter 12 valve) had a burned out exhaust valve which I've replaced and lapped in all valves. Rings and bores look OK.

Currently at the stage of rebuilding the engine prior to settimng it back in the chassis. I may need some help with the carburettor hose connections later !!

Look forward to getting the beast back on the road to replace my ageing Volvo 745 (1988 model) which, after ½ million kilometers is beginning to fade...

Thanks for letting me join

Regards, Robin
