A rare Canvas Top model, looks like it'll be a money pit though..

Been sitting a long time so everything will need attention. The model year is wrong. Also I'm fairly sure a UK front bumper could be a red flag too.

I did join this forum a year or two ago as I did have a question or two back then about my GT however I would use UKSO more as I do more with the SR starlets than my GT.


I have started a progress page for this Starket on UKSO however if there is interest I will happily update one on here also.

Cheers
Dale

That's a quick turn around Dale, you don't hang about :)

What was the back story to it, was it just forgotten about or someone's long term project?

The one in the brochure is red too:

Thanks Jay, I was off work the week I got her so I got a fair amount of cleaning done however I still have quite a extensive list.

She was imported over in 1996 by a Japanese couple Mr and Mrs Chan, They had her on the road untill 2001 then she lay in there garage ever since, I was told the guy died recently and had about 10 cars in total, This being tucked away at the back of the garage, The person I bought the car off were helping the family sell the cars off and they just asked the guy to scrap it! however he could see she was something special and this is how she ended up being auction on ebay.

I think red must of been the most common color for these.

Awesome find then, very few of these Canvas Tops made the jump across. Depends what you find underneath everything but fingers crossed she doesn't need too much - all the visible bits look pretty solid and straight so far. I think we all see our cars as money pits at times but this one looks worth a bit of effort!

Health to enjoy and please keep us all posted on progress!

Its looking like I am definitely needing the lower control arm mounting looked at , so there will be a little welding needied but I will happily feed this money pit best i can!

I will make a thread about her and get some more photos up of her when she first arrived.

Cheers
