'86 Toyota Starlet EP70

I fear that this one already has lost to rust.

In September this year, I got my driver's license, and as a present I recieved a Toyota Starlet Ep70 from my granddad (dad's father). The car is over 26 years old but it has only run about 140 000 km. It's been standing just a few minutes from the sea in southern Sweden for a few years now, but in less than two weeks I'll start working on it together with my granddad (mum's father) who is an old car mechanic.
I have some plans for it:

-Firstly, I'll fix the rust, there is rust on several parts in the chassis but it's mostly surface rust (Edit:Or so I thought...)

-Secondly, I'll fix the suspension, I'll buy coils (of course), sway bars and strut tower bars both in the front and in the rear. I know for sure that this car can become a gocart for the street and that's what I'm aiming for.

-Thirdly, there will be hella much lightening going on. The car in its original shape weighs about 830 kg, another Starlet-build in Sweden has a target weight of 740 kg, I'm aiming a bit higher than that.

-Forthly, I'm thinking about switching out the engine for a V-tec motor, not sure about how it's going to turn out but it's a vision I have...


So, here's "a few" pics of how it sits right now, but as I said, in less than two week s(the 30th of November to be exakt) we'll go down there and pick it up!
