Well, im desperate... finding a junked LHD celica here - is near to imposible... I already bought all the parts i need to repair, but RHD to LHD conversion isnt going as i planed frown.gif Stuck on Firewall, i cant find it ANYTHERE in damn Lith and around all other countrys... Cuz all the Junked Celicas are either from UK or from UK... All LHD ones are already pressed, and are in Celica heaven lol...

If someone would be willing to cut the damn firewall out of the parted out celi - i would be more then happy.... I could show there it needs to be cutted out... I know shipping would be overkill - but i need this damn thing...

Let me know guys.

Thanks,
Romas

I will help and all that if i can find a junked celi... and I'll ask around... You know i got ur back smile.gif
Hey man, There are not a lot of celi's in my town. But i'll look around for you.. And i'll let you know asap if i find anything.
ill check on a celi this weekend at a dealer. he wont sell it so its been sitting in the lot for a while.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.
I have two extra Celis that could be cut apart. How much work is it to cut out the firewall? Because I'm rarely home and when I am I never have much time.

New Toyota project coming soon...

bout hour if Engine is out. Not much to cut, basicly about 5 cuts need to be made.. but i would need to show you how (pics) cuz if done not right - then i will have no use.. Cuts need to be done Lower then the places it is connected, so what the guys at bodyshop could disconect it at the places it was originaly connected and weld it on the stock welding pionts...

man, you're having a hard time around here lately. Could you try and not use all the ............. and !!!!!!!! It's like typing in all caps.

I can't believe you guys have so many celicas just sitting around in junk yards, granted I live in a smaller town, but I called around to the only 2 junkyards I know in the area and neither had seen one in forever. I wish I could just go to the junk yard and find 4 celicas. rolleyes.gif

romas... people are willing to help you out so much because you're a great guy and provide such great services to us
i'd say i'll just straight swap you your parts for mine so there is only shipping...

oh and BTW...in disassembling frame and such i notice most everything is tack welded...i'd assume the firwall might be as well..which would require just drilling the tackwelds and removing cutless..but i'm not sure on that one

ok got a price.. its gonna be like 500-750 for the firewall to be cut out and given to me, and then i would have to ship it so depending on shipping i dont kno the final price, i can have this thing in like a week though so if ur looking for something quick i got it, idk if u wanna spend 5-750 hundred seeing as i have no other estimate, everyone i talked to *3 junkyards and a foreign car garage* said its such a waste so i guess the price i got wasnt so bad, i was expecting like a 1000 or something, so yea lemme kno and i got it
Romas, don't worry about it. Manny and I have discussed it and we will ship the firewall. Done.

alright well thats what he told me, lol i knew it was gonna be some stupid number and he told me it wasnt worth it lol
talked to the guy today and he said he wont part it out, wants to sell it whole for 3500 (doubt thats going to happen considering the shape its in). sucks because i wanted the bumper and 2 post wing also frown.gif. im sure someone here will hook you up with a firewall though.

are you just going to send him one out of ur parts celi and ship it and all that on goodwill? If so, I commend you, that is amazing. Granted we do not get along well at all together, but that would be simply amazing and make me have the utmost respect for you.
Thank you Dustin

The date is set. I believe Sunday morning we are going to cut the firewall out. I will be sending it to Romas but he is going to pay the shipping and probably pay for a few new Sawzall blades wink.gif

This what the car looks like now...
