good luck i got a list and a half when the guy was telling me what he had to remove.. also dont forget gas lines he said lol
dustin if you can i would look for tack welds and buy a set of nice bits and drill it out...thats just wat i've learned from working on mine....the celica is like 99% tack welds btw and once you drill it out pieces come out very easily.......

Daniel, this job needs to be done profesionaly, whats why i asked Dustin to cut a little bit more out of the weld, just what the guys at the shop here could undrill the firewall them self..

Dustin: YOU DA MAN!

Guys, just be carefull, overlook all the places where it is connected, cuz even today and local junkyeard i examinated the UK junked celi, and it seems like the firewall is sealed everythere with the silicone, and in some places it will be hard as hell to disconect it...

HUGE thanks. As about shipping - dont hurry - cuz i have to figure out the cheapest ways as posible...

Werd Manny.
Post some pics.

JDM guy made me do it.
aiight kool man yeah post up some pics let me see the destruction
pics ? we've got pics biggrin.gif

We didn't really think to get too many pics, we were more concerned with cuttin this mutha up.

A lot of interior was already removed so it was pretty easy to get to what we wanted. Started like this

First we removed the heater core, streering column, main crash support bar, and some other interior goodies to make it look like this

i dont think ive ever seen a bare firewall like that. you two are awesome, much respect for stepping up and getting it done.

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.

Hey doGGy, you can cut it to a smaller piece, here's a pic of it

user posted image

you also need all the blue circled parts

user posted image

That are the parts only for the firewall, but don't forget you'll need a lot more if you go from RHD to LHD!!!
I got my clip without engine for 500 euro from: Deijne

I even went back to get some parts witch I forgot.
Here is my Rebuild:

Rebuild ST205 WRC

If you need more pic of thing you need or a list of what's different just email me!!
bach-
nice pics. thats exactly what we're basicly planning to do, we're just waiting on the dogmister to forward us back some pics with what exactly he wants cut off. wink.gif

Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)13.6@108MPH, 5SFTE Powered
I jus wanna throw this out cause im kinda confused about it...I know some kid who did a rhd conversion in his silvia..(went from left to right hand), and he didn't have to use a rhd fire wall. from what i can remember he jus cut holes where they needed to be cut in his ldh firewall and transplated parts...do you guys understand what im trying to say?, well if you do..why couldn't doggy jus do this...it seems alot easier and from a safty stand point, the structural integrity of the car is deffenetly not what it use to be. so if you could please clear up this confusion i would be thankful

actually jack, with the way we cut it out, and the way doggy is having it welded in, it will be just as strong as OEM.
and, id imagine, doggy wants it to LOOK stock.
and this way, it will.

thanks for the insight manny

Now SR powered
Exactly what Manny said and not only this - on Subarus, Nissans and few other cars Firewall is "universal" basicly there are holes for both LHD and RHD side, only thing what one side is Closed, so all you need is to Pop up the holes out and you set.... And Toyota did it "wrong" way for us Conversion people smile.gif)

BacerTune

Damn man you saved me smile.gif Now i will know exactly where and how to make everything smile.gif Thanks ALOT biggrin.gif

Manny & Dustin - tonight i will send pics with all the areas marked where the cut needs to be done smile.gif Thanks THanks AND THANKS smile.gif

And BaseTuner - could you post more pics of your firewall cutted out? And did you Cut out your front window while replaceing firewall??

What about the Top part of the firewall? It does have the different opening for the Heater core (different side) what did you do abou tthis? What about Wipers? Top piece what Wipers goes in?

I didn't remove my front window, but be careful while welding, put something in front of it. I did not remove it because I didn’t replace the hole window wiper bucket. It to must work and there’re coming sometimes more then 4 layer of metal together. Here are some pics of what I picked up.
