6gc on overhaulin - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #39364 22 posts Started by rayneezy23
i just saw a celica on overhaulin its the episode where they overhaul a 2 door tahoe it looks pretty sick
I thought you were going to tell me that a 6GC was the car being built on Overhaulin'. frown.gif


I found out that my girlfriend actully tried to submit my car to Overhaulin' last year...she had lots of shots of my car on her laptop and she said that she was submitting material but apparently it wasnt busted up enough to be chosen.

3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting.
wouldn't that be sweet though having a celica being overhauled getting a new engine and stuff that be awesome =)
I thought I caught a glimpse of a silver one behind the male host towards the end. I'd love to see a sixth gen on overhaulin'. As a matter of fact I have the perfect candidate parked in front of my house.

Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete...
I'd love to see a 6gc on any of those modding shows just to see what they would say about it.

On these types of programs do people actually goto a scrap yard, find the biggest pile of crap and then enter or are there people in america that actually drive around in cars like that?

I guess you don't have anything like an MOT over there, as most of them look like death traps before they get on the show.

you'd be surprised, we don't have MOT over here. you can drive around in busted up car and as long as it passes emissions once a year you're fine. i know when i was in the uk, i thought the mot was an awesome idea. we'd have a lot of poeple without cars tho, even i used to drive a beater! smile.gif

Its a yearly check done by a mechanic, there are strict do's and don't and yes/no answers. I'e are all the seatbelts in good condition and good working order?

If it fails on any of these points, then you have to get them fixed.

Once its deemed as road worthy then you are issued with an mot certificate that you need before you can apply for a tax disc.

Have to agree, yeah its a good show for the american muscle cars, but I wouldn't want my car painting in two tone (which seems to be all they ever do!)
They don't JUST do crappy old cars. I saw them overhaul a brand new mustang in one episode. The chick totally didn't deserve it, either.

oh my god, I saw the exact same thing! ha ha, I'm surprised so many of you saw that! I was like "wow, there they are telling him he's on overhaulin" when all of the sudden, my spidey senses tingled and I was like "CELICA!!! with aftermarket tailligights!" the taillights looked like they went horizontal like civic tails, rather than three vertical sections like stock.

haha nothing dude, just a surprise if they dont do a two tone on overhaulin thats all.
Actually I did see one the other day when they did that pickup in solid yellow, I was shocked when they didn't mask off the bottom half to do it something else.
