Hey jon remeber when you need help let me know i'll gladly help you. Are you lowering your car also? And are you getting rims? Or is that your project after this is done?
I'm going to be ordering Tein SS coilovers w/in a week or so. And I am looking for the right set of rims to put on her. I want something black with a polished lip I just have to find the right ones in the right size.

We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.
Hey man i'm saying you get these and drop the celi about 2inch and with everything else on it will look sick i swear.

Teh Celica sleeps for Winter '06. Suspension overhaul begins........
HAHA your funny Jim, anyways i gotta PM you about somthing. But anyways its all up to You Jon.
Matt, yours isn't bad, it almost looks about the same as the middle one I put up. The dish lip looks a bit deeper on the one I picked though and I like that. Also I couldn't help myself and I put on the Currens, glad I did too, these look f'in awesome.

I laughed when I saw this one, I pictured her saying "Jon, come out of the darkness and play with me."

LOL. That statement just confirms what I've been thinking all along: We all have a sickness. My car "speaks" to me also. rolleyes.gif
^ x2 Jon them currens are sexy. I can't wait to get some money. There is a silver 6th gen coupe here in fremont. When i save up some money i'm gonna try buying it from them and do a full curren conversion. that way i have two sweet celi's. But looks good can't wait to come out and help you get your car finished let me know.
Yay! They look awesome! biggrin.gif

To start with this is what I will be driving while I do the work, she's a beast

Strippin her down

IPB Image
This random stranger stopped by so I made her work

IPB Image
I think she actually cried a little when I did this smile.gif

This was the last picture I took as I was driving away, most of the exterior pieces I want to take off are off, now I get to start sanding and doing the bondo and fiberglass work.

My thoughts exactly. As far as the car, I am adding SS-III front extensions, 404A sides, and Hiro rear extensions. I've also already added on Currens and am currently looking for a good set of rims to put on her.

Nice!
that will look really nice when its done
if you got some projectors that would look even better!
but thats like $10,000,000 !

Actually closer to 700, and thats next on my list after Tein SSs wink.gif

So another day, another crap ton of sanding work getting done..

I found a wreck when I got up to the front fender, also, whoever repaired the wreck didn't even spray down a coat of primer, I went through clear what seemed like forever, then paint, then metal frown.gif. I was starting to hope I could get this job done without having too much metal exposed so I don't have to worry about it oxidizing but no luck on that anymore...

Side shot that shows the already bondo'd and crappy work done on the left front.

I remember reading a post a while ago that talked about spoiler removal and someone was saying that even after unbolting the spoiler from inside the trunk they could not get it off the car. I had the same problem. It took about half a can of adhesive remover sprayed around the posts, a lot of 30 lb fishing line to use as a saw to help break the adhesives up, and 2 hours for me to get through all the crap they had jammed in there to hold it down. Atleast I know they didn't want them to fly off the car.

A shot of the rear after spending some time sanding down the rear deck.

Oh yeah, I also found out that both DAs I have are busted, apparently my dad hadn't used them in a while...my arms are sore.
