I don't hangout with celica/toyota people in the MAR. I'm around the Euro scene every once in awhile.
Only time celicas get together is if some of us really old members get dinner or something (maybe 1 celica shows up, the rest of us have other cars)
But you are always welcome to come out

correct me if im wrong... (not asking to get roasted here) lol... and no offense, and im not tryin to be a d*ck, but, our cars are unibody and cutting out that spare tire well might cause u some body difficulties in the future? ???

he will likely fill the hole with new goodies and then weld it in, or use some sik-o bolt action.

I don't think the spare-tire well is going to be a major harm in the rigidity or strength of the car, but w/ the amount of effort in this project I see it being covered.

no difficulties. It will be replaced with a welded in piece and not compromise any integrity at all

And i'll probably end up with a cage in the car so it'll be rock solid.

How long did the firewall swap take you? There is a guy selling a halfcut nearby that I was contemplating stealing the firewall, dash, and all associated goodies out of.

i'd pick it up if you can.

Swapping the firewall is about ~10 hours of actual work. Achievable in a weekend of hard work no problems.

cause if I have both already in my garage it makes financial sense to check and see if it works
if not i'll just buy a rack....if it does...i have a rack and money to put towards another mod
