LOL, this is all anyone cares about my car
... Yeah, without the gap there is no way I could pop my hood, and considering I pop my hood basically daily, the gap is quite functional until i get my hood latch extended.
>
Thanks dude!!! ...yeah I know, I got the hood in pretty beat up condition and did all the work on it myself and when I painted my bumper I wanted to paint my hood at the same time since it wasn't my garage so it got hurried through prep and painted and I missed a couple spots. However the cars getting repainted within the next year or so, so the dent will no longer be there then...
Anyone else got some more flaws they'd like to point out about my car??

Everything looks good bro. I'm loving the wheels, and the way they match up with everything. It's a work in progress, and will only continue to get better

^^ hehe thankyou hector and sleek, finally some heartwarming compliments.
Puget Sound Toyota Owners Festival was yesterday. Had A LOT of fun seeing all the yota's. Also, I may have found someone to trade their clean Hachi Roku coupe for my alltrac
so we'll see.

The more I think about the trade, the better it sounds for both parties...He wants something else, something faster, I want something I can do stuff with (drifting) and something aside from AWD turbo which I will have enough of..Also his car is clean, my alltrac is cleanish but not as clean as I wish it were. Here's the AE I'm talkin about
By no means is this for sure or anything, I just talked to his friend, but I will be talking to him as soon as he gets back from vacation in mexico. My stepdad used to have an AE and despite its extreme slowness, it was a lot of fun to drive..one way or another I will prbably have one within a year or so. My plans are just coils, flushness, and 4AGZE. As my alltrac is, it will just be my project project car..since the 6gc is always the #1 project

I would definitely switch out the rims to Watanabes. And dude, an AE86 is my dream car. My dad has had his '85 AE86 since '87 so I've known it all my life. It's so much fun to drive!! Hopefully his gets passed down >:D if not... he's got a spare 4AGE block and head I could I always get creative with.. lol

Yeah, those rims aren't my personal pref. But unlike the celica, the ae86 has some aftermarket support / there are A TON in my area and therefore lots of people open to trading and selling items on craigslist. The AE86 is definetly a great car for what it is and for its time. When I was like 14 my stepdad bought one at auction for $100. We fixed it up and he drove it for a couple years before selling it for like 20 times what he paid...haha. Really fun cars, is your dad's a coupe or hatch? modded? pics?
2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 12014 Toyota Rav4 XLE
My dad's is a coupe. I prefer hatchbacks though. Uhh, I don't have any of his car, but I have one of how it looks EXACTLY. Except my dad's rims are the stock ones.

Looking good, your car is still the background on my computer. You planning on Projectors? They would make that top photo look sickk.

Thanks! And yes I really really want projectors to finish off the front end. My super sweet girlfriend told me she would get me some this winter as my birthday is 4 days after Christmas.

nice birthday present !
Your car reminds me ALOT of Johnneh's before he sold it. I like what you are doing with it, and what you have planned!
Picked up a new steering wheel yesterday (Momo Thunder), will post some pics up later. OT, but I also got a new APR Cold Air Intake for the Audi.
Also, some other secret goodies came in for my swap.

Just updated my interior a bit, still just a couple things to do. I want to put my Apexi AFC NEO where the cigarette lighter is and rewire that to the center console.

Looking good!
Rewiring the cig lighter to the center console is very easy. I did it this past weekend and it works great.

So does the knob fit pretty flush with the ring in the boot?

looks nice dude, but please, please, please fix that bonnet latch soon, its disturbing me how if you leave the bumper part pressed in like that it may end up warping into that shape and will never line up !!!
other than that its stunning

Perfectly flush, and it's the short shifter boot. When I first got my quick shifter, I had my OEM boot and it was actually constricting my shifts, with this boot I can literally tap the knob to put it in gear.

Yeah, I still really want to do that but A.) Dont have any sort of GT4 latch, RHD or LHD and B.) I can't say I don't trust the weld method it just kind of sketches me out and I dont completely see how it would fix the issue, nor do I personally have a welder. And for the warping, I've already played with some washers and lined it up perfectly, only thing is when I line it up perfectly, I can't fit my hand in to pop the latch. And if the warping really got any worst, I've got a nice heat gun that will do the trick.
Thank you though

Sneak peak of an upcoming project. Won't be going on until spring due to the fact it is starting to snow soon up here and the calipers simply won't fit my winter wheels . But I just got them and painted them up, LS400 4 piston calipers and GT4 rotors, hopefully they will go on around the same time as my swap, that would be ideal.
