Well the quarter panel that I need was all rusted on the inside cause the antenna drain line was just hanging kindasad.gif
And I still have the other car for the windows, I never really cut them out before and I was just too lazy.
But yeah there will probably be another one after college!
Not a full car, but more or less a front clip haha

Yeah, but it was all full of rust, the car sat for about 4 years before I bought it.

You stripped that car clean! I've had to send a Celica shell off before but I definitely left more on it than that. Sans the doors, this is how I sent it off:

Truth. I'm on number 4 right now. I'm tempted to sell it, but there's the thought that I might just end up buying another shell later.

Why wouldn't you save the doors off that car!?!
They are in pretty much perfect condition!

The doors that were from the silver car I had went on my car smile.gif
I took my black doors off an sold them to a guy, I believe, named Justin on the forum (forgot his user name), but he hasn't been on in a long time now.
Also, I kept the hatch because it is in perfect condition too!

As for the blue car that I have now, I might be saving those doors as well because there is very minimal rust on them and it's hard to find non-rusted doors for our cars.

My neighbors told me I should work at a chop shop lmao

And just a quick update, I got a pair of 6gc.net stickers in the mail today smile.gif
Also, I just broke even on the silver car and junkyard parts that I had bought ($450 for the celica & $200 in parts from the junkyard.)

I'm pretty happy now smile.gif

No worries, I did save the doors. I finally managed to give both away a couple of months ago. I didn't bother saving the wiring harness though. I still have interior bits of plastic and the dash that I can't bring myself to throw away but it was fun to part the car out. I wouldn't do it again, but it was fun.

The blue one that I have is going to be my last part out.
After college I am definitely going to get another one and make one my DD and the other my project car.

I'm going to be getting this bumper within a few weeks:


I'm looking to do something along the lines of that.
List of things for it:
-Paint black with car
-Green driving light LED's inside all the headlights
-2 or 4 fog lights in the lower grille area
-1 projector fog light in each circular cutout
-1 green LED driving light in the area connected to the circular cutout
-GT4 upper grille if it will fit as well as the TRD badge on the grille
-Not sure which turn signals will fit in there yet either

Pfft. Amateurs. I was pulling a steady 60 hours a week between four jobs over the summer. tongue.gif I wish that was still the case....

Mike, I've been rocking one of those keys for two years. The metal is a little soft, so be careful to never get raped in a parking lot at 12:30 in the morning, give a girl a black eye, and lean into your car and have your butt snap the key off in the lock. Trust me, it sucks. Take your key to the local Toyota dealership, as well as an insurance card. My dealership did a factory cut on both of mine for free.
