One pic its there, and the next its not... I know you said you were dirty, but dayam that would have been the best part!

haha i lowered it down with a jack and then pulled it out of there. its heavy, but not too bad. The hard part was getting it all to line back up with no alignment tool. Finally just used a large socket and got it close enough to bolt in.
looking good jesse!

thanks to njccmd2002 I was able to get the correct rails and put the driver side 7th gen seat in this weekend. I will get pics as soon as I can. I like it, but I might put the 6th gen bottom cushion back in there. I'm a bit tall for the car and need to find a way to lower this seat some. I'm sick of being awkwardly reclined because my head hits the ceiling. If I didn't have a sunroof I'd have more head room..

hahaha im 5'5" so i have no problems tongue.gif
terrible pictures but you get the idea... both 7th gen seats are in with heaters. Just need to wire in the switches.



Haha i love the idea of seat heaters in your celica smile.gif, looking great keep up the good work thumbsup.gif
Looks good, I am still amazed at how 7th gen seats look so damn good in our cars
no real updates, its been too cold to get anything done. I'm going to get the GT4 hood on there real soon when I have a chance to paint it in some warmer weather.

(can someone move this to the progress section?)

I have to do this soon as well... how hard was it to sand down all the bumps, etc?

I used a random orbital sander with 100 grit to start. Took me about an hour to pull the grills off and sand the top side of the hood. I have some body for I need to do to it so that's going to eat up a lot of my time. If I didn't have to fill any dents I would almost be ready for paint, so it didn't take long with the orbital.
Pics from recently waxing the car and sanding the new hood.





That looks great.
You're just the man I need: I noticed on the last two pictures that you have (temporarily) stock hood combined with GT-4 bumper. Could you, please, take some pictures of how bad the gap is, looking from the "hood side"?
Thanks!

Thanks, KAOS. I guess that that idea is out of window (too much of a gap for me) frown.gif

Nice work man! You should try and snap a shot of the cutoff if you get the chance one night.

UPDATE:

Did some bodywork and painted the GT4 hood. It needs more clear. I ran out, but wanted to get the hood on the car since I needed the old hood latch for something else. I'll get some pics later with a few more coats of clear.

Good stuff. thumbsup.gif

Started to fit the kit.. It needs a little adjustment, some trimming and paint, but here is the mock up. Sorry for the crappy pics. I'll get more today. I'm trying to get the car ready for the meet on the 11th.






I still need to figure out the rear. I'm looking for a zapt rear, with no luck. I've wanted that rear forever. I might just make my own if I have to.
Wow, looking good. Here's a silly question, but how did you change the clock color? I want to do the same to mine, just red.
