A whole lot of fun today, i still hate fibreglassing things. Whos daft idea was it to install a roll cage???? :lol: :lol: the top half of the plastics that frames the window will get flocked, the lower half, after a lot more work will get painted a high gloss black, along with the front door lower sections and the bottom half of the dash, dash inserts will get painted a silver.

Without the 'roll cage' the initial excitement might not have carried you through. OMG, to see her up on tires was a magic moment, at least for me. I hope you are getting lots of photos of WIP to pass along for us 'learners' to emulate.
Everything you post is so appreciated!

But will it pass inspection when you're done?

he is most likely referring to the MOT
It takes 8,460 bolts to assemble an automobile, and one nut to scatter it all over the road.Celica: The name is derived from the Spanish word for "heavenly" or "celestial".Back-2-Back July COTM 15&16
It`ll pass an MOT no worries. The only time you need anything more is if you make a new chassis from scratch.

I wish the rules were like that where I live.
If we change the suspension, we have to get an alignment to show it's still within OEM range and pass a more in-depth inspection.
Welding on the frame is considered a straight up fail.

Luckily we can do more or less what we want to, any suspension, any engine, more or less any modification you want as long as it isn't dangerous and as long as the engine passes emissions then your good to go, a few silly things would mean a fail such as having a sticker on the front screen that is within the wiper arch, or non OEM tinted windows on the front. Exhausts can't be ear bleedingly loud, some garages are stricter than others but interpretation of the rules is pretty open.

A small bit of progress tonight.
Inspired by someone on here I figured its was a good idea to remove the casting marks from the rear lights.
You can see the casting marks.....the dam things always get gunked up with wax polish.
after a rub down with 600 grit wet n dry.
Test fitted to the car along with the rear bumper to check its new duct clears the crash bar

thanks. I always said you can feel the love on 6gc 
Off to Toyota today to order some new brake hard lines, and a few other minor bits n bobs. Not looking forward to it as they will inevitably make purchasing parts as hard as possible.
Deliveries of paint and filler didn't come yesterday so nothing done last night on the interior. I think the next few weeks will be spent just sanding and filling and sanding prepping for a humongous paint day when I will paint the interior plastics and the interior of the shell. But as the weather is getting cold that might have to wait.

Yeah I did that too, and they really polish up nicely. No more ugly numbers! I'm unsure of the legalities but meh. It looks great!

At least in the USA, the housing needs to have a DOT stamp to be "legal"
I'm not even sure the JDM tail lights even have that stamp.

No they dont, the only marks on these were "STANLEY" and RPT 826 or something like that
I don't know who Stanley is but I wish he'd stop it.
Ordered new brake lines, and master cylinder overhaul kit so theoretically I could start building up the braking system soon.
Also the plastic filler and plastic primer arrived and some high gloss black.

Stanley is an O.E. manufacturer of automotive lighting assemblies. Or they were, new cars aren't stamped like old ones.

A simple update today, other things going on too but another win for Bilt hamber Deox C.
The steering column was rusty, dirty and complicated, it also dosnt break down too easily so I thought bugger it, made a bath of deox C up, removed the electrical bits and left it submersed overnight. well today without doing anything else other than dry it with compressed air and a squirt or two with WD40. Came out amazingly well.
Not a very exciting update, sorry.
