Haha yeah wish I didn't have to go through the dealer to get the front badge, so expensive at least it's shiny though! Well not anymore because it's plasti dipped

And I meant just remove the badges that say "Toyota Celica", not the actual Toyota logo, I like the way it looks with just the logo in the middle

Haha, thats cool..

In the meantime I've seen the I love my Celica sticker that has the Gen 7 Outline, done search and didnt find one with the 6th
So I went to create my own



Turned out pretty well
Still needs some work refining some sharp edges

Pretty sure Silly97 made a batch of those not too long ago (the I<3mycelica and third brake light vinyl s)

Yeah he did. I bought the third brake light vinyl off him and it looks awesome

>
So did I, waiting to get a clear lens though before I put it on

I Contacted Silly97 and there isn't any anymore, So I'll just be touching up mine..

I also prefer the cursive Celica break light


Also Timmyface has taught me some photography and Photoshop tricks
not bad for first attempt haha

Met up with a 5th gen

Got riser blocks on their way thanks to Josh
Gonna need some work on them

>
Oooh they're not replicas

Thing have been quiet lately, however I have 2 things to update..

Anyone who has seen my topic on the exterior thread knows I've run into some trouble with the spoiler blocks, however they are making progress and are very close to be done

I drove around spoilerless for a few days (until I saw raining coming and put original spoiler back on)

blocks are filled and primed, now I am just weatherproofing the bottom with some rubber and sealant,
fits the car no problems they just need to be mounted


Today I was just about to continue work on risers, I decided to check local Junkyard list and saw that a new celica was in! It also had sideskirts
I rushed over and surely they were there!
I started removing and once one was off..
The amount of dirt that fell out of was unbelievable!


The drivers side one was slightly bent from the rims that held the car up, however I managed to remove it and fixing it will be easy..

I got home, I was too excited and tried fitment on my car.
Help up courtesy of 2 rocks


I then washed and cleaned them


Pretty happy about them. I've been scouring yards for celica parts and as hard as it is to find a celica in a yard, sideskirts are even harder because either the car is a different trim model, the car is completely neglected and the skirts are broken/cracked all over or the junkyard doesn't care and break them when moving the car into the yard. Overall.. great purchase for $60 and another project for me to do

Also! New gear knob!

^^ that knob broke and faded in 2 days.. it was awful, learn my lesson on why not to buy cheap fake ones..

In other news..
There is a BIG update coming very very soon!

And by BIG, he means >>>>BIG!!!>>>>

Can't wait for this >>>>HUGE>>>> update!

Must be an engine swap then.

haha I wish!

BIG update is here! (sorta)

I took photos while I was installing and it was getting dark so all I have for now is phone pics

I plan to go out and have a nice photoshoot sometime this week

So, A rather large package arrived at my door only after 4 days it shipped from japan

it consisted of front splitters, (however the condition of them wasn't as great as thought, no big problem, just gonna require more effort to fix them up, so they aren't going on the car for a while)

And as resistant I was to rear splitters Josh sent me them anyway lol and suggested to just 'try' them on and see how I feel.

And.. well I do like them, so they are staying


and now the >>BIG!!>> part,

PROJECTORS!!



Yup, they finally happened




So shiny
best purchase ever!
Installation was fairly straight forward and I think it enhances the cars look greatly

More photos to come later during the week
I need some rest haha

also: I got a new grille and I've hid the foglights behind the grille so the mesh in there will look more 'flush' with the bumper

Gonna update this since it hasn't been updated in a while

Quite a few things have happened and I have a lot more things that I have in the garage that need to happen!

Not going to write it all now, but will update it all tomorrow hopefully

Ok!! Update time!!

Been a bit lazy with keeping this up to date so lets get started --

I got my strut bar in, but the way my sub was set up, the bar couldn't fit so I went down to my hardware store and got a piece of wood and cut it to shape so I can lay down the sub and fit the bar,
Then I tidied my boot up



I went back to finishing my Raiser blocks, the bottom piece was missing so I got creative and made my own mounts


Then proceeded to paint and weatherproof the bottom, this is everything that went into it


pretty much ready to install



And Finished!! First photo after they were on



Only about 2 days after the spoiler, I reached in my passenger side to find it basically filled with water from a leak somewhere, I ripped the passenger side apart and couldn't find the cause, because water was everywhere. ....... Eventually it was found out that the windscreen sealant had completely come apart on the passanger side so off I went to get a new windscreen



I always love spotting other 6gc's and taking photos with them


6gc's aren't the most common sight where I live, but i was pretty surprised to see one when my girlfriend and I drove about 2 hours up to see snow in the mountains and behold, there was one



I then got clear turns finally! the last piece of the puzzle for my clear turn singals


I also got a set of TEIN lowering springs from rentaspace, but i am holding out on the install, till i get around to buying some new shocks along with it.

After this it was pretty much quiet for a while as I was back at uni and it was keeping me busy, however I notcied 2 new celicas showed up at my local wrecker so I went to check them out and found that the first one had a white cluster, and I thought why the heck not, ill grab it, put some contrast in my dash


Also ordered some carbon fibre wrap and its on its way, hoping to spice up my dash a bit since I find it a bit plain

The other Celica however! At first I didnt notice, but it was a personal import from Japan, it was in serious rough shape and didn't have much to offer so I was about to leave it, until I noticed it had Power Folding Mirrors!
Then i spent the next 2 or 3 so hours taking apart the whole interior and try to get as much wiring out as possible
Not bad for 50 bucks


That is pretty much up to date..
I got plenty of things in my garage waiting to be worked on, so I got plenty of things to keep me busy (not only uni)

I will most likely start work on the sideskirts, which have been laying around since about april now, then do the front splitters,
But the mirrors are so tempting to work on , might do those first

Hope you enjoyed my update

Oh dar. You I've been looking cor that middle white speedometer face gauge for the longest time. Nice updates

Mate the car looks freaking awesome! i love it! and honestly wouldn't mind a white gauge cluster haha

>

That'll come with the BEAMS engine, don't worry

Ok so, I have been busy with university lately, but this week I have off and I decided to start working on the things that have been waiting in the garage for me

There is a car show I would like to attend on Sunday so today I am starting

>>Tj's 6 Day Overhaul>>

>>Day One of Six>>

So my first day off began as setting up the garage as my workshop for the following days to be ready to work for Front SSIII splitters, OEM skirts, JDM Folding mirrors, and Carbon Fibre wrap for interior bits,
It was pretty damn cold outside so I even put a heater up for me


I first started on the splitters, how ever the photo that I thought I bought was a bit different from arrived


The bottom was completely cracked and scratched up and held together by flimsy zipties..


Doesn't matter.. went out and bought supplies and started applying a fibreglass repair kit for the splitters, pretty straight forward except I only applied on the back and stupid me should have applied some resin in the crack aswell..
Will make some more resin tomorrow and fill the crack


While waiting for the resin to dry (before I realized I forgot the crack) I started to work on the mirrors and curious me wanted to open up the motor and take it apart, (Also because i chewed the screws for this mirror and I thought there was a way to see on the other side how far to drill)... then i forgot how to put it back together


I started late today.. and its getting too late tonight so this is my wrap up for Day One..
Big mess left on the table lol



Hope to get much more done tomorrow and put the mirror back together haha,
Stay tuned for Day Two

FINALLY!

What about today's progress? o.O
