good work mike! looks like a good time. make sure u send me some pics b4 u junk it! lol

now time to start cleanin up the motor! i can help you with that too bro, i can help paint some of the parts for you in my garage, my dads got a paint bench and everythin u need to clean it up, let me kno broo!

I'm going to! lol
and that would be awesome man! I appreciate it!

bye, bye carrr.

lol i was there for that.. well seen it leave

yeahh haha
i still have a sh!t ton of more pictures to upload, just been lazyy

damn mike...the quarters look clean...should have cut them out!
quarter windows too!!
ahh well, there is always the next one!! haha...trust me...there WILL be a "next" one...dispite what you may think right now...there is ALWAYS another one...

wait a minute... are those rear disks?!

Well the quarter panel that I need was all rusted on the inside cause the antenna drain line was just hanging
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.

I'm kicking myself for not asking about the passenger side rear quarter panel...

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
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.



I have another one that I'm going to be parting out in the spring

YAY!

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
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

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
