QUOTE (my3awds @ Aug 14, 2011 - 11:28 PM)  QUOTE (nics @ Aug 14, 2011 - 10:25 PM) Your Evo V look good! Did you import this or built from a Mirage??  Thanks nic! It's both, technically. You can't legally (federally) drive an imported one in the states (unless you're military). Everyone has their own way of registering/insuring. I chose the route of importing then transferring everything over to keep my Vins. Thankfully the rear floor pan shares the same spot welds between the two. So I meticulously transferred everything over, to keep an oem build. I wouldn't do it if I had to fab something up like the pan, gas tank, mounting points, etc. It's just not the same, no matter how good an individual is at fabing I feel. You can see the summary of the build here: http://youtu.be/G6MKjoi4t2I?hd=1 My STI started the same way, as the base model and building up after importing. This build was way easier (no floor transferring). http://youtu.be/Ct4-C40AzOo?hd=1 Re-watching these makes me tempted to do the same with this 6g since it would be just as simple as the Evo. But I can't if I intend on still getting the R32. My wife would kill me no doubt. Awesome Build  So are you building up the gt-four front for the celica? Can't wait to see that happen! -------------------- God made man....

Wow! I thought the Mirage looked similar to the old Evo. I guess it has the same chassis then huh? That's pretty amazing, what you've done with those two. If you're keeping this a DD, don't get too excited hahaha. Keep with the VIP status.

Heh thanks enderswift. chacha I don't do body work, so can't help ya with your project unfortunatly. Polishing up the body was just some training I picked up off of the school of youtube lol. Without youtube and forums like these, I swear I wouldn't have the cars I have (had).

Nice project and you did same thing on EVO and STI as i am doing with
Beams SS3 project. Goal is to look 100% oem but difference is i am doing RHD as i want entire project to be plug and play so to speak. I already have a st205 so that is why decided to build a SS3 After 20yrs of modding Imports SS3 is my final major build(for now) -------------------- Old guy with the toys

Nice Forgmann. You are the type of person that understands my builds then heh. Look forward to seeing you complete your project SS3.
Replaced the airbags and ripped shift boot, so the interior is looking worlds better and almost complete. Replaced my exhaust with something I've always wanted to have on a black car. Carbon with blue tip look. It looks as good as I imagined.        -------------------- --------------------------------------------------------

That exhaust does look good indeed. Some different wheels? Man, makes me wish I had a manual.

I've seen your videos before and i loved them. I was happy to see a st185 in them also.
Seems like you'll make this celica into a just as good looking car as your other two. -------------------- 2nd Gen 3s-gte.... It lives!

I managed to get the seats updated. The driver side of the original seats were sooo badly torn. You would think people know how to get in and out of the car without constantly rubbing on the seat to the point of tearing! The new ones need a good cleaning, but just got excited to take a pic.

Thanks all. Oddly enough I like the 4post wheel on this daily driver. But if I come across an affordable 3post I may consider it. Went to the yard today and I'm glad I did. Found a Celica Limited so took what I could. I almost bought the seats as well since it has the nicely printed "Celica" on the seats...but I couldn't do it. Not after the seats I JUST bought. Any way, small update on what I snagged:
