Paul, I have seen some of your interior, and I have to say I am vey impressed. The supra was completely
mind-blowing. I want the same setup, but I can get rid of my ac unit and vents due to the heat out here. |

I have gone through many body changes, and doing one last rebody. Theres a cable that connects to the ac unit as well as the eclectrical plugs. I got to take a pic and show you. We got to have the same ac unit. Im just curious where you got a longer cable. I think its the cable that slides the knob from red to blue. |

Like the location of the fuel cap. I seen in a import magazine this celica's fuel cap was behind the drivers side tail light. The tail light opened from the turn side and slid around and the gas cap was right behind it.. it was pretty tight.

Dude, you are making one big mistake preparing the car for a paint job not even reasembling it..... I cant even look... If you want a quality job done - remove EVERYTHING (yes EVERYTHING) out from the body, and cut the damn rear windows, cuz Clearcoat after paintjob will start to peal off after time cuz there is no chance to make the paintjob perfect around the windows area... And these word go from a man who repainted his car 4 times, and did 2 full paintjobs on other 2 celicas.....
Everything else is quite unique  -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

Car cannot be completely stripped as we are having to work on it around paying customers and sometimes it has to live outside... however it will be totally stripped prior to paint... i want to build the car up so i can definately make sure i have the look right then it'll be stripped and prepped for paint...

Filler cap is just an off the shelf motorsport cap with a 90 degree bend pipe on other side and a custom fuel pipe is being fabricated that will then go through boot floor and connect to tank.... not a mod that alot of people are gonna do as you are left with no boot space but as we are filling the boot with audio anyway we weren't that concerned

Still no pics yet...
I can tell you that the car will have no air con, no heating system, no washer bottle or windscreen wipers, no sunroof, no side windows and possibly no steering wheel:) Made a decision to build a car with no compromise which also means that it isn't gonna be able to pass our MOT test laws so she will be purely a show piece Paul |

Fair comment....
Problem i'm up against is that i own a company that specialise in doing this... thus if i do just an off the shelf bodykit and stock interior then my company will be judged on that... The car was always going to be an excercise in how far we could push ourselves, unfortunately some of the technical mods we want to do will mean it'll never be road legal... Expect the next car we build to be fully road legal as this one will have proved its point... and showed what a great flexible car the gen 6 is... At the minute we plan to fabricate everything so it should turn out pretty unique... Anybody want anymore info on anything they see on the car just pm me and i'll be happy to tell you how to do it Paul www.audio-one.co.uk |

The piece you circled will all be contoured and smoothed to match as no side glass will be put back in...
Rear window is still in tailgate... all windows are bonded in so its a case of feeding a wire through the bond and slicing through the bonding... Paul www.audio-one.co.uk |

Do you plan on rienforcing the car after removing the b pillar? if not I hope you dont plan on driving it on the road. That is really sacrificing the integrity of the car in a roll over or side impact. The car will crumble like a piece of paper supported only by the a and c pillars

How did you get Mexicans all the way to England?
Just kidding, guys. Anyway, that is some awesome work you got there. Just seeing the pictures, I got overwhelmed. That is beyond anything custom I have ever seen. I wish you luck in that project. Saddens me that it will not be street legal. I mean, who could own a masterpiece and not be able to drive it? That's why mine is staying street legal. Anyway, that dash threw me off a lot...hopefully in your next pictures, I can see more light, hehe.
