Tyler's 6GC Project Options

Hey all, Ever since i got my ST204 I've always wanted to do it up nicely. Since then i have been doing this and that so figured i would put up what I have done so far.

The day i got my car...




First and most important to me is Sound! So getting started on the boot install...






Found a nice cheap donor car to source some parts off of. Pic of my Celica and the new Donor one...


The new hole for the sunroof...




Thanks for taking the time to look
More updates to come

You installed your own sunroof?!
Pretty impressive.

Thanks

Impressive job with the sunroof. Dont think many would even think about taking a saw to the roof of there car.

Thanks also. Yeah when i started and had about 1 foot of cut roof i was like ohhhh ****.... then i had the whole hole in the roof and worry or **** not working kicked in lol.

Of course when i got the sunroof in and done i wired it up for testing and it just made a horrid sound and would move about 3mm lol. I had like a nervous breakdown as i was too keen to do it i didn't even check the working condition of the sunroof *facepalm* Ended up tearing it all down and cleaning all the moving parts and re greased them, put back in still no go....

Took the motor assembly apart and one of the cogs had about 25% of its teeth worn right down so it was stuffed, got some quotes to get one machined up and was looking at $100-$250 mark... So i went on a hunt in my shed and managed to find a perfect fit out of an old remote control car i jsut cut it up a little and retro fitted it.

Works like a charm now

shaved door handles like a hot rod, nice touch.. I guess that's why you installed the sunroof right lol jk

ahahahaha yeah

nah boot will have auto pop and still have key just in case xD
