Ok, Im going to step up to the plate and send Usafiberglass drawings/money/invader front end to get this project going thursday. This is going to be a one-off project. If you want a front end you got to let me know so a mold can be made. You also got to be able to purchase it soon. Looks like usafiberglass split up, but Im in contact with the fabricators who have started their own shop in riverside. By sending and using a vader front end, it keeps me from having to leave a car their for measurements and we know the vader front end fits. I like the last picture wannabegt4 made in the other post, and I will send that pic in with the original ones I posted. Im also sending fuzion hood pics(do a search on ebay) because they can make those cool ass hood scoops to mold in to my car. So lets do this, I need a kit badly, and the vader aint cutting it.

Guys I agree with the motion that the celica has curves. I think its got the sexiest sides any car you can ask for. Thats why i still have not bought any sideskirts yet. The pakfeifer sides are just wrong, and I have yet to find any side skirts I like for this car. I like both the porsche and noble m14, but Im also looking at the edonis front end. I also like the front end of the 2000 acura usafiberglass made a kit for. I like the M14, but its a square kit. Not a problem Lets round the sides to make it follow the celica curves. Im also looking at the edonis front end. Im on rapidcars.com looking at interiors and body styles for different ideals.
Now you guys are taking the drawings as bible. They are not. They are basically starting ideals Im going to show the fabricator to see what he can do with them. Square bodies can easily get a rounded shape to them. So lets not get all hyped up about these photos. I figured we were not all going to agree, so this is a one-off project for me. I believe the celica has potential to look like a wide-bodied supercar. Im personally not into the gt-4 look. Sorry but thats my opinion. Its like I have the finnished picture in my head of the car I want to build. The problem with the group buy I had at the beginning was that I wanted a wide body rear end. Theres 95% hatchbacks hereon this site, so with me being a coup, Im out of luck. The bodys are 2 different. I knew this was going to happen, so thats why lets just make this a custom project for me. You guys can get the group buy going, Ill help anyway i can, would love to see all the ideals and doggys sketches. Also has anybody noticed that the mercedes Cl500(ithink thats the model) has the exact same sides as the celica? hmmmm aftermarket sideskirts???? Im sending in money to buy a new vader front end, so the can use the headlight part and sides as a starting point. This is for my project. Im kind of leaning towards the custom acura front end they made, but Im still looking at ideals. This is for the front clip only. I bought the pakfiefer rear end yesterday of their website, and found the tailights rom a kitcar car company that are going to be molded. So to recap here guys, no hate, but Im going after a new look, I know its possible. I can see the finished result in my head. ![]() |
