Hehe, Well..... Lets start.

First of all, who aint know yet, me and Edo (Link to his profile >>>) where contacting eatch other about 2 years now. He helped me alot, i did the same. We live about 1700 miles away from eatch other (he's italian), but we talked alot on phone and etc. So....

The deal is - Edo, was going to fix his car from the accident hes got, and he wanted full repaint. In italy they charge about 2500 euros (2800$) for full repaint with color change. So i offerend him my help, and aranged everything here for a full repaint with color change a LOOOOOooooot cheaper

I aranged the truck (my friend buys cars from Italy, so he helped me with bringing Edos car here), and after 5 days of waiting i drove his car home




From the first look, there wasnt too much wokr on his car... But... after some further examination.. i found Waaaayyyyyy too much things to do before it goes to paint shop.. Here it is, the damage and things need to be fixed:

Fender..... Out of shape - compleatly, the whole shape is made out of Bondo... What the hell do goys thought then they fix it? The metal is not even straighted, the dents are all letf and instead of hamerring the metal out to the place they fixed it with bondo.....



Bumper, needed a bit of heat gun, and soldering gun And after 30 min it was just like new



Driver side fender... it looked just like not a big dent.... hmmm, till i started to hamer it... It seemed like both fenders had a big damage, but instead of shaping metal to its original pl;ace, the guys who fixed car before, go the fender shape outt of bondo, with offcorse started to crack....



Side skirts - Going Custom Baby I will make my own style of sides for him anyway, so what ever the damage is - i dont care



Interior.... Who ever painted this - deserves to be shoot. Wiring... Oh man Edo, you know what i thought I will rewire everything, and mount the Profec E01 to the shifter trim, so it will be NO wires all around, and everything will be safe and clear




Well, enouth ox examinations...... Lets start works

After about hour, his car looked like this... Hood was open, and works where fully began.



30 min later - both fenders are out of the car, waiting till i remove whole bondo from them, sand them till bare metal, and then hammer them to the original shape.

you my sir are a legend.
I wish you could do a bit better write up into an artical for the bodykit. Specificly working with the fiberglass (cutting the vents and stuff)

Also looking at the picture of the rear of the car at the top of the page. I think the celica is gorgeous without the wing. Is there any rear bodykit or anything changed about the car in that shot? Lights, Lowered etc. It just looks so good.

I'll keep those JDMs light, the only thing I'll do is to remove the orange bulb cover inside the light once my car will be back home
As for the rear nothin will change except the N1 style single muffler
That's it
