well if you guys remember i had my celica demolished in oct of '06 but now that ive finally got a loan its all coming together...

sidemarkers shaved:


the frame is now straight with a new radiator support, yippee. (if you you close you can see that i am absent a CAI. SOMONE SAWED MINE OUT WHILE IT WAS PARKED AT THE SHOP)


and here is my quarter panel, nice and ready to be painted. but how, you may ask, did that get damaged from a front on collision? oh it didnt. after stepping out of my car i kicked it out of anger seeing that my car was obviously totaled. lol i do indeed have a bad temper :-/



i dont have a picture but my hood scoop is molded on to, looks just like the gt-4 hood, woo!


it should be painted by wednesday, my hood hinges should come in from toyota monday so maybe then or wedneday i'll have new pictures and info up...
GAH i cant wait to drive her again, its been almost a year.

also the windshield is out finally. its crazy that the airbags broke it...
the headlights and everything bolts up rather nicely, however just like any body kit bumper its not the best fitment. we put shims behind the lights to prop them up to help close a gap, i'm assuming that will be ok...

actually the manufacturers make the air bag bounce of the windshield then at you, that way it will hit you correct
