[tonytutino]

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.

driver's airbag should come straight out. I think the way the passenger side airbag is angled though that it would prbably break the windsheild.

it only takes 2/10 of a second for an airbag to inflate and it comes at you at about 200 mph... thing is, it is designed to fully inflate and then start to deflate by the time your head hits it.
