Car Progress Thread v2.0, Replacing rusted out quarter panel... yay body work. Options

[jcbass7]

Well you've got to start somewhere and this is my second time starting. Nonetheless, the celica's from my past are all part of the story that has led me to this one and finally being able to complete the project I have been dreaming of. They are also contributing a lot of parts and lessons learned to get this car how I want it. I bought this car in September 2010 and will be marking my progress routinely with many pictures.

Here is the baseline. The starting point. The blank Canvas. I'm giving you a full snapshot into its original condition from when I bought it. Flaws and all. This way the you can see the progress it makes as I fix the little details and add the JDM/TRD goodies.

(A good read if you are bored at work, lots of parts, pics, problems and even a fire)

I just gotta say good luck with everything!

On a side note, what's up with you and '94's? lmao

I wonder that myself sometimes

I choose 94' or 95' over the later years because they are ODB1 and easier to pass emissions/inspections in MA. The newer the car, the more laws regarding what you can do to it. Somehow I just kept ending up with Celica's. One to drive, one to work on and one to use as a parts car, sell/junk one and the cycle repeats.
