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.

As a coupe owner I'm bias, but either way i know this car will turn out a beast especially with the 3s under there, what happened to getting a GT4 from Canada? did that ever work out?

I looked into it and even contacted some of the importers in Canada. There is still a lot of red-tape, and I ended up buying the vette with the money I would have done it with. So that axed that idea. I'll just do my best to build one (eventually). Starting small... like TRD radiator cap small haha

Are you selling your OEM head unit?

sorry I am not selling the oem unit
