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.

Well I got closer. I re-pinned it to the Japanese cluster specs and most of it works. There are still a few problems..

-Speedo starts off at 70km/h (is at zero when car is off)
-water temp gauge maxed out
-boost gauge maxed out
-fuel gauge pegged at zero

But, the blue LED's look great as well as the orange LED turn signals.
