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)

more fun.. so the trunk popper came with a button that I think is obnoxious.. so I found this lexus one and snagged it.



I'm going to find a small solenoid and get the gas lid to pop via button as well. It seems simple enough. I also plan on mounting this switch where the stock window lock button is on the door controls. To safe guard from accidentally driving around with the gas lid open, I plan on wiring in a door ajar switch type deal on the gas lid and have it illuminate the gas warning light on the dash. This will tell me the door is open in case I hit the button while driving.

These are all plans at the moment, but the trunk part should be set up with minimal problems. I'll keep you posted.
