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.

Here is the progress thread for my first build a few years back.. Learned a lot on that project:

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

Well I contacted prosport and it looks like they made a change to their gauges about a year ago. So my old style ext temp gauge is only blue and cannot turn white at all, and the old ones have slightly less powerful LED's as well (as seen below). So for now I'll keep the blue all the time set up, but eventually I will upgrade so that I can have both gauges go white during the day.



Also I found a picture of the switches in a stock BMW


I need to figure out how they turn on and off. There is a high and low setting on the switch, but no off position like the toggle Toyota seat heater switches Dustin has. From what I gathered, the wiring on the back of the switch is as follows:

Wire
1: illumination +
2: Power (Hi?)
3: Power (Low?)
4: Ground (Illumintaion -)
5: Heat Pad Back
6: Heat Pad Seat

So this might be more interesting than I thought to get it to wire up correctly, but I'll make it work.
