I appreciate this new-born section called "My project". I would never have posted my car's topic anywhere else but here, because here is the only place where you can show the other people your car even if it's bone-stock or heavily rusted... it's your car, so it has the "rights" to be here, whatever you've done, are doing or are going to do to it.
Based on that thought, I'm gonna climb down from my banana-tree, hold my breath for a couple of seconds and then proceed to choose some pictures and type a short story about my Celica. DON'T EXPECT TO READ/SEE ANYTHING SPECIAL. Here we go: http://img443.imageshack.us/i/04092008557.jpg/ To be continued tomorrow (I hate this upload method...). -------------------- ![]() |

...back to what I've done so far:
Interior: new upholstery, blue and black artificial leather; home-taylored blue carpets (including trunk and two subwoofer enclosures that I don't own anymore); new Sparco pedals and footrest; used MOMO steering wheel (it needs a new "coat"); Pioneer FH-P80BT doubleDIN headunit; 3 way Hertz speakers (200mm/70mm/20mm, 150w rms) with home-made mounts for midrange drivers and tweeters; 5gc headrests: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That light-blue paint from the dashboard is gone now, I've replaced it with silver paint but it won't stay that way for too long: ![]() ![]() Plans for the interior are simple, but very expensive: beige/black leather interior and real aluminium trim. The second part is not very difficult to accomplish, I'll show you the results and the step-by-step operation. If it doesn't work out the way I think it will, I'll wrap every trim piece in real carbon fiber and that's it. Another little project I'm working on is a car PC. So far I've bought: -the enclosure (MiniITX M350) -the motherboard (Gigabyte GA-D525TUD with an Intel Atom DualCore 1.8 ghz processor and two ddr3 ram slots) -two ddr3 memory modules, 2Gb each -one 2.5" 500Gb hdd. To make it work, I need to buy an M3-ATX power source and ... a VGA monitor. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I'll continue with the wheels I had before, the wheels I have right now and a couple of more little things. -------------------- ![]() |
