My ST205 replica, SOLD THE CELI..... Options

[THE20V]

Hi,

Here is the story of my Celica build. My RX8 had just been stolen and my wife was pushing me to just buy a cheap daily for myself. So having a long history with Celica's and ST165's. I thought i'd buy a Celica. So I found this 'Automatic'...yes I know. One owner, old lady Celica. I thought, that had to be a good cheap daily. So I bought it and the thing just snowballed. I'll let the pictures tell the story.

This is a picture of it infront of the lady's house, the day I bought it.



First thing I did was buy GT4 Raiser Blocks.



Then came the 18 Inch Rims



Then came the GT4 bonnet



Then it got lowered 2 inches



Then we did a very bad paintjob on the bonnet at home and got some 17 inch rims, which I think are UGLY.



Then came my final set of 17 inch rims, and a GT4 bumper, because someone at work reversed into me, yeeaaah.



Then came a full respray, and clear indicators, front and side.






Then came the JDM tails.



Then came the tinted windows.





All this happened over a 2 year period. I am pretty happy with the way it looks now. The only things I would love to do, is get some wider tyres and some spacers to give it a nice stance. And also, when the 5SFE dies, I am tossing up between a 3SGTE or the Camry V6 motor.

Any feedback or thoughts, go ahead.

Looks really good! The GT-Four badge is a little cringe-worthy, but visually the car is great.

You know what i'm sick of....inconsiderate mechanics.
After getting my car resprayed I went and got tints put on, the guy leaves a huge chip out of the paint on the edge near the drivers door.
Today I go to pick up my car after having the auto replaced, and I specifically told him to take care of my paint job when I dropped it off.
When I got it back, I found not one, but two beautiful chips out of my NEW paint. One on each guard, on the edge where the guard meets the bonnet, it's obvious he's hit it with some tool. So I call him and confront him about it and he just denies it, what can you do in that situation?

I'm just so sick of people not taking care of other peoples property.
