Tom's ST-II ?, ST bumper + GT Four hood + Tom's lip + more HP's? Options

[Urputus]

I was thinking about some modifications of the exterior of my facelifted ST since PECM 2007, which was a great inspiration to me. First I wanted to add a Tom's lip, but it wasn't easy to get one to Czech republic, …an original one. Then I saw the making of Malpaso’s SS-Four and realized that just Tom’s lip would not be enough for me . So I asked Malpaso to help me finding a solution, where I can use the parts I already have and create something unique.

The final idea was presented in this topic for the first time. Just to recall what's going to happen to the car:
- the ST/GT bumper will stay untouched;
- shave the gap in front of the GT-Four hood to fit ST/GT bumper;
- use OEM JDM-dealers option front lip (well known as TOM'S lip);
- use OEM Euro-dealers option rear lip;
- use OEM side skirts;
- and may be change of paint color.

I was wandering how to name this project. Martin used the name GT-II, but I'm afraid that this name was already used by some guy in Croatia? As I don't know this for sure, let's make it Tom's GT-II (without the smile of course )

In the first phase of the project most of the interior parts were dismantled before we went to bodyman. Only the dashboard, steering wheel and front seats were left in the car. Here are some pictures from the projects “first hour”:








In the second phase the hood will be modified to fit the ST/GT front bumper and there is some necessary work on other parts of the car – to prevent rust, repair some dents etc. This will happen within next two weeks. I hope I get some pictures from the bodyman so we don't have to wait two weeks for the progress .

Hello folks!

After nearly one year (without one day ) I started a 5th phase of my project. I think that this would be the last design upgrade of my Celi so I hope you will enjoy it. To the details - I was dreaming about TRD rear wing for longer time and now I can say that I have one piece It came from Japan and as you can see, it was wery well packed.





It is in pretty good condition so no serious bodywork on the wing is necessary. Only the holes in the trunk lid did not fit the screws of the TRD wing, so it was necessary to drill new holes and to cover the old ones. The new holes are drilled yet and I hope the painting will not take too long






As I didn't want to leave my car in the paintshop I left without the trunk lid, like this Only once we had to stop because the cover could not stand the presure and it cracked. It wasn't good as it cracked on the highway, but nothing what we couldn't fix with a tape



To be continued ...
