Primed the chin spoiler and mounted it , also fitted the fender mirrors for a photo Also here's a pic of how high it sits Will lower it a little more once I get some wheels for it This is the height I'm aiming for

thanks for that mate will have to give that a crack

Front chin spoiler arrived

Here is a look at the paint Also painted the boot and engine bay Just a quick paint job under bonnet will repaint one day if the motor ever comes out ...

Thanks guys, no Adam have not brought anymore celicas since this one ...for now haha , hopefully the colour isn't too dark doogs , looks very similar to the Toyota 86 grey , going to go for a red gt stripe to add some highlights to the gretly

,ok update time . got a bit more done ..... car is now mostly in primer just trying to get everything perfect before i paint the base coat on ... also got the freshly restored hotwires on the ra28

yeah i think we may have an addiction rob :P , between dad and i more then 17 i think hahah

more photos !! some rust in the doors yay more stuff to fix the other ra23

so work begin within minutes on the grey car ! started stripping to get rid of the rust and dents . ][/size] even using Japanese newspaper fixing rust in sills and a skim of bog to get them perfect after welding . bit sad to see the rust had been filled with bog and painted over :/ so had to pull that all out and weld in some steel. also got a rear bob tail spoiler off ian which sets the rear end off nicely ! took a day off working on the car to go to classic japan ! heres dads rally car with the gt grill so spent about 3 weeks on the car getting it ready for primer will be painting the car a AMG Mercedes colour known as tenorite grey so that brings us up to date , have found a rear gt badge and gear knob just need a front gt grill now !

thought i might as well start a build on the newest celica to the collection... spotted it on ebay , turns out it was 5 minutes from home so a short drive over to the guys place to suss the car out , turns out he has had it for the last 16 years and it was his first car . The car has a rebuilt 18rg in it running on 45mm webers and running very sweet ! photos of the car when we got it notice race seat , was used for some hill climb

been slack and haven't had a chance to update this build thread ..... after blocking the car back painted it very bright red !! back on wheels and trims going back on

deleted antenna in high build primer !

recovered cracked dashboard in black suede sanding the body in prep for paint ! painted bonnet black ! for the classic look 18rg being assembled with : 9.7:1 early pistons 88230 early cams (higher lift ) 40mm webers extractors
