    oh yeah i almost forgot, the supra wheels on my little rolla are a 14 with a 60 series tire. I'm going to buy a set of decent yokohamas for it after all is said and done. I also have a 79 Celica Supra rear end that has both the same wheels on it, if you need the center caps i have a few extra. Anyone know if the celica supra rear end will fit under this little beast?

    Ive got the whole front end stripped to bare metal. found quite a few little dents all over but no biggie to fix. There was a spot of rust on the bottom of the drivers fender that the previous owner filled with bondo (Bog). So ive got to cut it out and replace it with a new piece of sheet metal.I also have found a set of seats out of a 2010 Corolla XRS that are black leather with blue stitching and for $50 for the pair i couldnt pass them up. I have to go pick them up from the wreckers on friday once they get them out of the car. I'm sure i'll have to fab up a set of rails for them but thats no big deal. Also i ordered myself a nice set of extractors and a full engine gasket kit, a cometic head gasket and a new timing kit. The head on the 2TC has already been ported and the intake and exhaust tunnels have been polished to a mirror finish. Other than that the engine is totally stock and runs like a champ. I'm still trying to hunt down some weather stripping for the driver and passenger windows because they leak like crazy and i get soaked when going through the car wash lol :doublebird:

    Here are the smoked taillights and polished housings

    Thanks you, i love how they appear to be stock but they also look really awesome. I'm going to pull mine off here pretty soon when i get ready to paint it. I plan on polishing and repainting them. The only down side is i wish they had a bigger offset because when i put my flares in they will look a bit goofy, i might have to get some wheel adapters to push them out a bit.

    Hey guys I'm new here but not to the world of old toyota cars and trucks.My name is Nick and I'm a disabled and retired US Army Scout. I'm married and have a 2 year old son who shares my passion for cars and motorcycles. Ive owned several 4th gen celicas a few mr2s a 89 Camry with a 3sgte swap and a 1979 Celica Supra thats loaded and in amazing shape and a 2010 Corolla S that my wife drives. My daily driver is a 1988 Celica GT4 with 72,XXX mile, its my baby and will most likely be with me till the day i die. I'm in the process of building a 1979 Corolla SR5 Liftback (TE51) that i call Gary lol. The car is in pretty good shape, i am the 3rd owner. The 1st owner was a little old lady who bought it brand new and then she sold it to a high school kid who was going to put it in a demo derby but she made him promise he wouldnt do that so he ended up turning it into a highschool autoshop project and polished the head and repainted the car...badly. Not bad for a highschool kid. The car was originally that nice blue but was repainted a dark navy blue metallic with baby blue flames and racing stripes, a real looker :P after all the body work is done I'm going to pull the motor and replace every gasket and throw a new timing chain and polish up all the aluminium like the valve cover and front engine covers. It seems like i heard that a 1st gen MR2s front struts will fit, is that true? I'd like to upgrade all of the brakes and suspension. The cars lowered 1.5 in. all around but i would like to get her handling and braking better.

    I'm having a hard time trying to find the weather stripping for drivers and passenger windows and I'm trying to locate a new dash pad if anyone knows where i can find these things any help would be appreciated. Heres a few pics of my GT4 and my TE51.
