FARK YEAH that is mad progress man how long did it take you to get it to that stage man, not a big fan of 18's under the guards they just look way to big for the car but it's yours not mine so yeah i'll shut up now

Thanks mate took 2 years to get to this stage lol as i have done everything myself was only suspose to take 4 months max but had so many problems with the body and had to redo things like 2 3 times ova coz was tryin to rush it and just wasnt happy with it.

Yea not many people are a fan on the rims but i always luv big rims and dropped on the ass cars mayb they will look alil better when i clean and paint them black and polish the spokes

My other project is a ae82 hatch and i put 20's on that so yea just like big rims i guess

but this project was just suspose to be a sorta daily but realised how much work had to be done might aswel put alil more effort and add extras

very impressive work can't wait see pics when all finnished

only 2 years? to me for this amount of work is very quick indeed. This is a really interesting project and when I read chop roof off and put another on one I was thinking WTF!? your dedicated I tell you that.

 

So whats the plans from here? Also how does the air bag compressor get its motion from? is it mounted on the engine or is it electric? Future plans?

 

As time goes on I am having more and more respect for the early celica guys as the seem to be interested and prepared to have something nice and functional even if it does means spending some money. Much unlike another certain group of car guys who seem to all to eager to hap-hazardly "upgrade" their cars suspension and engine with the least amount of cash so they can slide their cars sideways into something solid.

hell yea i love this project been working on my own celica now since October last year and well i am satisfied at the way its turning out but i don't have a huge timeline kinda need it done within this year lol

hey I forgot to ask, what model T series diff is that

Thanks guys yea alot of work has gone into this baby pics can't really tell the work i have done most of it body wise the was alot of rust and every panel had something wrong with it.

But in my eyes all the money and time will be well worth it.

The old guy i brought it off said it ran a 12.9 down the qauter before he rebuild it not sure about this but i know the thing pulls hard and gotta luv the locker diff sideways for the win as u can see in the video at the top slides pretty easy

tho it aint a drag car its got balls and should be alot of fun on the street

compressor is electric got the kit from the USA as a plug in n play kit

As for plans mayb a supercharger on the cards,also gunna try n get it lower,waitin on custom gauges and yea basically once its done crusie it take it to some shows and just have some fun

Not sure what series the diff is had alot of problem tryin to find out what the old rotors where off as when i got it 1 side was completly smashed and had to get new slotted 1's

But yea this is my first celica and neva really knew much about them i could tell u everything of say a 13b or a 4age but yea I'm mainly just a bodywork/alrounder sort of guy just give anything a go don't look much into it

I might be able to help you with a rack and pinion steering conversion in the future too. I also am still learning about the T engines, I found there is a lot ot be gained after I ported one for a friend. I see no way that your friend was doing anything but severly exagerating though, I think high 14s would be more likely.

yea i may be intressed later on

yea i doubt it as well mayb if it was turbo but yea the guy i brought it off was like 50 odd and thats what he said but yea 14 would be more correct mayb a 15 now with all this weight added and the airbag set-up ;)

i wanna get it on the dyno soon just for abit of fun probarly will wait for the next toymods dyno day 100kw be about right u reckon? not sure what they pull out stock

anythign from 60 to 140kw depends on the dyno, some are very generous

dammm thats some mother humping bad ass machine dude!@ well done looking great!

I think i made a mess in my pants :wink: Years back i had 2 ta22's, and this is pretty much exactly what i had planned for it, same colour too. Really nice work man.

so any updates mate

amazing b4 and after pics. body work looks top notch

 

Q in some of the earlier pics theres an intercooler.... no turbo set-up?

 

Cheers
