Mate seriously I think it looks lovely

Love a build thread! Just noticed this great work and a great write up for me it's the build threads that make the forum so shall be looking forward to updates

Absolutely lovely mate what's the plans keeping it factory fresh? Or a weekend toy

Great news mate progress, I've an old toad alarm that's been on since new, had a issue on different car where the cobra alarm played havoc with the immobiliser

Thanks alot lads I'm trying not to cut corners at all, the only one I've compromised with is budget tyres to get to the test centre in July as really had no idea how it would get on being stood for so long they are getting changed in January when it's off for bodywork can't belive how times flown started it back in March

any pics of how it sits i had mine really low at one point the old springs had sagged so much over 10 years the tyres (45 profile) was in the front arch it looked good but my word it drove like shit

take them to a tyre fitter mate mine did this all time they grinded the inner bit never had a issue since

That is actually the original dealer plate from new i ought to remove it really for safe keeping

Test fitted them look well tbh there isn't that much I can do with them condition is really good may just seal them as is

That's the one mate even met me at a convenient place for me

worth more than the headlight but yeah they will be going on need new rubber pads but ive measured them and sourced some replacements

Well since its Friday and we can't go out I bought some oem optional goodies bit of a impulse buy saw them on a car on ebay rang up asking if I could buy them off him and came to a deal

Good progress Sam... I also can't stop buying parts

yeah they do i may go up to 50s next time

So annoying but sometimes gotta be done mate all be sorted keep up the good work

wow i turned one down for 30 quid years ago

looking good Che what profile are your tyres they fill the arches really well

We need pics when it arrives what colour did you decide on?

You know we needs pics

Tbh I don't think they will notice its a glanza wheel as its the same 3 spoke design as the SR just leather bet half the techs never even seen one

After successfully sealing the drivers side headlamp a few months ago I decided to tackle the passenger side today steps first remove indicator then reach under the headlight and push the black clip down and pull with force then repeat on the grill side you can see this clip don't be afraid of giving in decent amount of force as you pull the headlight towards you remove the two clips be carful not to chip the glass heat up with a hair dryer then split they are not sealed as such but use a rubber gasket This time round the gasket was in a much worse state than the other so I used some sea

Thankyou still loads to do but yeah its nice to still have it

Nice good to see progress like the black look stevie82 gone the same route nice black splitter and side strips would compliment them a treat

My celica does this when it's been sat a while always has

Always liked these especially the tourer still look good today how reliable has it been
