riko666 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 see, dont know what riko is moaning about then hahaI've got better things to moan about, like global warming and how the price of ice-cream at my favourite ice-cream parlour has gone up, preposterous. And I wasn't the only person to moan about you, I just moaned more than others...I get bored Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Galliano Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 if im honest riko, i did buy it, and if im honest, it was considerably cheaper for a full car that 3 seats and 2 doorcards. £100 later it was sat on my drive and he was far less of a hassle for the car than you were with the parts.engines rather sweet actually, still feels, when being a passenger as it did the day i met rob and the car back in march. just putmy name down for a new carpet and a door handle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Galliano Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Well last weekend, i gave her a damn good polish up, wax, and some nice tyre shine stuff to make them look better than brown. The tyre shine also managed to spruce up the black trim aswell (tested on spares.. bottle says specifically NOT plastic - dumbass)So i started off, a major clean in progress.What she looked like before :After a polishAfter WaxingThen today, I went to a rather large breakers yard in Somerton. Spent most of the day there and only found the Celica accidently almost at the end of the day. Had loads off it... for 15 quid I fitted a couple of bits to the Galliano. Chrome heater control knobs, and the air con button - adds two neat touches to compliment the silver interior BeforeAfterComments and Critisizms welcome. Aircon isnt rigged up to anything, im a bodge guy that way Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 thats imaculae mate, and i like the ac controls, might have a deek at my local brakers for the same as little touches like that are mint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yeah they are worth it, simple but nice The air con buttons dont actually touch the plug behind, and they dont fit in the little hole that snug, but as its not got air con (i just liked the button - matched the heater controls) i just superglued it to a spare unit i had, then just cliped it in, it doesnt look too bad, doesnt look the best either, good for a cheap mod though.Got ... Gearknob, illuminated ignition barrel (well.. so far as the plug), boot lever mechanisms, heater knobs, air con button and a retro cassette player from one all for a tenner, gotta love Cross Keys Breakers in Somerton, about half an hour from me. They dont have any other toyotas there though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 illuminated ignition barrel = winner!!!sam = winner, simply for illuminated ignition barrel!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 I shall get a pic for you It plugs in along the line of around 10cm, so I'm gonna have a ganders this weekend as to how to fit it ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Ok, I fail at keeping secrets, so heres the parts I have lined up.Single din coin holder, need to find a dial surround from Germany/Netherlands so I have two switch holes in it so I can relocate one button to fit this.Boot release catch - silver stickers = smarter look. Good condition too.ILUMINATED IGNITION BARREL.. speaks for itself Jaguar XJ door pins and pin surrounds.. not sure what il do with them, need to find a way of un-screwing them from the feeds first. They were freebies so I can't complain.Leather gearknob. Bit tatty so the next two pictures are going to speak for them selves, so work it out yourself ;);) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Im liking the illuminated ignition barrel, is it off an ep? or another make? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Well there was a celica there with one, and a previa, took it off the previa (well, estima) because the ignition cover and that was removed, easier to get to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Didn't you already have nicer style boot and fuel cap release thingys?If so, shotguns plz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Must go get me one of them when im done at uni....does it have 2/3? wires? worked out how to fit it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Mikey, yeah had a Supra one, but keeping it for my own Paseo The silver of this one works with the interior.Asad, only the one wire that plugs into somewhere on the column, il have a look in a bit ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted May 22, 2009 Author Share Posted May 22, 2009 *Rant*Well.. Just spent the best part of an hour removing the drivers seat, kick plate and moving the carpet back to remove the boot release catch. Removed the catch, unclipped the wires and then attempted fitting the new Celica boot release. Didn't fit right. So I take it out and file away a metal flick from it (I guess it acted as a clip in the Celica) and then tried to fit it again, bolted in, carpet moved back over, lovely, looks nice. Then.. attempt at opening the boot and fuel = fail. The catch doesnt have enough access to pull up so far - the bolt hole is higher up that than the Paseo's standard one, which means it hasn't enough ley-way. PAIN IN THE ASS!!!So I have had to fit the standard one back in, then put the seat and kickplate back in - all a waste of time ( ). I was going to put the Supra one in while I was in the moment, but I couldn't find it and can't remember where I put it.Damn and sodding blast!!*Rant over* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 thats gay man!!!! 10points for effort tho, better luck next time dude!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Bugger. Yesterday while trying to fit that damn thing, I rubbed the sideskirts with my trousers and it rubbed the dirt off.. so I gave her a bath today And I've also bought her something a little bit of a BIG issue when it comes to options. You will have to wait and see what it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
