6G Celicas Forums

Dudes, you all rock,
I appreciate your comments its keeping me motivated, not that playing Santa isnt but...
Were also in the process of moving before xmas. Thats its own story.

Pics soon to come, I havent been able to sneak over to it in day light yet.

oo couple quick questions as I start the hood...

its raw metal never painted, with 6 mos or more of rain and rush spots popin up..

Wet sand or Dry? I picked up 220grain and 800g sand papers appropriate?


ty much
well met and thanks!
cant wait to meet you all.

Hi all,

So I aquired a 94' Celica St Lift back, has a new motor in it and a new front end.
Alot of cosmetic trouble, dents in every corner, and a new hood that the forest got to before paint.


My challenge to get this baby on the road and driving by Xmas so i can sneek it up to the house on Eve n put a bow on it.

The Hood- Im sanding tomorrow after I take it off the car, and hopefully priming it, then shooting it black as a temp.
The Front Bumper/Headlight cabin- New, installed, also not painted.. Dare I try to mask on the car and shoot it too? How hard is it to put back on after I take it off (ya me n body work are monkey and a football)
The Rear Bumber corners both dented, looked like I might be able to pop one out easy the other well see.

Desperate to find, a driverside headlight assembly. Tis smashed in and broken, left front quater panel was new too, its damged, I might be able to pull n pop it,

So over all, I needed to get this as it has a new motor and a heater with defroster, my gals acura had neither heater nor defroster.. not great
Did I mention we have a 7 mos old son? William aka Billy. Thus,, I needed a better car for them..

When I got it it had 2 14" rims on the front with 185/70/14's and 2 spare donuts on the back.
Thanks to CL and a kind man I aquired 4 16" wheels with 205/50/16's , 5 x 100 so fun to try to find lol.

Up to now she runs great, looks rough, wheels helped alot even industrial steelies.
And I have a large back of sand paper, primer, paint, tail light bulbs, wiper blades etc....

Tips, suggestions, resources, parts, cheering are all welcome.

I can see this is the beginning of a long fun project.
