crazy! i would love to have a car like yours! here in canada, people dont find RHD very attractive. i didnt know it would be different in USA. if you had a LHD GT-Four up here, everyone would love it! RHD supras, skylines get bashed all the time at car shows.

Yes I made templates and was thinking about making a couple of sets if anybody is interested. I've been doing custom automotive fabrication for over 10 years. As far as my toaster is doing great unlike the last one that caught on fire and burnt my hand so I threw it outside and smashed the crap out of it!

As far as my toaster is doing great unlike the last one that caught on fire and burnt my hand so I threw it outside and smashed the crap out of it! PM me about the crossmembers. im TOTALLY down for a set. i think its pretty fair to say the whole 6gc community has been waiting for someone like you to set up and do this. this brings the "possibility" of gt-4 conversions into reality for ALOT of us who have been pondering on it, but not knowing the right way to go about it. VERY well done, major props from me! -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

All you have to do is weld them in your car and bolt in the cradle. I found a gas tank at a local junkyard out of a ST165 for $25 This post has been edited by TheMadScientist: Dec 15, 2008 - 11:14 PM -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica Convertible GT (My 1st Celi,Owned since 2002)

I'm wondering if the camry all-trac rear cradle and diff will work. I am searching for a good deal on the rear end parts. I know its old, but awd is better than fwd. -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer

I would like to thank everybody for the complements!!! Even though this is my first car project, I've been building 4X4 rock crawlers with custom suspensions for years.
So custom fabrication is no stranger to me and believe you me rock crawlers go through so extreme abuse -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica Convertible GT (My 1st Celi,Owned since 2002)

well I would like to thank you for your contribution to give us gt-four lovers to turn a dream into reality.
How do you mount the gas tank with the rear floor pan missing. Is the tank aluminum? Are you going to use straps? Brackets to hold it up? -------------------- 98 Celica gt red- totaled deer
