Here is a suggestion.

Lets say your name is Andrew Jefferson.
You could do something like

Jeff Andrewson

Or you could be like me with 7 nicknames so you can list one that fits you better ;-)

Great job man that looks flawless! Two thumbs up for the progress. Now I get to wait in excitement to see full shots

I vote for putting "Daniel Richey" on the side of the car. Lol.

Seriously though, it's looking good!

Guys , I have a major problem and need help.

I'm on my third spoiler and cant buy and respray another. To be honest I'm sick and tired of having problems to such a simple solution.

The first spoiler was cracked, the second had the mounting holes and screw holes bondoed over, and NOW the third's screw holes to attach to the spoiler blocks are about twice as large as the original. It looks like they've been drilled out or something.

Is there any way to still use this? Is there any way to, i don't know, do like a nut and washer system to have it tighten to the oversize hole? Would this be stable enough or would it move around and break eventually?

I'm just at a loss, and I could use the help. Thanks in advance.

Btw, here are some updated pictures :

I was told a clip on nut would work on these. I'll have to get 4 of them tomorrow and see if that will work. Lordy lord, this project never lets me down lol.

Looks good man. Get JDM tails. And they also should've taped off the keyhole, it looks like they painted right over it?

For the JDM tails, I actually don't like them as much. I know it's strange, but one of the things I actually liked about the Celica when I was younger were the tail lights. To get JDM ones would take out one of the things I like about the car. That and stock ones are on the Sega Rally car, so there ya go

Yea, don't even get me started on the keyholes . I repaired the door keyholes, but I have yet to do the one on the trunk. Trust me, it will be fixed very soon .

Thanks guys . Lol, yea I think I'll leave it as is . I should have new shots in the next up and coming days. Sorry it's not finished.. once again my friend was pulled away around 2pm to do things at home and then never came back.. oh joy! Still, we got a lot done, and I got a lot done by myself afterwords. On the big swoops though and large logos, I need another person to hold it as it's being put down, so this will have to wait till he's free again. Hopefully that will be tomorrow night.

It's almost done though.

Here is a list of what needs to be done:
Spoiler "Castrol" logo
Driver's side fender swooshes
2x Bonnet swooshes
Bonnet "Castrol" logo
Bonnet "Prepared by ...." logo
Roof "Castrol" logo
Driver's side door big box and #4

And that's it. As you can see it's almost done! It's not shown in the pictures, but more stuff has been done to the roof. Next time I show pictures though, I want to be 100% done with the car. Thanks for the support thus far, and keep your eyes peeled for more pictures soon.

Hey! What's with the Sega decal??

Sega Rally: "Game over Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Whats with it? Haha. It's been my inspiration the whole time .

My favorite system of all time was the Sega Saturn because it houses all the games I grew up with. Sega Rally, Daytona USA, ect. The reason the Celica (namely the Castrol) one had such a large draw to me was because of Sega Rally. It was then that I also became interested in rally racing.

To not put the Sega logos up there would be a crime haha.


Funny side note. I almost sacrificed one of the sega logos to put the S in front of my liscense plate, which I think would accurately sum up my opinion of the car.

The "Prepared by Toyota Team Europe" stickers on the doors

shouldnt they say

"Powered By Toyota Team Europe"???

Otherwise...looking good...you cant beat a Castrol Celica

I've seen some that say prepared, some that say powered, some that just say Toyota Team Europe... and then some that simply don't have a graphic there.

The designs seem to change per car, and pretty drastically. Even the swooshes are completely different. If you look at the logos used for Castrol even, there are different ones for different cars. Some have the red only Castrol logo over the tire in the front, while others have the red and green box version.

I'm actually kinda curious to see how many types of Castrol Celicas were made. I've even seen ones with other "main" sponsors on them.

Anywho, if you look closely, I've changed a lot more than that anyway because it fits better on this model Celica, or I just found it more aesthetically pleasing. I figure if every Castrol car had big differences, why not carry that on with mine too .

wow its really looking great bro, thinking about a meet in southern ohio or indiania, somewhere around here, putting up a forum in the meet section you should check it out bro, but im loving the car it has really come a long way, i get my riser blocks and fogs later this week, and then hopefully my jdm tails next week if i can win this battle on ebay ha ha

She looks STUNNING!

I think this has been my favorite build thread by far. The dedication to accuracy and your persistence are enviable. Keep up the work...it's great!

Thanks guys, that means a lot to me . It's slightly custom since I don't have a GT-4 and what not, but at the same time, I'm really trying to do the car justice. Even when the car is "decorated" I still have so much more planned for it. Then again, I don't think anyone's project is really done, is it?

Per the big meet (giggle), I'd be down with that for sure. I travel all across Ohio anyway for my volunteering, so southern Ohio or Indiana would be do able for sure. Best of luck on getting those parts btw .

Yea...I think I drew a similar conclusion...there are hundreds of different versions.....I have done the same as you for my corolla.....taken my favourite bits from each design and made up a unique one that suited my taste and the look of the car best.

The Malboro Celicas look cool...stunning in fact, but would require painting as well as stickers to pull off the look.....

I`ve spent many months...if not years researching TTE Celicas...I get the feeling that after every graphics design they started again with a new one for every rally...really annoying when you want to accurately replicate a kit, also there are many non genuine castrol designs about which might be misleading.

Anyway...yours looks very cool...I like it alot

Euro spec tails brother. look just like the USDM but they remove the extra corner bulb. They look cleaner (thats y i have them)

edit: but it looks great

Wow, I generally can't stand the look of any car with the abundance of decals on them, but I really like this Celica. The replication is top-notch. Nice detail work, man, it looks stunning!

Thanks guys!

Yes, the spoiler blocks and new spoiler are painted. It would have been on tonight, but my bolts weren't long enough. They'll be on tomorrow. I'll have pictures tomorrow or Wednesday morning of it truly completed (with the spoiler)....BUT

As promised, the car is finally done with it's graphics. It's been a really hard, long... annoying.........costly road, but it feels like SUCH a pay off now.

Here it is:





Ok! Thanks for looking hope you all enjoyed.






























Ok I'm kidding. Here are the rest:
