So finally my car is done, it's been almost a month or so but I needed time to re-assemble the car and I was very busy with my life blah blah...
So after an adventure that started in march, here's the grande finale!!!  So let's start to go back in history... I was the proud owner of a '90 GT coupe  until march 2006, when I heard of a guy selling a 6th gen a couple hours from my place...so I went and analysed the car...  A fully loaded GT-S, leather, premium sound, sunroof...descent rust...a deal was made! Later this summer I slowly started moding it..Tein spring and new tires (with the rims the car with).., repairing of spoiler, etc...  Then after a couple mishaps, including all windows down during an entire night of storm, and a stupid "flying hood" accident...everything was starting to get back together..  But the end result is worth alllllllll the time and effort, sweat, pain, swearing and money! The feeling of accomplishment of doing all the work yourself is great..specialy when somebody say to you they like your car.        And a little photoshop magic here :   So there ya go! enjoy the pictures!!!!!! --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

Good Job Buddy! I'm happy this dream of yours came true! I wish I had the time, money and patience to do this for my baby too! You make us proud being 6gc owners in Moncton! We definitly have to do a meet to make other people jealous!

I placed my orders at toyota world and 1stpartstoyota in june and it came in pretty quickly, except from the hood which took a long while and finally got in in late august. The car's still not "done", on some picture its missing the rear crest and lettering, and of course the foglights (which I'm doing today). -------------------- -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

Thats a heck of a transformation. You can never ever go wrong with GT4 body panels. Is that the factory white or some thing different? I just realized that the GT4 bumper and no sides makes it sit perfectly level. It looks good,

Making me think of getting an st205 front now. it would look much better with fogs of course. you sure have a lot of side markers.
