Chino's Swap/Progression Thread, My journey Options

[Chinosan89]

Hey all its been awhile since I posted anything about my car. To start from the beginning as a recap. I bought a 94 GT and decided I was going to do a motor swap. After a couple months I sourced out a clip in Canada and had it shipped to me. Spent a little extra time pulling the motor and making sure everything was clean and perfect before I threw it on to the GT. Spent a couple months on the GT (prepping it for the swap) and all of a sudden I get into a collision. Luckily the motor had not been swapped yet, but the GT was totaled. The sad part was, was that I bought it with the ST205 hood and bumper on it, so there goes about $1000 bucks ish in JDM parts. So later I bought a Celica that already had an ST215 motor in it. Car was a rocket, it was awesome and felt so nice. However I still had the ST205 motor sitting in my garage and I wasn't satisfied with that. So after 8 months of owning the ST215, I sold it to a close friend who gave me what I paid for the car plus his Celica ST (AT200) as a donor car. And that my friends is where the story starts. Sorry for the long and boring intro.

I let the car sit in the garage for a couple days just so the paint would semi cure and then I took it outside for it to get some air. Didn't drive it for a week. I had some slight orange peel but overall it turned out satisfying to me. It's not the perfect paint job but hey with a leaking air compressor, bad lighting, a home made booth, and a novice, I wasn't too upset about it. Plus it only costed me $400 bucks vs the $2200 I was quoted. I planned on painting the bay with a can after I pull the motor. But this was the car taken out to air dry for a little. I threw some projector head lights on there while it was doing that. No sense in not seeing how they look am I right? haha



Oh I forgot I bought some clear side markers for the JDM fenders! 0.o Excited about that haha











My buddy came over to help me with some stuff. Look its my old car in the background!



I did the side mirrors separately and I got lazy so I didn't drive with them on for about a month hahaha
