My "new" toy. Here is the story. Since high school I have been wanting this car. First was the USDM spec however as time went on and I started getting more into these Japanese made vehicles... I got more into the JDM spec of things.
Anyways I wanted to import this vehicle so badly however at that time the GT4 was not yet 15 years of age, so I couldn't import it. While waiting there was a fight going on between importers and Transport Canada going on for the worse. The ruling that one cannot bring a vehicle over unless the vehicle was at least 25 years of age. Since I heard this, I felt that I should give up on my want to bring the GT4 over to Canada... So I bought my first 6th gen, a 1997 Celica GT 5SFE:   Had this vehicle for a while, then found out that the ruling for the 25 year importing fell out. So I imported this baby:   I was now the second owner of this GT4.. and I now obtained my dream car!!! This is where my story begins... This post has been edited by DKGT4: Nov 22, 2012 - 12:31 AM |

So some updates as I go. I have been trying to find time to actually lay the fibreglass into the molds. This is what I have so far. It doesnt look too bad for a first timer.
  Now I'm having a hard time removing the tape from the half enclosure... Any suggestions... I'm thinking a blade and some patience... I figured a sander would help but the adhesive from the pate would just gum the sand paper all up and render it useless... At this point all I am doing is strengthening the box enclosure so that there is minimal vibration. Once I figure out how to get all the tape off, I need to start to place the mounting points to the car and for the 10" sub mounts. I unpacked my subs as well just to see how beautiful they are, and boy are they a beaut!!!
