My first project, New parts Arrive! Options

[Bourne6Gen]

I am new to this forum and i am also new to the jap scene.

I got hold of this little beauty about 2 months ago from a good mate of mine for £450 and have finally understood why people say "Once you go Jap, you never go back".

It was completly standard when i bought it apart from the wheel that are on it.

Current specs are;

Engine: 1.8L 16V
Mileage: 145'000 miles
Current mods: some tiny wheels that dont look right on it.

so here is a picture of when i first got her


not long after getting it i had to add some audio


my mate also had a exhaust that he bought for the celica but never fitted it so he sold it to me for a good price

Exhaust could do with a clean


i have got some plans for her, just got to fugure out how i go about it.

Plans for the future

sort out the interior
- new seats
- new dashboard gauges
- redo the roof line and door panels
- it some pillar pods
- new steering wheel

Exterior
- GT4 bonnet and front bumper
- new wheels
- lower
- fit spoiler
- vinyl wrap roof and bonnet

Right so as you saw i just had my Manifold and down pipe arrive and i thought im too impatient to wait till the rest of exhaust arrives so im going to fit it this weekend.

well i got as far as opening the bonnet and taking the heat shield off before i had to stop because i realised i did not have enough tools to get the job done right, so its back to the shop for more tools.

So now for the first time in a while we had a bit of sun and my mate (FrostBiitez) had just had a delivery of plasti dip so what better to do than spray my block for my spoiler black while he sprayed his wheels.





tried my spoiler on FrostBiitez car to see what it would look like when his arrives in a couple of weeks.



some high tech spray stand here



time for spraying





wipe off some over spray and....















so Before



and after



Not bad for a first attend ever spraying Plasti dip

next up spray the rest of the car in it. o and sort out all the dents
