rentaspace's ST246 N-Edition Caldina Options

[rentaspace]

Well as everyone should know by now, on May 12/3 I sold my Celica and I purchased a 2002 ST246 N-Edition Caldina in Japan.
Anyway, the car got to the compliance workshop last Tuesday and is in the final phases of the import process.
A few shots of the car at the docks in Japan:




At the moment the car is waiting for our Government to make the Compliance Plate (A bit of metal that indicates the car is legally imported). Which may take 1-3 weeks... While that waits I am getting a few things fixed up so she should be sweet for delivery and roadworthy!

Well weeks and weeks later, the bumper finally showed up:


Unfortunately it turned out it had been painted Pearl white and not the stock white colour, but that was not all the problem:





So the bumper was sent off to my friends shop for repairs, the Russian owner had for some reason used some bodgy black sealant type crap to try and repair the bumper previously which made the repair a bit harder than it needed to be. But, it was finally completed:






And for now, that is where the bumper is at. Now it just needs a final clean up, proper primer and ready to be colour matched to the car.
Meanwhile, the Caldina had been damaged yet again (Now the 3rd and 4th time it has been damaged), requiring more work and money:




The mirror looks like it may buff out, but the rear bumper has been cut straight through to Plastic... So will require repair and paint...
This means that I have to now get the Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, Spoiler Spats and Rear Tailgate re-painted... :L
