Starting The Project! :D, 1994 Celica ST Options

[NOVAKx17]

Where to start.....

i picked up this celica over the summer from a guy locally for 300 bucks...
it was hit in the front and needed both fenders, a hood, a bumper, all new lights,
((basically a whole new front end)) ..

i've found alot of the stuff i need and i'm starting to get it all ready to have it
painted.

but unfortunately i've ran into some rust issues i'm fixing here and there but all and
all its not too bad.

this will be a continuous thread of my progress throughout the winter and hopefully
finishing in spring if it all goes good

first things first, so far i've collected 2 new hoods, a passenger side fender, passenger
side lo and hi beams, and a driver side hi beam light, and as of today i bought a new
stock bumper on ebay!

So needless to say all i'm in search of now is a driver side fender and driver side lo beam.


All i've really done so far is got it stripped down and started to sand , and just as a little treat to myself i've installed some new white face gauges

here are some pics of the progress so far!



















And More To come, i'll try to update every day !

Enjoy

feel free to drop suggestions anytime

I bought it at Advance Auto. It's 12.99 per can.

Sorry to steal your idea, but i think i'm going to go with night-shades! thanks man! you probably just saved me like 60 bucks. ha.


so you can just go right over the entire lenses and everything?

its fairly easy?

Yeah, what he said...it's way more. But wet sand (google it if you don't know what it is) the surface of the tails with 600 grit sandpaper, do it very lightly though. Then do 3 light coats like I described. Let it dry well (at least an hour) and then hit it with clear. And again, I'd recommend wetsanding in between coats of clear.
