So me and Dustin (Batman722) decided to postpone the wedding another year and buy another 6th gen project instead...
That and the 99 Solara I've been using as a winter car is going to my sister in a few weeks so we needed to have one available to each of us as a 'winter beater'. We have my green 97 ST turbo, Dustin's blue 95 GT ST205 swapped, his silver 95 ST And let me introduce the new addition to our Celica family, 1994 Celica GT, 5spd, black interior, sunroof, Florida car without New England rust. Very bad rod knock and a very bad radiator meant we had to have it towed home where it stayed until it was again towed to Manny, Jenn and Randi's garage. We decided to swap in a Redtop 3S-GE Beams We cleaned it up, timing belt, waterpump, tensioner, prepped to go in ^inside the intake manifold, taken through the throttle body And as of tonight, it is in the car and running, And Manny fabricated the whole exhaust, from the b-pipe all the way back. I do not have good pics of it, someone else will have to insert them. We should be able to take some better pics tomorrow in the daylight. So far, very fun This post has been edited by hurley97: Jul 1, 2010 - 4:49 PM -------------------- |

More about the wheels
Before two had some curb rash, one was very bad. the other two were just fine... Dustin stripped the paint off all of them, I didn't do it very well Then I did some filing and sanding, globbed on some aluminum putty... did even more sanding and filing and sanding again... I just need to do a little more overall sanding on two of them and they will be ready to go for powder coating... I bought the powder from powderbuythepound.com, they shipped extremely fast Color will be Super Durable Wet White: ULTRA SMOOTH FINISH WITH THE HIGHEST GLOSS LEVELS !! PROVIDING LONG TERM RESISTANCE TO CHALKING AND LOSS OF GLOSS USING HIGH-PERFORMANCE PIGMENTS TO PROVIDE LONG TERM COLOR STABILITY ~ SUPER DURABLE WET WHITE ~ POLYESTER~GLOSS LEVEL 95+5% ~ CURE TIME = 400F/10 MIN -------------------- |
