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 -------------------- |

bodywork has begun
![]() The car has a lot of small dings and dents all over the place. Not too bad. The passenger side door didn't line up with the rear quarter very well. The drivers side fender had splits in it at the wheel well lip, pass side fender was aftermarket and didn't really fit too well. The plan is to use the oem fender from the parts car on the pass side and buy a new oem fender for the drivers side. Hopefully the rest will be pretty easy. Lots of sanding and priming and more sanding. Plenty of time, the car isn't scheduled for paint until Sat July 17th. (If all goes according to plan) All non-moveable windows will be removed by the Thursday before paint, Manny will drive the stripped down car to work on Friday for the last bit of prep and taping. Paint Saturday and left over the weekend to dry. Monday AAA will go to the car and install the windows and we should hopefully be able to pick it up that afternoon and put everything back together. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by hurley97: Jun 30, 2010 - 9:20 PM -------------------- |
