Hi All.
I've just signed up to this forum and thought I should introduce myself. I'm Ray from London. I own a 94 WRC ST205 in 040 Super White. It was a mess when I got it and I've been spending the last 2 years restoring it. Everything you can think of what was normally wrong with a GT4 was wrong. The only thing good about it wsa that it was stock, engine block was still good and the body was alright. But I got it for a bargain and wanted a long project. Here are a few pictures of it over the last 2 years:             I've been a member of the Celica_club.co.uk for the past few years and have done so much restoration work on my car that it's too much for me to list. At the moment it's lightly modded but performs like a dream. Hope you like my work. Ray This post has been edited by yellowchinaman: Jan 15, 2009 - 10:30 AM |

yeah I know. Had that nickname as a joke 2 years back but then became quite popular in the celica forum and have used it in the GT4 forums I've joined since and now here.

hahaha. yeah well Id like to think of it as international networking
 There's a lot of things we don't have in the UK for Celicas and this forum is very usefull. Though I'm a devoted corperate member in the CCUK, I still like to branch out and make some connections. note: can someone move this to the General thread pls? I mite have posted it in the wrong section. |

The most obvious things you see are the carbon fibre. I have tons of pitctures of my restoration work under the car and under the hood. Nice to recognise some names here too. I saw Danny Mc Spammy posting in this forum as well.

I know that the 7th gen seats look sporty, but comfort wise, I say 6th gen all the way.

Thanks for the support guys and girls (if any)
me being the 5th one from the UK is hardly an invasion though? I like the idea that I have a rear number under my hood being a WRC. Even though the extra bits are useless, it was more meaningfull as a restoration project. Hopefully some time this year I'll be settuing up a work shop. Then i can fit a varis body kit to it and give it a respray to amend the dents and scratches it's collected over the years. I don't plan on having big power but do plan on doing the usual mods to get it to 300bhp and also making more carbon details. |
