THE RESURRECTION IS DONE!!!! Pics Page 9, Build/Progress thread Options

[Fastbird]

Figure it's a good Valentine's day present for my wife. Our Celica is going into the shop on Saturday next week. Here's a recap of what happened.

Accident the day before Thanksgiving:


So what's being done??

The obvious:
New Hood, Front Bumper Cover, passenger side fender, Projector Low and High beams.

The not-so-obvious:
FULL paint job.
Shaved front marker lights.
Shaved door handles.
Clifford Matrix RSX 3.3 Remote Start Alarm System
DCW Ducktail spoiler is being molded in for a smooth transition.
5th Gen Power Mirrors being put on
3Post Spoiler holes being welded/smoothed
All the little dents/dings being removed.

And immediately after we get the car back:
DCW Gauge Face Cover (like in Dustin's car)
Finishing the Red/Black CF interior stuff
Kenwood DDX-812 going into the car

I'm going to try to get some stuff done before we take the car in, adn I'll be working on the car while it's in the shop. Will keep updating this thread as things progress. I'm SOOOOOOO excited that it's finally being fixed.

[jimmykay]

Thanks for the new background too.

how do u like those neogens. i love mine.

LOVE the Neogen's. Best move I ever made. They're wearing incredibly, are quiet, ride great, and unlike the General Exclaim UHP's we had previously, the Neogen's are very confidence inspiring during cornering.

Sorry about the pic sizes everyone. I didn't even think about it as I was re-uploading my website. I'll go through tonight and cut them down to a more manageable 1024x768.

I have a few more things planned for it in the near future: HID's, Hood lift shock conversion, Methanol Injection kit, new projector fog lights, new brakes and I'm powdercoating the calipers/brackets to match the paint as close as possible, and I'm going to pull the intercooler and use some black radiator paint on it to subdue the look. Also thinking about a wire and vac line tuck (or at least serious reroute) in the engine bay to hopefully get it up to magazine submission quality.

I love the pic size. My work comp has a ridiculous 1920x1200 resolution, so most pics I have don't fill up the screen. But I've already stole them, so go ahead and resize all you want.

I know what you mean. I run as big a resolution as I can, and am moving to a 24" 1920x1080 monitor VERY soon.

Oh........my bad man. I completely forgot about that. I'll buy next time we're in town. I'll even give your car a little "alone" time with my car, capiche??

new projector fog lights

what would they look like? I might be interested, since we both have the same lights

[MacgibaS2]

the car looks absolutely beautiful!

[808celica]

great job on the shine

Zaino, FTW. That's three coats in the following order: Z2 w/ZFX, Z5, and Z2.

I am openly giving permission for anyone to photoshop these images. I'm curious to see what people would do to the color balances or anything. I was playing with it earlier on a couple but left them untouched (save for the border) to start with.

doing it now.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. I don't want the canned 4" halo housings, and the hella's are just too big. I wanted to find something with a small chrome housing but I don't think it's going to happen. I'm probably going to buy 3-4 sets before I find something I like. Just need to match up the front end better because the stock fogs are the ONLY thing that's not clear up there.

On another note.......it would figure that my first day actually back driving the car, it's just GOT to be raining! Dang it!

dont paint the intercooler black. i think its a nice accent to the look of the car.

Really??? I thought it sticks out like a sore thumb, and with it black it would help with the subdued look.

[Batman722]

IC black ftw

[Fastbird]

Photoshop to the rescue then. I'll play with it tonight.

[jason]

i dont think painting it black would look good...

black mesh/grill infront of it would look better imo


i just forsee the paint looking like hell when someone is checking out your car and making them think it was done halfass

[808celica]

Done! hope you like them man.
