You have done an amazing job on repairs and this conversion. I would love to have a write up on whats needed to do this conversion. i was thinking of converting the front end to the supra front and leaving the back alone. whatcha think?

[deathdoakill]

sounds good i was considering doing a complete front end conversion as well but im kinda hesetent to do this as it would no longer be a noticable celica but still considering it excuse my bad spelling

how is that coming along, any progress or have you been stuck doing the back?

[deathdoakill]

yeah rght now ive decided to just pull the front end off and maybe start over but im undecided for now im putting a z style lip on the front end (stock)... on my way hme today i was taking a turn on the hwy and it felt like something is about to snap (vibrating)... on the suspension as i was taking a corner not fast under 60 the car suddenly started pulling to the rght hard as if the suspension was giving i will be tearing aprt the car tonight ive had a control arm snap on two cars and ive a feeling this might be the case here so anyone have any ideas i was turning to the rght and it started pulling harder to the rght followed by some vibration on the driver side when i take a turn

[deathdoakill]

ok figured it out the reason it pulled to the rght was becuase the f#@$ing cv axle nut was no longer on the passenger side of the car i will never take my car to another shop again as long as i live no one is allowed to touch my car but me lol this could of been a disaster

I can't imagine the amount of illegal bondo on that rear end, how much did you layer?

[deathdoakill]

lol my freind i used no bondo yet its all solid fiberglass as i was rebuilding i removed the thin layer that had originally been used and only used fiberglass none yet keyword (yet)

[LAMBOZ]

looks good mate, but couldnt you round the edges of the tailgate a bit more aroun the lights as it looks silly with straight edges!

[deathdoakill]

yeah i plan on fixing but alot more work needs to be done to the body i started over on the front end and the rear is no where near to being done the hatch is the last part to be done first fabing the side vents for the rear and fender flares as soon as im done im gonna post some more pics
