Is this car ever going to be finished? Everytime i check on it (which is frequent since its such a badass car) its suppose to be ready the next day, and then its not going to be done until the next day and so on. Tell these guys at the shop to hurry up, ive never seen a job take so long.

Looks good though.

Yea i know. Trust me its frustrading. My car isn't the most important thing in his shop. His company is semi's not cars. So whever a semi job opens he has to work on that or he looses business. I'm the first car in my town that he is working on. And he's wanting to make sure that he is getting everything done perfectly. So i don't blame him. I'm just happy i'm getting it done right the first time.

Looks good but you forgot to have the side markers shaved.

Nah, I like my side markers. Without them it looks to bear in the front. I shaved the things in the back because everything was all crouded looking specially the antenna with the 2-post with blocks. I didn't shave a lot of things that i could of because i don't want it to look completly show i just wanted to make some parts look sleek. Like the back and still leave a lot of the stock stuff there.

man the car look great .. if it lookslike that now i cant wait to see it when its done...

[celiracer]

Thanks Punch. I really can't wait to get it finished, Because nobody in my town has a 6th gen but me that is modded. So everyone's gonna be in ahh, and wont even know what kind of car it is.

[devilsden97]

[celiracer]

Thanks. Monday i'll be going out there, and hopefully just hopefully he will have it done. But if not there will be more progress pictures.

, celiracer u gotta stop posting more of those pics mate, i'm getting the urge to spend more money for my car after seeing those pics, ahh i just j/k but realli i'm very tempted to get a kit for mine, oh well have to resist the urge and save up dosh to get a turbo in a couple of yrs, but anywayz it's awesome to see ur car's progress

[celiracer]

LOL sorry man, once i seen this kit, i had to get it. Because it just makes the celica look totally different then stock. And having everything shaved off even makes everyone in my town not know what it is. But there will be more pics of progress and finished product.

[giang723]

lol yeah i'm catching on ur fever right now, just hav to hav it nah there can only be one, i'll just stick to the basics hopefully i should be able to dump the car by the end of this month, King springs here i come, also can't wait 4 ur next release of updated pics

One thing im really worried - you gonna respray whole car - and you AINT CUT YOUR Rear Side windows???? Man - after repaint - give it a half year and you will have clear coat chipping all around them!!! THIS IS the rule everyone HAS to folow then you respraying fully - Plastic around rear windows is hard / not posible to lift it up - this means DUST and all the other $hit will be left there in the gap, and also unprepared surface - paint and clear coat wount stick there and after respray - once the masking tape around this area will be lifted is about 80% out of 100 that along with the masking tape it will lift some parts of clear... Its not too hard to just cut and reglue them. And you would have propertly made job.

Everything else look really good...

I'm just letting him do what he wants to do with paint. If it peels he paints it again for free. I have a 3 year warrenty on this paint. Thats the only reason i went to this guy.

Well its your choise - if it peels - you will be Celica less and get the car painted again and again? instead of just letting him know what i said - and cutting side windows out? Well its your choiise

[celiracer]

Well im pretty sure he knows what he's doing. He's a professional bodyman. Plus he has two vehicals of his own that are custome bodykitted and custom painted. Were painted 2 years ago and paints perfect. So i'm pretty sure it will be done right.

[celiracer]

I'm planning on going to the bodyshop tomorrow night. If its not done by friday i'm gonna start regulating. Its been way to long without my car and i'm going NUTS

[celiracer]

I know people are getting upset that my cars not getting done. A lot of people here in my town are getting mad because they want to see it to. But tomorrow night if its not done i'm going to get really mad. So i guess lets hope for it to be done tomorrow.

[C3L1CA]

Can't wait to see the finished pics! It is going to look so nice

[celiracer]

Cars painted YAY! i'll get my pics up they arnt the greatest but they have to do. The only thing is i get it back tuesday or wednesday then i have to find somewhere to put my exhaust back on.





Still have to wet sand it, buff it, and wax it. But there is 4 coats of clear coat
