Matt, yours isn't bad, it almost looks about the same as the middle one I put up. The dish lip looks a bit deeper on the one I picked though and I like that. Also I couldn't help myself and I put on the Currens, glad I did too, these look f'in awesome.



WOO HOO

[Jaws4God]

wow!! Looks amazing!!!

[JonMarkos]

Had to run out and get some pictures for something else so I figured I'd snap some more of my car



The Currens lit up, they look so much better than the stock lights



I laughed when I saw this one, I pictured her saying "Jon, come out of the darkness and play with me."

[Negative]

LOL. That statement just confirms what I've been thinking all along: We all have a sickness. My car "speaks" to me also.

^ x2 Jon them currens are sexy. I can't wait to get some money. There is a silver 6th gen coupe here in fremont. When i save up some money i'm gonna try buying it from them and do a full curren conversion. that way i have two sweet celi's. But looks good can't wait to come out and help you get your car finished let me know.

[CelicaBuddy]

Yay! They look awesome!

You do not want the axis wheels. They are not very strong. believe me i have bent 3 out of the 4 of mine. They look hot but cant take a pot hole.

So I went up to GI saturday and got the truck, that means work has now begun on my car .


To start with this is what I will be driving while I do the work, she's a beast


Strippin her down


This random stranger stopped by so I made her work


I think she actually cried a little when I did this


This was the last picture I took as I was driving away, most of the exterior pieces I want to take off are off, now I get to start sanding and doing the bondo and fiberglass work.

Strippin her down

this is how I saw this. I removed some of your pictures so you can see same thing I saw. ( I'm at work so not all the picture came up at the same time ) it was a lil surprising

[playr158]

either way...GOOD JOB

[celiracer]

Good job man. Make sure you give me a call next time your down their lol. I'll stop buy and help ya out.

[JonMarkos]

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. Btw, I found this when taking everything out of the trunk, good thing I haven't had a flat tire yet...

[JonMarkos]

haha that would really suck, what exectally are you doing to the celi

My thoughts exactly. As far as the car, I am adding SS-III front extensions, 404A sides, and Hiro rear extensions. I've also already added on Currens and am currently looking for a good set of rims to put on her.

[KB-2]

Nice!
that will look really nice when its done
if you got some projectors that would look even better!
but thats like $10,000,000 !

[JonMarkos]

Actually closer to 700, and thats next on my list after Tein SSs

So another day, another crap ton of sanding work getting done..

I found a wreck when I got up to the front fender, also, whoever repaired the wreck didn't even spray down a coat of primer, I went through clear what seemed like forever, then paint, then metal . I was starting to hope I could get this job done without having too much metal exposed so I don't have to worry about it oxidizing but no luck on that anymore...


Side shot that shows the already bondo'd and crappy work done on the left front.


Another side shot.



I remember reading a post a while ago that talked about spoiler removal and someone was saying that even after unbolting the spoiler from inside the trunk they could not get it off the car. I had the same problem. It took about half a can of adhesive remover sprayed around the posts, a lot of 30 lb fishing line to use as a saw to help break the adhesives up, and 2 hours for me to get through all the crap they had jammed in there to hold it down. Atleast I know they didn't want them to fly off the car.

Oh yeah, I also found out that both DAs I have are busted, apparently my dad hadn't used them in a while...my arms are sore.
