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.

DCW Ducktail spoiler is being molded in for a smooth transition.

Very much looking forward to seeing this, was considering something custom along these lines myself.

Sounds like it will be an exciting project, have fun!

Mine is just the factory red used in 1999. I don't know the exact name or code though.

lmao i cant wait to see the car finished with the shaved handles and stuff, thats gonna be CLEAN man.

It's what I'm hoping for. We're actually planning on showing hte car, hence the full paintjob and custom stuff. I still need to figure out how to either clear the fog lights, or we're going to move to a PIAA fog or something that matches the clear highs/lows to finish the front off.

Forgot one other thing we're doing. The devil horn logo's on the nose/tail.......I'm having those sprayed instead of using the gel emblems.

Well, the Clifford alarm came in yesterday, so I took a look at the wiring when I got home. I'm normally pretty good with wiring but this is one freaking complicated sucker. I almost think it would be worth it to pay the local joint to install it for me. Still have to get solenoids and get them mounted/wired in too. Too bad my BGB isn't too detailed on the wiring pinouts and such........I"m pretty disappointed with it actually, and there's ZERO alarm system wiring info contained (but I've got enough to work with on line at least).

More to come. I've got 16 line lock kits to try to make tomorrow, and if I can get those done I can devote tuesday and thursday night to trying to get this wired in.

[hockeyplyr24]

should be awesome when its done!

Got three 45lb solenoids ordered, those should be in around the end of the week. I think what I'm going to have to do is postpone the drop off at the shop until Monday night or Tuesday next week to give myself 2-3 days this weekend to do the alarm/solenoids. I have to pull the passenger fender to open the passenger door because it's so far smashed back, and that's going to take some time. I also think what I'm going to do is gut the interior and see if the factory alarm is piggyback harnessed in or if it's all spliced. I've found some info on the net that suggests the RS3000 alarm had an integration harness that was just mid-plugs. Would make it a SNAP to get out........

Either way, I'm planning on doing a good pictoral write-up on this alarm portion of things.
