I think it will be pretty easy to get flush once I can fiberglass... right now there ruff only cuz I can't do more to them. All I really have to do is glass in the open spot and fill in the area between the skirt and the side of the car.. the scoop area will be the only tricky part and that will just be a decent amout of sanding. Prolly take me a day to do each side. As for leaving it outside, the car sits ouside with a cover but nething that isnt bolted down gets put away where it's safe
I really wouldnt call it butched... just more doin what needs to be done to get what I want... but it really sucks makin those cuts in the side of the car
looks kinda like a drawing I did quite a long time ago but other than that I have no clue

The front is the only thing photoshopped.. the intercooler etc is all there.. basically its just the bottom half of the DO-Luck front and the upper half of the invader kit.. -------------------- 99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |

Thanks man
To a certian degree I already have, But yea I plan on doin alot more lightenin to her.. Biggest thing I plan on doing lightening right now is to remove as much weight off the doors as possible with out sacraficing strength. I really don't want to lighten the car TOO much though... I would rather have a slightly heavier car with my motor than a car that is soo light it wouldn't catch on the track. I also want to try and keep her a little bit balanced and not have too much of a weight displacement to the front. Ideally I would like to have the celica weight about as much as it does once im done as it did stock, but with the 3sgte and everything else... im also thinkin about cagin it pretty soon and that's gonna be alot of extra weight -------------------- 99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |

 Guess stipt is gonna help me with it a little.. I will post photos if I can find a place other than imagestation to host photos on.. or maybe it will be back up by then.

I HATE THE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay... now that I have said that.... Worked on the front today.. got alot done today.. am going to say for those that might be thinkin about putting on a Supra front - you better know what your doing and have experince with custom work before - there is alot more than I expected to make it fit.. hell even had me stumped a few times as to what I should do.. but got most of it figured out. It did involve cutting of the fenders, alot of trimming of the front and a few other mods to things. Unfortunately I didn't get to finish it up today due to the rain  Today would of been a perfect day to do fiberglass.. the temp was high enuf that if I used a heat lamp the fiberglass would of setup right.. but it had to start raining about an hour before I would of been ready to start some fiberglassin .another stumblin block is that to make the two fronts line up correctly it looks like I am going to have to extend the Do-Luck front on the sides some... gonna look at it a little closer next weekend before I make ne cuts but looks like it needs to be about an inch or two longer on each side, but some of this might be due to the way I had the leftover section of the invader airdam clamped making it stick out a little farther than it should. This might prove to be a good thing though cuz I was a little unhappy with the way that just the Do-Luck front looked when postioned onto the car.. had kind of a pugnosed look to it.. bringin it out a little looked alot better. Newayz on with the photos, Image station isn't up yet so I can only load a few onto my profile now and link em here but I have pretty much step by step photos if neone is interested let me know.   Yea I know some of the cuts are a little crooked right now but that will all be smoothed together. tell me what you guys think
