NICE !!!

we have enough spare parts between us to get that back to looking good.

$300 you can't go wrong. I think my car was worse than that at one point.


I was Just going to say ChickenMan prob has everything you need.

ohh, no, tom...this is DEFINETLY NOT for my daughter...i will let her drive it (while its still auto anyway..lol) but its definetly going to be MY car.
ive been telling the wifey, now i can make a new name....the REAL pressure2...lmao
since all my time here has been with her car.

jesse:
ill take you up on that...although we may have to arrange a 100 installment payment plan..lmao things are tight moneywise...at least till the old house sells. but yea, shoot me a PM with what your thinking...maybe we can work somthing out. wink.gif

joe: thanks.

tina...you know D, hes like having a personal celica junkyard as your best friend! haha
we'll see how things go...right now, i just wanna get the car on the road...i've thought of prolly a dozen diffrent ways to go about this thing already...im sure ill go thru a few dozen more before i actually start doing anything. hardest part right now, is once its fixed, its going to need paint...since jenns car is the color i always wanted on our celica, picking a color for this one isnt going to be so easy. wink.gif

I agree...since you have the 3sgte in the greatest color ever, I vote for a 98 SS-iii replica...

he is 5sfte not 3sgte



and i think you should do a beams swap

damn you always do great work, i can't wait till this one gets finished
nice find, its funny how obsessed everybody is with the auto to manual swap tho... does it really matter when u have a 5sfte already? I'd just fix the body damage and not waste too much more money on it

naa, never a beams swap for me. if im gonna swap, it would definetly be to a built 3sgte.
200na hp would feel slow, compared to the 5sfte car. i cant do a swap, and be SLOWER than my wifes car!! haha

ive been thinking about some SSIII stuff...the SSIII rear extensions work pretty well with the lotus skirts, and i bet the fronts would as well...

and yea, the manual swap matters that much.
nothing i do to this car will be a "waste of money" as you put it.

That is almost EXACTLY the color I want to paint my car, should I ever scrape up the funds to have it painted.

I've always been a big fan of the gunmetal/metallic charcoal colors - elegant, understated and sexy as hell. Maybe some nifty iridescent metallic stuff mixed in so it reflects pinks and greens or blues in different light at different angles. Subtly though, nothing ostentatious.

I'm going to keep pushing for 1G3 Magnetic Grey Metallic wink.gif

That would look really good! I like.

thats my next color wink.gif such a classy yet aggressive color.

Visit My Automotive & Tech Blog.
Thats a sweet color. Nice fender

I will return one day.
nice color..... gunmetal rims??

BANNED. for life, you moron.
How about Toyota's Thundercloud metallic? Used on 4Runners and Land Cruisers only I believe.

yay... do it do it... I love it! there were like four '07 Camry's that color in the shop all at the same time yesterday. I didn't have my camera on me and I was working (obviously) so I couldn't take any pics, but it was a sign! biggrin.gif

WOOOT car is all registered, and on the road.
first day driving it.

first impressions:

damn, stock suspension is much softer than 5 yr old (AKA worn out) kybs and sportlines!

auto is boring.

stock speakers suck.

damn, even a stock auto celica has TONS more TQ and power than a 93 civic Vx. lol

i havent had a chance to pickup the hood from big D yet, ill prolly do that on sunday.

im 90% sold on magnetic grey pearl for the color, i think it will look pretty sweet.
it will be a nice contrast to the wifeys car, which is much more bold looking compared to the grey. i think i will be going with a more "sleeper" look, if you can call it that. smile.gif

Nice work, the grey should look great. Are you putting the lotus skirts on it?

JDM guy made me do it.

what can I do to complete the other 10% of the sale?

I was going to ask to "test drive" a new Camry to your house but I'm not sure when or if they will even let me.

never go wrong with neutral colors - it might be a tough one to put gun metal wheels on it, you don't want it to monochromatic. you can pass with bronze on it, - i've seen that scheme many times.
