First off, I apologize.. it's not done. It would have been, but my friend who was helping me out left at 1pm because he got a call from his fiancee that his basement was flooding ...yay!
Anywho, his basement is now fine, and the pipe to his washer repaired... we'll get back on this tomorrow and complete it. For now, all I can say is pretty much everything you see here I did by myself. I know it doesn't look like much, but laying this stuff out is hard to do by yourself, and I wasn't able to lay the vinyl down myself as you kinda need two people for these things.. they're huge. (The ones that are laid down were done in with my friend)
I got the spoiler and spoiler blocks back from the paint shop today. THEY LOOK AMAZING! It'll be on the car tomorrow, but for now... here's a teaser picture. Hope no one died from suffocation:

Thanks guys 
. Can't wait to show it off in completion. Keep in mind, that even though the decals will be done tomorrow (hopefully), the large "Castrol" one on the spoiler won't be there obviously, as the paint hasn't fully cured yet.
Also, the new mud flaps have yet to arrive. The black ones will have to be taken off tomorrow so I can get the vinyl on.

I remember being about 12/13 years old with Gran Turismo 3, and saving up all of my in game money to get the Castrol Celica haha. It's so great that you're recreating it man. It's going to come up a treat.
So whens the rear diff, drive shaft, 3sgte, e154f, superstrut, 4pot, etc coming? 
Just kidding...
Looks good, those are 1998 SS-III wheels you have there. Can you tell me if they are 7 or 7.5 inch wide are the markings still there?

On the big stickers (If its proper vinyl) use lots of water with a very tiny small amount of washing up liquid and carefully use a credit card to push the water out from under them...this will allow you to remove the stickers and re use them if you dont line them up correctly or allow you some adjustment...use a hair drier to dry them out afterwards...but dont let them get too hot.
putting the stickers on without water will mean a large headache.
On the smaller stickers dont dother with water as you can line them up pretty easily without.

You`d be amazed how many people I have seen try to put vinyl straight onto a car
sorry to state the obvious, but its better to say something simple than to not say it and let someone **** up a job

Amen to large quantities of soapy water. That is what got me by with my huge yellow dragonx2 on my old celica. I had like a cajillion little pieces to attach.

Progress so far. So much to do, so much done... still working, just taking a breather. These are in the order they're completed. I actually have a lot more done than this.. but these are when I took pics of the car. Michelin decals are on the bumper and back quarter panels, but not shown for instance:
As far as the rear diff, drive shaft, 3sgte, e154f, superstrut, 4pot, etc.... they'll come when you pay for them, brother haha.

Nice progress. I, however, would have put your own name as the driver or a co-driver. Would have been your little cameo.

Good idea. It's never too late to change it though . Also, I'm not sure I'd want to broadcast my full name while I drive around.

Here is a suggestion.
Lets say your name is Andrew Jefferson.
You could do something like
Jeff Andrewson
Or you could be like me with 7 nicknames so you can list one that fits you better ;-)

Great job man that looks flawless! Two thumbs up for the progress. Now I get to wait in excitement to see full shots
I vote for putting "Daniel Richey" on the side of the car. Lol.
Seriously though, it's looking good!

Guys , I have a major problem and need help.
I'm on my third spoiler and cant buy and respray another. To be honest I'm sick and tired of having problems to such a simple solution.
The first spoiler was cracked, the second had the mounting holes and screw holes bondoed over, and NOW the third's screw holes to attach to the spoiler blocks are about twice as large as the original. It looks like they've been drilled out or something.
Is there any way to still use this? Is there any way to, i don't know, do like a nut and washer system to have it tighten to the oversize hole? Would this be stable enough or would it move around and break eventually?
I'm just at a loss, and I could use the help. Thanks in advance.
Btw, here are some updated pictures :

I was told a clip on nut would work on these. I'll have to get 4 of them tomorrow and see if that will work. Lordy lord, this project never lets me down lol.
Looks good man. Get JDM tails. And they also should've taped off the keyhole, it looks like they painted right over it?

For the JDM tails, I actually don't like them as much. I know it's strange, but one of the things I actually liked about the Celica when I was younger were the tail lights. To get JDM ones would take out one of the things I like about the car. That and stock ones are on the Sega Rally car, so there ya go
Yea, don't even get me started on the keyholes
. I repaired the door keyholes, but I have yet to do the one on the trunk. Trust me, it will be fixed very soon .

Thanks guys. Lol, yea I think I'll leave it as is . I should have new shots in the next up and coming days. Sorry it's not finished.. once again my friend was pulled away around 2pm to do things at home and then never came back.. oh joy! Still, we got a lot done, and I got a lot done by myself afterwords. On the big swoops though and large logos, I need another person to hold it as it's being put down, so this will have to wait till he's free again. Hopefully that will be tomorrow night.
It's almost done though.
Here is a list of what needs to be done:
Spoiler "Castrol" logo
Driver's side fender swooshes
2x Bonnet swooshes
Bonnet "Castrol" logo
Bonnet "Prepared by ...." logo
Roof "Castrol" logo
Driver's side door big box and #4
And that's it. As you can see it's almost done! It's not shown in the pictures, but more stuff has been done to the roof. Next time I show pictures though, I want to be 100% done with the car. Thanks for the support thus far, and keep your eyes peeled for more pictures soon.
