That's a clean 'vert. Looks great!

That looks awesome! Separate question though...how much does that spoiler block your rear window? I don't have a spoiler on mine because the convertible rear window is so tiny.

Nice one! I also have a Beams powered red Celi with a GT4 front. Not convertible though, and not with paint as good as yours.
Well done.

Wow one of the nicest verts I've seen!
Dude I almost had you
Thats a really clean looking vert, good work.
Love the convertibles! I like the BEAMS engine in that as well, although I have zero experience with them aside from appearance.
I've been thinking about a spoiler for my '97 vert to jazz it up, but can't decide if I like the look. The back of the convertible Celica looks like the designers went on vacation, or just ran out of ideas. I have a couple of ideas, but a spoiler is the easiest bolt on possibilty.
Are there before pictures or has she always been so beautiful?
Can I get a better pic of your exhaust piping?
hey pgiorgio you may not know since you had a mechanic do the work, but is the beams engine a direct swap in? like will all the lines, hoses, shifter cables, and wiring harness all match the car or did it need a hybrid wiring harness and a bunch more work to make it work? just curious because I am hoping to do a beams swap of my own

I had the opportunity to see this car in person as the CSP meet. I gotta say the car is impeccable inside and out, the swap looks great, and Peter is a great guy.
