*New project... Finally got my hands on one!! Just in time for winter! hehehe...

 

looks like you have a long winter ahead of you . Congrats on the Celica, it is the twin of mine when i first got it.



let me know if you need any parts.

 

sweet.



i love celica's way more then trucks. but why do smily bumpers have to cost so F'n much

 

True, but at lease the fiberglass ones have gone down in price

 

Looks like an awesome project Par! Can't wait to check it out and help you with the project! Shootz

 

looks like you got yourself a pretty solid ride there nice score

 

Thanks guys!

Gonna try something other than the smilies first, coz these bumpers are in really decent shape... We'll see as i go... Stoked to get this thing rollin again!

 

Lechay solid bro! What will this beast be powered by?

 

A Toyota ofcourse...

 

Kux!

 

Not sure yet chelu, more than likely just a mild 22R setup for now... I can't decide which one gets the Hybrid, the truck or celi?... Maybe both will get one!

Rookie~ PM'd u!

 

Been awhile since I updated this thread, here's the new front teeth and shoes... Please excuse my crackberry pic...

 

Lechay da nu look is schnarp!

 

lookin sweet man!

 

wow i've just noticed your single sidedraft do you wanna sell it i am willing to buy it realllllly interested!

 

Damn primo, you have a twin in NC. I said screw it and bought a set of Prostars.... Looking cherry bro!

 

Ok here's my try at bodywork/welding...

The setup:
1. Air compressor to cool down the metal, blow dirt, kill any fires!
2. Box fan for fresh air from toxic flux core fumes...
3. Harbor freight 90 amp wire fed el cheapo... < Lincoln .30 wire...
4. Basic stuff, hammer, pliers, vice grips, and wire brush!






Never thought I'd see the day I cut a hole in my truck... The factory rubberized undercoat was a b*tch to work with...





Somewhat tacked in and starting to fill the welds, took awhile to find a usable setting as you can see by the burnt holes!





All welded up... How do they say it: bird sh*t anyone? lol!




Body mount re-done, took me about 8 cigarettes to figure this part out! lol





Por-15! Don't get this stuff on your hands like it says on the warning label! Had a couple spots go thru my longsleeve shirt and had a hard time getting it all off....





Pulled the carpet on the passenger side and had to re-do that body mount also! Was so disgusted I didn't bother taking pics of the pass side... I must admit it was a little bit easier to do tho being somewhat experienced!

Por-15'd the whole floor yesterday and layed down one coat of rubberized undercoat this morning. I'll try and snag some pics of it tomorrow...

 

Looks good enough. How does it feel ? Is is really solid ?

 

Feels solid, i did bang on it alot with a hammer...

 

Nice work, i'm fiberglassing some swiss cheese on the bed, I was gonna cut it out and put a patch panel but I don't think it's too bad, no holes bigger than 1/4 inch so I decided to just use fiberglass. I'll post pics when I get to a decent stopping point, I hate to touch my 1200.00 camera with resin on my hands...LOL
