Mark Thats a very good point and well made, I guess any restoration shop that wont take photos during the build possibly has something they don't want you to see Interior is not bad, but as normal with these the drivers seat will need repairs to the Bolster, I'm sure it wasn't Sir ALW that wore it out but one of the later owners

Pic of the Floor bung with the filler ground out The other side looks suspiciously familiar Decided to explore the rear lower quarters a bit more Thats some think filler At this stage I'm thinking it may be best to replace the complete rear panel and lower quarters Then a quick poke at a freshly seam sealed bit in the boot, to reveal a pop riveted patch, it had been coated in 1/4 of seam sealer in an attempt to disguise it, Tut Tut Thats it for today

I would like to live in there, I could sleep in that space under the metal folder? I am properly house trained and have been microchipped (using a +20BHP RESISTOR MOD CHIP off eBay)

Just a quick taster here, job is to build custom arches and front spoiler for this 1976 Celica Would be interested in any comments, also criticism, about the shape and sweep Wheels are 17". do you reckon they are the right diameter, front one would not go back any further, as they are off a BMW, but hopefully you can picture it Here is the car before and here it is now, just trying to agree the shape with part cardboard first Any comments welcome, but please keep them constructive v v v v v v v v v v v v

That looks great, wheels really suit too.
If the bloke that did the work to your black BMW was building the Celica he'd just have put some filler on the cardboard and painted it!

That's a bit yummy. Looking forward to seeing the next step!

That's nice. The only thing that looks off to me is the front wheels could do with being a bit narrower to fit the arch, I don't think the arch should be out any further than it is. The front lip and new sill profile is nice too. It all fits the proportions of the car nicely, when done it'd look almost factory I think.
