woohooo... well done on the Mot matey am hoping to get this painted and be at the show too... will get in touch closer the time . iof the weathers as good as it has been this week , it should be a good day out made a bit of progress, a bit slow but getting there. stripped the lights and bumpers off lots of rubbing down and filling then some primer then cleared enough space to get around the car and got it up on axle stands- i painted my first celica years ago.. looked ok untill i noticed how thin the paint was along the sills. so don't wanna make that mistake again more flatting, more primer, more flatting and yep.. more primer think this is it now tho. got some more primer on tonight , will rub it down after work tomorrow and hopefully thats it. just gotta bodge me makeshift booth up and with a bit of luck will paint it on saturday. tax on monday and back on the road for the summer- well, untill the Mot a week later

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH thats kinda typical. am in process of getting mine ready for paint, its gonna be gloss black.... but my cunning plan was all the chrome in gloss black too.... would be different i thought, not seen one like that. knickers. he even has the same mirrors as mine though am now fitting these that does look pretty awesome tho- shame the us spec ones had to have the bigger bumpers if mine looks 1/10th as cool as that when finished ill be happy

good advice il just spend the £10 I have had these same ebay coilovers on my Saxo VTS and I thought they were great. I took the car to brands hatch and it handled a dream! Hence I thought id try them out on the Teg.. fair enough matey, maybe the springs in mine were too hard- or I'm too old. hope it turns out well.. updatr this and let us know how it goes

for the sake of a tenner id get some clamps, will need them if you decide you want to put the originals back on, i had a set of the ebay coilovers like those, put them on my mx5 , it was horrific, made me feelill riding in it, the mrs hated it and refused to go in it, the ride was soo hard, and every bump almost threw me out my seat. i have same sorta set on the front of my celica, this is too firm also, but not as bad as with the spazda but i put shorter shocks in. hope it was just mine and yours is ok but either way, a lot easier- and safer! with compressors

about 2 years ago the dvla came and took 2 cars from outside the garage next door to me, the cars were in for mot, driven there without tax- as you are allowed to do, but parked outside on the road, took both cars away, the garage then had to pay £105 each for the cars to get them back for the customers! its ridiculous.

cheers ladies, got a tiny bit more done wanted to smooth out where the side indicators go. the factory ones are big clumsy looking things. i got a pair of us spec ones a few years ago a bit flusher but still a bit meh. also had holes left where the door mirors off welded the holes up... got carried away and forgot to get more pics anyhow... reason for removing the door mirrors was to fit these. Ex MM jdm via kfw ftw love em... will look better when in the same colour as the body got some more flatting down done today hopefully be ready to slap some paint on next weekend.
