Celica Forums General Discussion General THE FINAL BUILD! 2004 Celica

So I thought I would start this thread over and add some pictures. I am a photographer by trade and while shoot my car when it is done for multiple magazines. Yes My car will be kinda a themed car. I am an automotive photog so I figured I would use it as advertising... so here is a little about me... More coming in time

So after a long time and two wrecks by my X Wife and now a new wife and a thousand changes in my life. I am going to build this damn celica for the last time. I have owned it since December of 2003. It is a 2004 Celica GT with manual transmission. Never bought it be fast just liked the look. I never planned on still having it 13 years later but what the hell. So I have built it completely twice. It has around 70000 miles and has been completely repainted twice. This will be the last time but it might get a wrap this time. I worked for a company for 2 years that does wraps and I have see what they can do.... Have not decided on that... tons of other things to finsh first.

NOW REMEMBER... I am building this POS for me and I have my own goals to take this way to far and do some pretty silly things to it but what the hell.... So I know some will hate and some will say stuff but So is life! It is mine. I finally have the money to finish it AGAIN and thought I would get really crazy! One of a kinda... So glad to see some of these pages still active! I will post pics soon, I found my old Cardomain site and looking up my newcelica.org stuff but that was all photobucket so all that is gone. I will shoot some new pics soon... Gutting the car now.

I added a bunch of images from the last 12 years to drop box and will add some now. Lets start with what it looks like now... OMG IT IS SCARY!!!!

The first four images are from after paint the first go round.....

These are after it was wrecked and I needed a new body kit.

Then 4 years ago I parked her, took all the fluids out and that is where she sat, TIME FOR THE REBUILD... I sander her completely down and molding everything on and shaving everything extra off...

Lots of other things too.

AND this is what I do for a living!
