Well... She's arrived!!!

[CelicaLincs]

She turned up yesterday, admittedly when I collected her. But now got to wait for my ins cert before I can tax her.

Stupid company won't e-mail a cover note or certificate, but will fax one for £9.50!!!!

Anyway, only pic I've got so far...



Then this arrived today for her. Her first little pressie...

lovely car

loose the badge on the wing

i would put the stock rims on it, or the 5 spoke rally rims on it, those modern ones are too fussy imo and look out of place

[TheHeretic]

I had a big old double din Carrozzeria stereo in my MR2. Bloody lovely thing it was! Nice Celica! Hope you enjoy.

[CelicaLincs]

I admit, those badges look a bit out of place. I was perhaps going to see if I could incorporate them into the side repeaters, but think that might be too much like hard work.

[Manicminer]

I do like that, post up some more pics when you get them.

[Mastodon2]

I agree with the above, lose the badge on the wing and put some retro 90s wheels on it. The current ones do look way too fussy for the clean, smooth Japanese styling of the rest of the car.

Otherwise, excellent!

Take it thats its a GT with a GT4 bonnet & bumper fitted.
Looks nice though

[thebigmacmoomin]

Apart from the wheels, I like it.

Sorry, my bad. She's a UK spec GT with GT4 bonnet and bumpers on.

Lose the wheels and the badge and that will be a decent looking car. Very well made, the older Toyotas.

Aye - what gave it away was the wring indicators in the GT4 bumper - so i then looked at the brakes and saw they were not GT4 ones.
Good reliable cars though in GT spec and not as expensive to run as the GT4

really love these cars and yours seems a great example, i like the bumper is it a c-one original or a replica splitter on the standard bumper? looks great either way. had a gtfour myself but just swapped for a r33, i think a subtle set of multispokes would look great, maybe 18s with a set of rear spacers to fill the wide rear arches.
heres a pic of mine with the wheels im talking about for an idea, although these were only 17s so a bit too small and i didnt want to space the rears with it being 4wd and fully alligned

And would you believe I bagged her for a paltry £600!?!?

She does look like she's running a little narrow on the back so they'll probably get spaced at some point.

That's a cracking bargain and a lovely looking motor too. Enjoy!

[DanDC5]

Would look gorgeous with some white Compomotive MO's on it

[95 fiesta si]

spec ?
