I love alcantara seats, but I found this fabric for way cheaper and it brings the same look. But it is not alcantara.

Thanks.

Some minor things to be touched up, but this gives you an idea how it will look. The material is the same as the seats, kinda feels like suede.

Port will be painted black, a grill will be made. One more door to go...5 days to competition!

You've got serious skills.

Nice work on this Celica. The steering wheel looks marvellous :)

 

You did not tell us how does it sound ? How do you like the neo 10 in this enclosure ?

And where are the horns/tweeters ? I'd like to see them installed !

I would love to give you guys some input on how they sound, but I have yet to put them on some serious power.

Short on money I am slowly getting there and then I'll pick up a 4 chan and some speakers for the highs, not sure what yet. There are tweeters,  behind the side mirrors, not the best tho. All is powered by the HU.

Thanks for the words.

Your interior skills are amazing man. I love good interior work. Changes everything!

Several weeks ago after a good wash the last thing I wanted was to hit a wall while backing up. Well it happen and things snowballed from there.

The damage was much worse, but this is after some hammering.

After a few days of welding, putty, sanding and paint this is what I ended up with.

 

Filler relocation

Gas tank cover gone

Washer and wiper blade gone too.

If you see some color difference, well the paint is 16y old, and I am going from gloss to matte white.

Blinkers too. You can see it pretty good considering how black they are.

Clear coat mixed with black paint.

Thank, man. I had a bit of help tho, since body work was an unknown area for me.
