#26 Celica Ta22 Update

Ive known this guy in Bandar Saujana Putra that own an olskool car and he mod an olskool car from nothing to the car that get featured in cover page of local car magazine. He's the kind of guy with creative ideas and he likes doing something new. Which not everyone can think of. Ive decided to let my car to be handle by him. From this point i wasnt thinking to finish this car as soon as possible. But i was thinking to finish this car in as perfect condition as possible. My new theme is olskool with modern touch. To know what it is just stay tuned and just follow my blog. Ill be updating everything in here.

Off to his shop

Still not satisfied with the ride height

Meanwhile i bought some parts. Rear short stroke 8 steps adjustable by TRD and Ultra Racing front lower bar.. i dont know whats the real name is

Tein adjustable front caster

Semi slick tires Federal FZ201 for the 9jj and 10.5jj

Brought my engine there. Thats a skyline by the way. Need more on the skyline anyone?

For this project it will take about a year. As my budget for now is quite tight. Ill be using top of the line parts, genuine parts and more upgraded parts.

For now im slowly collecting original parts such as weatherstrip, chrome lining,  fender mirrors. In my planning when the car finishes i can already install all the parts i bought

For the engine. Maybe.. but maybe i will be using 4 throttle configuration and supported by Haltech stand alone management. Stay tuned for more updates and i hope i can finish this car within this year.

For now it will hibernate till i have the fund to finish up the car.

cheerios

#2 Celica Ta22 Update

I know some of my readers waited for the finishing product. Im glad i could retrieve some of the old pics from my instagram and also my facebook. Im covering the update from where i left it till now. Like usual ill leave with lots of pics because pictures tells everything. And its also a proof and not some bullshit created by a man who wanna show off to his friends but in fact he have nothing.

Enough blabbering. This was quite a long time ago.. i think december 2012 perhaps?

Well some of you may know that the paint job took a whole year. And well... judge the paintjob by yourself

This was the basecoat

 Some colors. Before polish

After polish and exterior fittings

Final touch up should be done. Ive called the tow truck and they still in process installing the parts and some minor touchup

Interior looks decent

Got it back home. After a long long time!

Meanwhile since i sold my 2tg. I drove bout 600km north to pick up this thing. In a day. That was a tiring day! But its worth it. This thing makes the car more special than it already is :)

That means its time to get my hands dirty and work some stuff out. DIY style like usual. It was a long time i didnt get my hands dirty and i really glad that i did the whole thing quite alright i guess. 

Will proceed to the next post which i will show some stuffs that cost me lots of $$$ and took me like 4 months as i did all of those thing only on my weekends.
