Not a star... yet

So i finally towed the car back home after a month of awful works and dealing with the idiotic body shop owner who even scared to remove the windscreen nor paint the car.

So the car goes home 'naked'.


So while the car is at home, im planning to strip the car.


By removing the paint

And send them to undercoat

Which would consume much more time and energy

And to remove the tar and paint in the interior

The works will continue to the floor pan. Needs to repaint them

By grinding the excessive rusts first

And ill try to finish the job by the end of this month.

Just like a star

History is a beautiful story , a story that makes us a better person . A story that we learnt a lot from our past mistakes , and a story that we can be proud of.

And some piece of history is a legend . In automotive form , there is Ford Model T , the first ever production car that shooked the world. Volkswagen Beetle , the car build for everybody and this little thing that people always overlooked , the Toyota Celica . And i just bought it.



This piece of history was parked under a palm tree , waiting to be killed by rust. And it is just sad to see it destroyed instead of being taken care like the old days.

This car shaped our automotive industries , the amount of flaws in this car is countless! Thats where we learned every mistakes and make it better on newer cars.



This car is simple , nostalgic . It was build with heart and soul , not for profit. And it is a honour to restore this piece of history just like the older days.



Some people may think why in the world would i restore this rust bucket instead of getting a decent car with the same amount of money.

Well the answer is simple , i wanna learn to build a car with my heart and soul , just like the old engineers that build this car.



Little thing did i think, I made my decision to rebuild this piece of beauty.

And it is towed away to be a star
