Fantastic Dee, that photo really shows of the colour

Thanks fella appreciate it

Thing looks absolutely mint

Thank you bud. Its in need of a good machine polish, still some heavier swirls and blemishes from being painted etc but will hold out for the better weather I think

Nice, Did you get a Genuine TTE lip or one of the after market remanufactured ones?? Car looks awesome.

It's a remanufactured one. Could not get a genuine one at all. It's a brilliant fit you'd be none the wiser to be honest, wouldn't mind a trd rear one aswell

Latest purchase was a carbon gear surround from rhi Australia, really love the look of it and it compliments the quickshift and weighted gear knob well

Also done away with the after market stereo and opted for the factory gt spec radio with built in 6 disc changer as I also got my hand on a factory optional subwoofer which would only work on an oem stereo without faffing about, its all about the genuine options il update with pics when I'm in the car next

Amazing work Dee, the colour is amazing. I remember looking for one of these before I bought my 182 back in the day but couldn't find a clean one anywhere in NI.

Loving these updates, my favourite car on the site. Always wanted one and had it in my mind I'd buy one but seeing the amount of work going into this makes me think that it's too late already and that age hasn't been kind to them.

@Dee said to you on Instagram but gotta say again that surround is class want one myself but I've just spent a small fortune already on bits for mine...

Wish my blue edition seats looked even half that tidy. Whole car is a huge credit to you, lovely motor

That's lovely.

I think my mum rented the house beside you for a year, a couple of years back

Thank you really appreciate it. Its been a labour of love and still needing bits yet but you're right time hasn't been kind to them and a lot of people drive them with the attitude "it's a toyota they don't break" and things tend to get overlooked so getting good ones is very difficult, but il certainly give you any help I can if you ever see one to buy

Yeah makes all the difference for something so simple, I was fairly lucky getting these seats in this condition, I think the lady owner before literally had no one in the car ever

Hey Dave,

I have been looking for a Celica 190, they seem few and far between over here. So looks like it will be the mainland when the time comes.

My question is, are they all rotten underneath?

Good thing about buying from England are the English mot history online.

Cars advertised as great condition all seem to have heavy corrosion on suspension and subframes as either previous fails or advisories.

(Also do these twats not know the mot histories are available online?)

Cheers,

Warren.

I don't mind the work, but this will by my daily driver.
