    That 1st pic of the Celica looks fantastic, bar the registration plate, ruins the look. A black Celica does look very mean indeed. Hope you wiped the fingerprints off the doorframe after that girl was touching it, tell her to put her hands somewhere else :twisted: :tongue: !!!!

    I hope it was all in good faith , when she looked at you funny, we should"nt take it too seriously. I went to a car show where an owner was showing his Porsche 924. I asked him if I could sit in it, but he said no one is allowed but him! I didn"t like that atitude, afterall why show your car in the first place? I always let people sit in mine, in fact I feel honoured that they take an interest. I then approached a 944 owner, who was completely different, offering me to sit inside, he even invited me to one of his Porsche meetings.

    I remember my days of playing about with sound systems. I had a pair of sunvisor speakers which I"ve still got, they must be 20 years old as well! Nowadays I don"t bother with sounds, the standard Toyota unit is perfect.

    [​IMG]
    hole filled with bondo

    [​IMG]
    friend welding shut the holes under the car tail light that i couldnt reach with bondo.

    Thats a good pic, the last one. Sounds like you got your own little business there. Ever thought about that young Matt, setting up your own garage ? You"ve definitely got the enthusiasm for tinkering with cars, so why not make money from it.

    Make loads of dollars to spend on our Celicas fingersx
    I"d think I like to be in your country, nice big roads, nice big houses with massive garages. Can you work out how much in UK money, say your house would cost. Mine is a 4 bedroom, detached, double garaged. Cost me £335,000, if I sold it now, might get £420, 000.
