    Update.
    At this point the only thing left to fix was the right side and it was the worst.
    I´ll let the pics do most of the talking.

    I just found some pictures from last winter when I bought those Toyo Garrit G4 studless winter tires.
    possibly one of the best winter tires I´ve ever had.

    Thanks alot guys, I´m very happy with the car.
    It´s looked like this for two summers now and i´m seriously thinking about doing some changes on it the next weeks or months.
    I have alot of ideas on what i want to do with it ;)

    Have you guys ever tried Auto Glym HD wax on your cars.

    [​IMG]

    I tried it Yesterday, and it was better than I dared to hope.
    I went two rounds over the car with carlack 68 polish witch is a pretty good polish an my friend
    gave the HD wax to me and told me to try it an the car basicly changed color.

    this is a crappy picture from my cellphone but even on this photo you can see the shine on this old and used to be ruined paint.

    I have to say that I have never ever waxed my Celica. I use Autoglym Super Resin Polish, followed by Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection which is a sealant that gives it the same shine and protection as wax.

    Yeah I have tried it to and it works really well but i have to say that I like the wax better. lasts longer and I was surprised how easy it was in use compared to other waxes I have tried.

    Does the wax give a better shine than Extra Gloss Protection, or is it the same level of shine ?

    I think the shine is simular on a regular paint, but the paint on my celica was so bad that it´s really hard to get the hood and the top to really shine and the best resault I´ve got is with the HD wax.

    Just went online and spent ALOT of money on the car (x2 what I paid for the car when i bought it)
    I ordered some coilovers and new wheels.
    Dont get me wrong, I like it the way it is now and I love my current wheels but i want to lower it and
    put more retro looking wheels on it.

    Congrats to the baby! August 23 is my birthsday too :)

    Beautiful pictures. Did you mod your taillights to have the brake lamps on the inner sides, or you have fog lamps on both sides?

    Congratulations on your new addition, mother and baby ok ?

    Superb photos as usual. The ones with the crucifix are certainly different.

    Thanks alot. mother and daughter are doing well.
    the taillights were modified by one of the previous owners,
    I thought about taking it out but i like it the way it is.

    It's the same as the JDM lights, there's a light and a brake light on either side of each lens, same on the Mr2 and I'm not sure I like it.
    Having the light/brake grouped like that is confusing to other drivers as they have to decide whether you are braking or not.
    I was driving behind an MR2 without a 3rd brake light tonight and I was confused, only when the brake came on did I know for sure whether he was braking or not

    Nice pics, my you have been busy
