New Celica

yup thanks to Fly the celica project is back on with a new twist.

It is to be completed using the celica transkit as seen on these forums. The standard celica wing is going to be ditched in favour of the wing off of an R32 GTR (just to be different). The car will be painted in tamyias metallic red (I love this color) and probably end up sitting (maybe lowered) on Fujimis Speedline wheels (painted silver).

the kit fitted:

COMMENTS??

That wing actually suits it quite nicely :)

Can't wait to see it finished :D

Swwweeet!!! Your steps ahead of mine already, this is exciting! I agree the wing suits it well.

that's gonna be pretty darned sweet when you get it finished!!!:sun: :sun: :sun:

BEAUTIFUL STYLE!
I also think metallic red is much well to this car.
Uuum this latest Celica gonna be stylish car! ;)

im gonna get that celica body kit after christmas

i love it

Looks like its going to look great.The wing fits perfectly on the Celica and it looks good to.

sweet. It seems my idea with the wing is well supported :D

On it goes

Looks sweet!

Looking good so far...yes, the wing does like good, nice idea

Nice choice on a body kit! Looks awesome so far, metallic red will definatly suit this car!

here is the underneath of the car. First attempt at trying to achieve a "used" look. I feel its getting there but it just needs a little something.

I take it you mean the rear wing?

It is the rear spoiler off of a Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R

No i mean the yellow shit on the inside of the car and outside on bumper

that is tamyia putty. It fixes the kit on more solidly than glue alone and also fills in any gaps due to me cutting in the wrong place

Underside of car now completed just have to give the body another coat of primer and then begin on the metallic red body clolour.

One quick question: "should the rear wing remain white or also be painted red?"

it needs a new exhaust! the current one is a little bit rusty!:D nice work on the weathering, looks brilliant!

yeah it must have had a tough life as it could only be 2 years old:eek:

I say paint it red.

here is the first shot of the "almost finished painting" exterior test fit on the chassis.

So far so good

Looking very nice so far!

Looks nice but you need to drop it and put bigger rims on it. Other than that it nice

Exactly what I was thinking. :D

I have not lowered a car yet so I'll wait and see what it looks like on a larger set of rims (the second set that came with the tamiya Porshe Boxster). Hopefully these will look "right" until the AVS model 5's arrive cos I don't want to lowwer it until then.

Currently watching paint dry and its xmas day here tomorrow so won't get any work done or photos done for a couple of days.

Looking reallt nice. You painted the rear wing red also? and yes bigger wheels is what it should get, agreed.

where did you get that body kit from. Im very interested in buying one.

The kit was purchased from www.scaleautostyle.com (http://www.scaleautostyle.com) made by the one and only FLYONTHEWALL Chris is a legend when it comes to resin kits

well here it is with the wheels off of the porshe boxster. Not lowered at all

Those rims look quite good on it. Will you be adding a clear coat? From the pic, there doesn't seem to be much of a shine to it.

haven't thought about that yet. It will probably get a coat of clear

Always best with Mica's and Metalics

thanks for the advice Fly. I will definately clear coat it then

worked on getting the car finished today. All that is left is to attach the tail lights, paint the GT-R wing and the standard wing mirrors.

the last 2 should have been finished by now but the primer got coated (whilst still wet) with MDF dust:( so I have to sand them back, re primer and then paint them. The tail lights will be dry soon and attached tomorrow.

I'm impressed, the color looks awesome in that color! Can't wait to see the finished product!

It is coming along well, good job.

Looks great, hope its finished tomorrow.

:cool:

Love the colour....looking real good so far....looking forward to seeing it all done

I have to agree with the others here. Very nice!

Don't forget to do the door panels ;)

Hehe, what a good way to burn time.....

It's looking very good indeed.
I've just started mine 2 days ago.
I also want to put a different rear spoiler, but at the moment not sure which, tried a standard Supra wing but not sure, if it looks right.

Excellent job Taz, you've done me proud man!;) We'll have to get this added to the SAS gallery soon.

That looks great Taz, the 3rd photo really shows the sharp lines of the new Celica very well.
