S.A.S Celica (loads of pics)
Well its taken close to a month but its finished.
This one was a real test of my skills (mostly due to me being over ambitious).
The SAS kit went on well, after I had removed the old trim and most of my thumb .
Then I picked the car up to admire the paint job only to find it wasn't fully dry .. Sand, respray!!
Then the 18" yokohama's wheels wouldn't fit (FAQ female to male thread helped me there ).
Plus I didn't like the stock breaks and had an old set of GT car ones hanging around... After 48hrs of swearing I got them to fit!

In the end its turned out to be one of my fav cars. Hence load of pics.
Specs:
Full S.A.S body kit with GT - Wing
The paint is an auto VW pearlesent red (shows up well in the right light).
18" yokohama's
Break mod from a Nismo R33 GT
Scratch built exhaust/muffler. (My first one)..

Still thinking of lowering it (somehow) when I get the time...

Awesome paint job.
If you can lower it and tuck the wheels in abit more, will make it look so much better for a tough look

Superb job!!! Nice paint job and seemless fitment of the kit. How did you do the sunroof? IMO needs a bit of lowering.

That looks great! I too love the color
This is a kit I have gone back and forth on about buying as I do love these cars.
Thanks for the pics of your great build!

Very Nice
The colour, The wing, The wheels, The shine, Totally awesome.
I think the ride height is fine, I'm not a fan of evey car being slammed to the floor.
Was the paint Halfords with a few coats of clear?
Whats next, as I enjoy viewing your models

Awesome paint! I love the colour! I think you should thin the front wheels a little bit so they fit under the guards well, I don't think you need to lower it much but it would look alot better if the front wheels were under the guards.
