Toyota Celica GT Four - 1992 Tour de Corse
Some years ago, I wrote an article about the building of a rally diorama featuring the Celica... If you are interested you can find it here ("back issues", august 2001)

Very nice Celica and diorama Sannake! And it tells a story Guido
 Did you hinge the door or fix it open? Looks like the Hasegawa kit? P.S. is the 917K you're building the old Heller/Union kit or one of the new resin LMM or Profil24 jobs?

Maybe you overlooked it but is it a resin door mod or did you just cut out the door? Sorry for asking again. I try to look the article up, but was not able to find it  me with my double vision...

Lazy as I am, I will cut and paste the text of the old article, and if you would have extra questions, feel free to ask them ok? Here we go : Toyota Celica GT4 Hasegawa 1/24 : The car is the Toyota Celica GT4 that entered the 1992 Tour de Corse rally. Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya tried to keep the Lancia's from winning it, without success. Ariol won the rally in a Lancia Delta Integrale. Sainz came in fourth. The model is a Hasegawa 1/24 car, which I had to alter and improve on some points. The model : First I had to replace the missing cigarette advertising like Marlboro and Gitanes. I also added decals to the wheels. (O.Z. racing). Then I had to remove the Toyota-emblem both at front and rear sides, I took off the blinkers at the left and right sides, and I removed the rear water sprinkler. Furthermore I had to fill the hole where the rear wiper had been, and I had to fill up the lines from the area where the saloon-car gets filled up with gas. Then I started to saw out the left door both from the outside hull and the inside one. I glued both the doors (outside and inside panel) together and filled up the holes, as I did with the door opening from the car itself. I added handles, window openers and a window because the plastic of the kit is way too thick, which becomes visible when you open a door. I also added some extra details such as brake, clutch and gas pedals, some inside wiring, race notes for the co-pilot, an intercom-system, foot mats, and I added some fiberglass-looking decals at the rear of the seats. The seat belts come with the kit! I drilled out the holes from the front left wheel, and I added a more detailed braking disc. I also scratchbuilt a jack. Last but not least I altered some Racing Mechanics from Hasegawa to fit the scene. Pictures :
