also for the clear get a 6ltr kit.

 

aka 4litre clear. 2 1litr hardeners and thin it out 10%

 

that will be enough.

 

you may get away with buying a 4litre tin of basecoat but its always better to have too much than not enough.

well guys huge update here there has been a slight change in the plans and i will let the pictures explain what i mean

basically i now have another ta22 celica which my dad picked up for me and its a much better shell to you as the streetable car and well i am keeping the gun metal shell as well just i wont be putting it on the street the daily is pretty much the cleanest project i have come across it only had rust in the rear drivers side quater and since then has been fixed so basically all the drive line parts iam keeping and using except the motor at this stage as the motor that came in the car runs well and just needs a tune it has a weber carby on there such a score

 

it came as a complete car plus parts that i was missing the only part of the car that was missing was the interior as the guy that had it got the interior repolstered and sold that separately so no big deal really but yea i started doing stuff already the diff has been swapped over and now onto the front suspension as the diff from the other shell had way better bushes and brakes and the whole car will be sitting on superlows looking awsome i even installed my adjustable panarod into her as well i forgot to mention the whole car is in primer just needs some more primer in spots and we can then paint her

 

so its more a less a better body to work with as the other still needs time and yea dad wanted to see me finish it off but we couldnt pass this chance to grab a bargin when we saw it

stay tuned for more progress on this thread

 

pics to come enjoy and i will get better ones when i can

well today's update is that i managed to get the front K-mac camber tops and super low springs and struts from the other car into this beast

also i managed to put the old stuff that was not the best in the gun metal grey one in the front as i want to put it on the ground soon so it has 2 front wheels just got to get around to putting the diff back into it and it should be on the ground

 

i also managed to start the white one and feed it some fuel thou i think i need to go over the motor and stuff needs a tune and will have to save and get the other exhaust put on and use the extractors and it doesnt look to bad sitting on all four MA61's i will have to get some better pics but there is gradual progress guys and girls
