Well I had the day off work, and the snow here is crappy right now. So instead of snowboarding, I brought the car in the shop to start shreddin!



So apparently, the previous owner of my car had the transmission serviced. The next day, he hit a slick spot on the road and ended up spinning out and hitting a guard rail with both front corners and the rear driver side quarter.





Damage was minimal. No major front end damage. So I decided to start tearing into it.





Thats about 20 pounds of sound deadening material.

More pics up soon

 

What are your plans?

 

^^^ same question.. good start btw

 

based on the fact that he gutted it, and removed the sound deadening material, i assume drift car.

 

Thanks! My plans are to get the cage welded in first. Remove the v8 and build something else. Get suspension and brakes and safety gear. Then take it to the road race course. I live 30 minutes from the Miller Motorsports Park. There may be a little drifting involved on occasion Oh and hopefully some mean rolling burnouts!

 

Thats a good start! I love reading this threads, from start to finish. GL on your build and take a bunch of pictures.

 

Interesting

 

Sounds like a good plan. Can't wait to see that cage

 

Do the exact same thing to my car at the moment. 2" of insulation was appauling to me. I was going to leave the carpet before I realized how heavy the chunk I pulled back was. Its all coming out.

 

Oh, btw.... What seats are you going to use? Im planning on picking up some celica seats and hardware from the Jyard.

 

Thanks! And thanks for checking out my thread. I will be updating pics shortly.

 

Neither can I ! Hopefully this month I will get supplies and get going on it.

 

AWESOME!!! Yeah get rid of all that old crap!

I had a RACETECH seat in one of my old cars, so I might go with another one of those. Do the Celica seats bolt in to the SC?
