daytona

I am a total sad basket. I saw the photo in the last post and went OOOooo! I have that slow cooker. . . I need more holiday............

If you want a car that looks like Barbara Streisand slapped in the face with a wet fish then this is for you.............................

1977 first car. Overtook a Porche on way back from Scarborough. Yes it was down hill.

callper carrier final bit to arrive. Busy weekend ahead!

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFinally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has arrived Last bit of the jigsaw

Can't justify full respray but hope to get bonnet and bumper done over the winter.

Oh stinky poop poops Baz! I always like to start the season with at least some effort shown. On the bright side I have also had some headlight sealant not arrive. From messages now appearing it seems both items sent but Hermes decided to wait until Bank hols to try and deliver them to an office address. Allegedly should be here today................ oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze, pretty please?

Ordered brake calliper carrier 26/4 via ebay / paypal. Money gone. No calliper. Usual ebay action started but as yet no reply. Anyone else had problems with these people? Really needed by this weekend or whole avensis upgrade for Japday scuppered grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr other carrier ordered from aj spares arrived 28/4

Cars are for driving........... This does glittery sun too!

more appropriately to my age................

Bought One Got One Free! So in the last few days Headlight inserts, avensis calipers,, 1 avensis carrier, heat gun, clear mastic, Caliper slider kit. Awaiting Headlight units and headlight uv sealant. Tum te tum.

Glad you are pleased

Probably cos knucklethumbs will manage to fit them upside down and back to front! Fortunately Vin has done a nice little "How to" which has been pinned. and it would appear I am refitting the very same inserts!

Storm blue headlight inserts from Vin NL. Thank you Vin. They are superb and no, the photos do not do them justice.

Pic of bald old chubby not giving a flying feck........ :P

Snow capped mountains????? That's the Riviera Rascal Rogered then.

I have seen many Pheonix jobs over the last few years but until it's official...........meh!

In good nick with a 12 month ticket and good history up to about 2k http://www.wisebuyers.co.uk/index.jsp?guide=prices&page=used_cars&no=3&make=Toyota&model=Celica+%281999-06%29&vip=13394&yearplate=2003%2F03&mileage=119&x=43&y=5 GLWTS

All I need now is a set of lights to use it on! Nice of them to send it in a Billy size transport box too. He is off to join the Wales Gen 5 trip at lunchtime. He is soooo excited!!!

Can't go wrong with Rota style Baz Still think you could do your own for 100 tho . If you have the case keep the old ones tho and sell the rota separate when you bin the car. I would have done..........but no space so they are now lurid metallic pink and in Cornwall...............

Your car, your cash, your call......... but bang for buck aerosol the existing ones first. ie have a practice on the spare. Then if you are not happy splash the cash. We drive daily and will mark them up on potholes and kerbs. Unless of course you can be flash like Kev and change them to match the colour of the pants you are wearing that day! I got mine re-furbed because there were chunks out of the spokes and rims. I didn't actually like the colour they ended up so believe it or not this is as rattle canned by yours truly! Ye of little faith. Unless it's a show car you don't see the insides so you will only need a couple of coats. Also if you do them yourself and keep some paint back, you cry a lot less when you do kerb them.

a day late. Worrever

Not that I'm counting, but 2 years 360 days Paid £12 to find out what a 190 was as I knew nothing. I now know almost nothing, which is a huge improvement. Was a one owner 56k miler 100% stock. Now73k with a handful of tweeks. I have never owned a car for 3 years before yet don't see me selling in the next 3 either. Total involuntary spending £30 on a new rad. Marvellous! Pics, the day I got her, Gardano car park from the Weston meet a couple of years ago, and a chilly New Forest meet yesterday.

Wheels depend on whether they have been recently refurbed and quality of tyre. Around 250 a cheap set or 400 a good set when I was looking. Auris knob is a popular and cheapish swap at Least I think that is what Gerraint T had is his. Check out his mod thread. If you have a day to spare )

Wasn't that thing washed up on a beach somewhere recently?
