I've got the shaggy luxury ones in the vert, preferred them to the hypermats i had (then sold) and the sports ones, they always showed the dirt on the blue strips (sold them too)

Do they still sell on the Forum?
Not on the forum, since bereavement a smaller operation but can be found here.

What will the poor bloke have to do then?, take her back to metal and start again and re seal the body?. Bound to be options that can help the guy out.
Unfortunately that might be the only option

Maybe that's a reaction to what was underneath, triggered by the heat? paintshop will verify

Well my Celica in still in the garage thanks to Covid-19. I've been keeping the battery charged with slow charger, and it's been kept on wheel cradles. Gotta say, I'm pretty anxious about starting it up again after seven months.
Cant see it'd be much different between gens, here's a pic marking the two boxes i disconnect before turning over the engine 4 or 5 turns if been sitting for a bit. It'll not fire up, gets the oil circulating - then just plug those back in and start up (tip from Bek)
Edit, i cant get pic to upload (message email address if need it)

It is going to
the other thing is seagull crap, that stuff is evil and eats into your paint if you leave it on there. My old mate moved to Dawlish many years back taking her prized black Fiesta XR2 with her, seeing it 6/8 months later was quite shocking

Yeah I’ve asked for clarification because their site suggests going off what they said it should be around £450 max.Their reply:
”Hi Russ
I've suggested that the site needs some clarification and I believe my colleague who does all that stuff is in the process of recreating the site. The prices are for the treatment when there little to no preparation work required (stage 1 / stage 2) and they go up when there is stage 3 or stage 4 corrosion. Your car is a borderline 4 from the amount of fairly major rust present but there aren't any holes or pitting evident. I am confident (based on experience) that there won't be any when I sandblast / air needle.
In terms of the dates, I can book you for the week commencing 17th February with a courtesy car.
Any questions please ask
Regards
Claire”Guess.... they need to update their website then!
I’ll have to book her in, just a lot of cash but then if I intend on keeping her long term then needs to be done.
This car will be the death of me
thankfully I love her so much 
It's difficult to put a max price on their website i would think as it varies so much with how much work needs doing on the prep
But, I am surprised at any garage doing this work or suggesting this work be done at this time of the year. It needs a good long spell of dry weather previously to be sure of there being no moisture trapped

My fifth gen looks better than that underneath
That price isnt a surprise to me, it certainly would need a lot of prep work

Hello my friends!
So my mistress is going in for some work soon and I’ve been keeping a close eye out for the sports lid and cap as I love the look of it, but they seem to be rare and really expensive if you buy direct from Toyota (think it was about £350).
I just wanted to ask if anyone worked for Toyota on here and was able to offer any kind of discount if I ordered via them?
I can but hope!
I think you might have to tell the missus it's £20

I've a couple of bits of the twin core roofing sheets, about 3' x 3' offcuts from a job. Been brilliant for chucking down, and easy to move on to reach further without any effort

Doesnt seem like long since he got it, i'd think that's a bit steep with needing a clutch and the third gear issue etc, when'd it last have cambelt done?
What did he pay for it?

Which car you got? I got gen7 and mines not got a shield.
If anyone is out in your road stealing them there's little to no chance they'll be interested in yours

Been a number of them around here, mostly 4 x 4 vehicles, think as higher off the ground. Parked in drives or outside houses and no one heard anything. Even some done in hospital car parks during the day in some places in Surrey!

My first GT suffered this , had a couple of patches on the roof and there wasnt really an answer to it other than going down the respray route when i was looking. The other alternative which i may have done as a temp solution was to wrap the roof, just to make it look a bit neater, i was just going to do it black and save for proper paintjob - unfortunately it soon after failed mot and got sold for spares so i never did it
