I managed to get back into the garage and make a start on the bottom end, after getting my hands on some over size bearings. Check out the video below!

Sorry for the lack of updates as of late..... no excuses, I've been lazy. So..... big things are going on in the background. The Celica project has been a headache.Its currently up on my ramp and not moving due to an electrical fault that shorted out some wires in the dash. This damaged the ignition and starter circuit wires. Ive currently managed to find a replacement loom and need to muster up the courage to rip the dash out and install. Moving on...... I did a fantastic track day in the scooby, and the car performed solidly on the track. 12 hard laps and zero brake fade. The fluid and brake lines upgrades I made really helped for the sustained hard driving. So, Im also starting to expand what I do on Instagram and the blog....... Im going to start importing vehicles and selling them on the blog, again, only focusing on Subarus...... so keep an eye out on my Instagram for the next project available for sale soon.

Anyway, the Celica was stripped back to bare metal and it was actually in great shape with only 2 little points of interest: A previous weld repair to drivers door (so smooth you couldn’t tell with paint) Also, a rusty bit in the rear drivers wheel arch near the mud flap. The body shop quickly cropped this and welded in new metal and got the car coated in etch primer. They also gave me a list of various small items that broke during the strip down. It turns out, little bits of trim and other associated body parts are becoming INCREDIBLY difficult t...
