    Fairly on point lad!

    The blackened headlights really make it.

    I think I managed to get reg plates that are fairly spot on to yours in the end :pac:

    You've all seen it before, but you're about to see it again. gave it a good going over this evening and gave it another nice coat of sealant and really enjoyed my time around the car. it has a sort of beauty that i see in it, that i'm pretty sure nobody else can see, i just catch it at the right angle sometimes and it looks absolutely savage to me, i'm sure car guys know what i mean... anyway, i set out with my DSLR, all the gear, no idea, to try and catch a photo of what i see. it didn't go well, but here are the results.

    sure, it's had more hits than Elvis, the bonnet is now wayyyy out of line from spending so much time propped open recently :rolleyes: the front end is stone chipped to bits, the wheels are kerbed as ****, it has a raft of car park dents, some minor rust spots, the lacquer is peeling on the spoiler and it has had several previous repairs (some better than others) and that's just the exterior but my oh my i love it!

    i would pay stupid money for a set of these corner lights on the bumper, i think they would really suit the car. every Celica i find for breaking seems to have one broken though :(

    Those lights look US spec.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,655 ✭✭✭CIP4


    @tfb you have the car looks great :) Actually I always like that shape Celica for as long I can remember. I think the digital fuel / coolant temperature gauge is cool on them just from your picture does the odometer show up on that display too you flick through it is it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 217 ✭✭DoctorStrange


    I love a full fuel gauge, strangely satisfying, like the car is ready to go for a good spin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭GvidoR


    The Celica looks great indeed, TFB.

    So clean. Great photos too. Much better than my potato phone camera. :P

    That shape has grown on me an awful lot in recent years to be fair. Lovely looking motor.

    where do you get the energy pickles!

    i have so many proper jobs to do on the Celica yet every time i have a free minute with it, i end up cleaning it. Then i sign in here and see you have turned another Saab inside out, you're some man for punishment!

    you've came a long way from the holy Astra.

    That astra is still with us :D and its many many stories :rolleyes:

    I usually set aside a day, ignore everything with a pulse and just get stuck straight in,with a half arsed plan in my head, it usually does the trick! I love tearing things apart and putting them back together, and somewhat fixing bits and bobs in along the way too, i literally know the car inside out now :P

    Any story with a meet soon? I want to bring this along

    Nice feature, I had a prelude with that, in centre between driver and passenger, very cool, last model preludes didn't have it IIRC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,822 ✭✭✭rizzee


    That's a lovely Celica. Miss my old one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,728 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    That's a bloody beauty!
    What went wrong, what's with the Puntos? :p

    Thanks! I had the Celica and Megane coupe at the same time... Only had the C about a month and sold it on, needed a shock and few bits and bobs but was a cool car :)

    I'll always love my Puntos :p Just like most Italian cars :) Although my next car will definitely be something different, just for a change.

    Edit: Found some more pictures:

    State of that plate ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭GvidoR


    People seem to care way too much about the look of the plates on this forum, it seems.

    You get those new plates yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭GvidoR

    No.

    I've been driving the Punto for the last little while and the engine is not yet replaced in the Golf. I think an engine is a little more important than the plates.
