Ganjasaur Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Ok so who has a genuine or replica GT front lip for there celica? I am keen to get a a plug made if someone will supply something to work with. Ok new house now. So that means i got a new shed YAY no more carport mechanics. So the projects commences again for the 2nd time. This time hopefully without hickups......(or just little ones) With the engine out and getting tickled up at the local engine reconditioner. Now I am stuck wondering Original or Tastefull Custom interior. Any ideas or comments about staying stock or going custom with a old school car? Should I get side mirrors or stay with them shaved off. Anyone go pics of there celicas side mirrors? What kind do you have original or off other cars? here is a pic well enough talking.....time to start stripping this car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullitt Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I recommend mirrors on the guards. Just about all Jap cars from the 70s suit them. Its what Im doing with my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defective Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I recommend mirrors on the guards. Just about all Jap cars from the 70s suit them.Its what Im doing with my car nah, fit xb falcon mirrors to the doors. they are probably the nicest of all oldschool factory mirrirs. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motor ... 791615.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I recommend mirrors on the guards.

Some tasteful bullet style chrome ones would go down alright, you could place them where-ever you wanted, door or fender, but my preference is fender mirrors, I got some for my C110 and my 910 already had some, (which are electric, AND WORK! ) In regards to interior modifications, if it was me, I would stay pretty close to factory, only changing what is necessary if you can't find NOS etc. Remember, they did make sports seats etc. back in the 70's so some period race seats would also look damn good and suit the car.

Bullitt Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Yeah I agree regarding interior mods. Heres a set of factory nissan race seats from the 70s (so Ive been told at least). Good luck finding anything similar though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushrod Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 yep id go with some nice chrome bullet ones but I dont really think they would suit the rest of the car on the fenders In saying that they look cool on Kytelers car but hes got that whole jdm style thing going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganjasaur Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 at the moment the recaro reclinables (ex evo 1 or 2) suit me fine. I was talking more about custom dash and door skins. I like the falcon mirrors and the chrome tear drop ones are nice too. But it still looks nice without so hmmmmmmmmm time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Whatever kyteler, you mean wait till you get the RB26DETT Wel, there's that, but from the outside you won't know it's got one of those in it, and being most people will only get to see the back of it, maybe I shoulldn't bother with a front mount oil cooler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
