matt_spitfire Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yeah man stupid iPhone and shit light, I'm sorting out the exhaust at the moment so the car is jacked up on axel stands but as soon as that's finished then I'll drop it back down and roll it outside and get some decent photos. the panels are sitting in the house so they done get knocked or damaged in the shed. Did you get some restored panels too? I got a call from Pbt asking if I was getting some stuff from restored sent to palmy or Hamilton as well as Nelson, can't remember which place it was now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yeah, your guards were wrapped up with mine, got guards, bonnet and a few other bits and pieces. Mine are still in Dorkland, will be enroute when possible. Pretty excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Yeah, 1 of these but in full FRP, not carbon sadly. and a pair of these: They'll match the boot-lid I already have. I also managed to get this over via EMS so it arrived ages ago. Not sure what PBT was on about with it's other P.North lark though, sounds more like they fucked up because my stuff was only ever destined to sit in Dorkland until I could figure out getting it down. Luckily I have a contact with TNL though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily I have a contact with TNL though. Youll be stoked when you get them man! can believe how light they are compared to the factory panels aswell! i was tempted by the carbon fibre panels but theyre not cheap. I noticed restored were doing frp bits of trim now aswell, i would have got some bumpers and hood vents if they were available when i ordered my bonnets and guards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_spitfire Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 looking good man have to come check it out in the flesh sometime Yeah man for sure, just flick me a txt sometime and come check it out.

sleeektoy Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Just thought i'd post this up here for Matt. Some may know of his issues with getting this awesome celica re-registered but to cut a long story short, there is no history of this car known in the LTNZ database Would anyone know its rego number, or any history prior to this trademe auction in 2009?? Matt has tried to get info from this person but no luck there - just wanting anything that might help get it registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim13 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 not sure if it will help but I recently had a car that with no plates etc just chassis number and they could track through that , it got interesting because we knew the car had been road legal here but the chassis number (as stamped on the car) wasn't on file ! as we eventually found out it was because it had been miss-entered when new (car was a 1999) we got a helpful person a vtnz who figured it out , I have since found I could enter chassis number into carjam and figure it out that way too , carjam as many different variations of chassis number (0 for o , 5 and s i and 1 etc . in my case they had reversed some numbers 123 instead of 231) and see what you find , good luck !

sheepers Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 had the same issue with the crown. they entered the engine number in place of the chassis number and vice versa. i didn't have the engine number but i had the chassis number and we eventually figured it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
