    Great job. Did a fantastic job on the lights by hand. I had one of these new in 2005 tempted to get another. The Thunder grey is a really good colour.

    This shape has aged well. Still looks good. Loved my midnight blue T Sport. Hopefully, this car hasn't too much rust underneath which affects many. A 1 owner car with low mileage and in good condition fetches good money. I enjoyed seeing you restore its exterior to its former glory.

    • @MrTechstyle
      @MrTechstyle  9 місяців тому

      I have to agree, it’s really grown on me, never really saw it as worthy of the Celica name given the rally pedigree of its predecessor though. Should this car have had a name of its own not associated with what came before. 🍿🫣

      No, thank you, I appreciate the support. In general I was surprised by the build quality everything came up well, needed quite a bit of mechanical stuff but nothing you wouldn’t expect to have to do to a car of this age.

      When I first saw it I thought, yes this will make a good video but I didn't really like the cars styling, by the time I'd finished the job in part 2, I really liked it, but the same thing seems to happen with every car I do, the more time I spend on it the more I like them. I have never washed a Fiat Multipla, can't see me ever liking that. Thanks for watching, if you like this sort of thing I done another extraction video for a Renault Megan convertible, check it out in my video list. Thanks again.

    That's some transformation, looks really well, looking forward to part 3 to see what it's like underneath. The fuel filler neck goes on them, and you'll most likely need to replace brakes front and back, but hopefully you will get away without too much welding.

      It really is rewarding and crazy how you can look at a car and think oh that's not worth much then spend a few hours on it and looks a million bucks (well maybe not quite that much but you know what I mean). Thanks for watching, will bring you more videos soon.

    Why would someone leave a car for 8 years just because of a flat battery?

    • @MrTechstyle
      @MrTechstyle  10 місяців тому +1

      It was an elderly couple, her car I believe, they said they had had the battery replaced but the new one had also gone flat at some point in the distant past. They had two other vehicles so I guess when they couldn’t move this one because the brakes were seized it didn’t restrict their ability to get out so there it stood. It’ll go on to be a nice car for the next person.

      1) It still looks modern even though it's a 20 year old design.
      2) It's a Toyota who have a legendary reliability record.
      3) It looks great
      4) It's cheap to buy and run in comparison with most other coupes
      5) The load carrying ability is superb
      6) It's fast. Yes there are faster cars out there but usually at a higher price and the Celica is as fast as you need for public roads
      7) It has usable rear seats considering it's a coupe
      8) It's a future classic
      9) It's perfectly happy doing the shopping run as it is crossing continents
      10) It's not a complicated car

      @MrTechstyle  10 місяців тому

      You’re not wrong I wouldn’t want to push those tyres, both rear springs were snapped, you can see the rear is sitting low, looked kinda good but totally unsafe. The new owner has replaced rear springs dampers plus discs and pads all round.

      in this one the collapsed rear suspension made it a little firm but I did like the way it sat lower at the back. Latest video on a Renault Megan "Extraction" now available in the video list. Thanks for watching.
