finally seen the light and bought a 5th gen

[littlefeller]

It's getting broken because it's got rotten arches just like most 4ths. Age has now got to the 5ths and all those who take the body lemonade out of 4ths arches won't be laughing much longer. Group buys for arches are already on the go and I've done some work on a couple of 5ths that are quite crusty underneath. When I pull this apart I'll take some photos of the nasty bits for all to investigate the areas affected and maybe treat them before its too late. I don't need arches for my plan for the shell

oWW 5th Gen rear end on a 4th Gen. Could be sex. I await wednesday.

how could you. you cant loose the curves of the 4th and think its an improvement, shame on you yep rust is a pig. like i always say - if the body is starting to rust then forget it its fooked. take no notice of my pic, you CANT pollish a turd

Curves of a 4th gen as the same as a Celica.
I much prefer the light and shadow design theme of the 5th Gen. More timeless.

[littlefeller]

go and stand in the corner and think about what you just said 5ths are still fogie cars . period.
although i will point out that if all 4ths biodegrade i wouldnt say no to a 5th but they too will go the same way ally car anyone

i never said i was. and as for rust nothing is unrepairable, sometimes not cost effective but with a welder and a tin snips anything is possible.

these on the other hand are made of aluminium and get bonded and riveted on


if your gonna do a rwd then it has to have some huge arches on it to fit some huge wheels under.

[littlefeller]
