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. ;)

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

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.
