introducing Project Banshee

so as you know my beloved red celica was written off. i cant begin to describe the amount of blood,sweat,tears,money and custom bits went into her but with every cloud there is a silver lining.

Having pulled all the good bits off my previous celica i have bought a new 162 and this will be a completely ground up rebuild.

The car is essentially stock except for the gen 2 engine (unfortunately running a gen1 ecu tho)

Plans: make the old car seem like a ride build for an old women

Im not gonna go into any more detail but i assure you if you follow this thread this car will evolve into to something unique and quite competetive



stay tuned ..............

 

jon get in line haha. never selling those bad boys
this cars essentially gonna be a no compromise performance car with street rego

first thing is to swap the fuel pump so she runs then ALOT of body work

 

Tha paints really not that crash hot and the body is relatively straight but still needs work.

the fuel pump and water pump need to be replaced. then its onto fixing the rust around the windscreen and on the top of the hatch. then take out the dents and paint. shes not going to stay silver

 

Willie your always more then welcome!

ok so i swapped the fuel pump. the old one was absolutely rooted. almost crumbled in my hand upon removal. in anticipation for future power a walbro has been fitted. so the car runs! atlthough like shit hahaha. but theres a tonne of contributing factors so im not fussed.
Picked up a new water pump and need to fit that but in the mean time i have started on the interior and well shes a lil naked




and not what i wanted to see but she has some more rust that needs tending to. nothing major but still not what i wanted to see


more updates as i actually achieve things hahaha

 

This is all the opposite of my plans hahaha. all the sound deadener is being ripped out and there wont be any speakers or a head unit for that matter in this bad boy

 

if i.really wanna listen to something il just use my ipod. im taking as much weight out as possible. no need for creature comforts

steve no carpet.no anything in the cabin except for bracing a couple of seats and a steering wheel
