    That is one good looking car you have there and kudos to you for having the patience to work on those wheels and get them looking so nice. If I had to do body work and wheel repair, this would be me... :banghead

    Nice work. Are those 15" or 16"? Do you know how much they weight?

    So nice! If you dont mind me asking, where did you get the red gauge needles?

    I done the clock surround and needles myself mate,
    Sprayed the surround and the needles believe it or not is just permanent marker and very effective also glows a nice red at night. Simple but effective lol,

    No worries mate hear they are i just need to add a few more led's to even out the light out put.
    You can see how the needles light up well with the marker on.

    This GT4 is coming along great and quick! I love your work and may use some of it to base mine off of if you dont mind. If I remember correctly you and I got our GT4's around the same time. It seems like you have done so much more work than me! lol Hopefully my ST205 swap will be done soon and I can get it back on the road!

    Also do you have the template you used for the "celica" on the front grill? I would love to do something like that in blue on my car...I'm thinking about going blue with white for mine. I love the red on yours!

    First off thank's for the great comments mate.

    I am glad you like it enough to wont to use some of my ideas and yeah go for it mate i don't mind at all.
    The Red Celica decal on the front is the same size & font as the original that is stamped in the grill. I sprayed the grill and all the surrounds in Anthracite then stuck the decal on then sprayed the clear coat over top to seal it all, together.

    Wow that sucks! How was the temp while driving?

    Do you think the heat/pressure was higher than it should have been or do you think the hose was old and weak?

    The temp never goes above half.way, The fans cut in just fine I have an extra fan on the rad to keep the temps down.
    I think it was just an old weak hose to be honest.I have been a bit iffy about it lately It would swell up when hot and when cooled down it had started to go flat and out of shape.

    Hows your motor coming along mate.She will be wicked with a 205 lump in her.

    That's the route i am going when this one finally give up the ghost,

    very typical of old hoses. be super careful with the rad too.

    she looks great so far. very unique color set you've made on the interior and it worked out well. cheers!
