    a deck of playing cards does quite well if tucked around the edge of the rim to keep the paint off the tires

    thats actually a really good idea, but I'm only gunna paint the gray bits of the rim so i wont need to paint the outside. do u think it really needs 5-6 coats? or would 3 good coats be good? although i guess its only like $10 per can so might as well make sure it lasts.

    I didn't put on heavy coats, spray paint always stick's better in thin coats......after the first coat you could barely see the black paint....after the 6th it was perfect!

    That's what mine looks like....we're bothing missing the little piece that hangs down so cans can sit on it.... As long as you pile enough stuff down there it works though.... :d

    could yall let me know if its worth it to rust proof my car? and how much that might cost to have done?

    rust proof like oil spray the inside of the doors and 1/4's and stuff? or undersprayed?

    and yeah, in ontario it's probably worth it....if you don't have much rust as it is...

    lol so today i went and opened my drivers door and felt a weird click. so i shut the door and tried to open it again... but that didn't so much work. so i think that something might have popped out of place on the outside handle but now i feel ghetto cauz i havta go through the passenger door, open the drivers door from the inside and then walk back around and get in by the drivers door lol. it sucks!!

    haha ya so my door wasn't so easy to fix... my dad and i more or less took the whole door apart (including taking the glass out). turned out a small piece of plastic broke that holds the metal door cable to the outside handle and so the cable fell out. I got the piece from Toyota for free thanks to my grandpa and now my door works again! it only took like 6 hours to take apart and put back together... over 2 days. lol :S so not exactly as quick and easy as i was thinking it was going to be but its done so all is good. oh and i got new springs for xmas but i havn't decided if I'm gunna try and install them myself or if i'm just gunna take it to a shop. prob depends how much they will charge me but ya thats about all the recent news for my car right now.

    on a list of things not to do ever, make sure you have never put 4 ppl in a celica plus luggage for two days at a cottage. it was a damn good thing we only had to stay like that for an hour since we met up with more ppl and another car. and i think that im gunna try to install my springs but thats not gunna happen until its not so cold out.
