Jim, I love that buggy of yours! Did not realise it had been such a mess before you got your hands on it... Great job!

Also have to say that when it comes to paint job you are really second to none. This Rothmans paintjob is really amazing.

The car comes as usual with superb aluminium rims...

What about these funny headlights? Are these working? Would you have some spare? I would love to cast a few ones...

smooth work Jim & Raoul - it's really cool to see the metamophosis of those oldies - I'll have some pics ready real soon!

I may have something nice too - actually the first resto that is somewhat 'spectacular'. Maybe not as spectacular as the others, it's still in progress but it's a start. Let me know what you think. [8D]

On my site are more pics... You can find them thru 'My cars' and 'All cars', the buttons are self-explainary. Does anyone know how to link a frameset with a mainframe other than the standard one? [?]

Raoul, the lights came off an old juggernaut light bar. I fitted them with bulbs I bought at Radio shack. they are acutally very bright. I took some pictures of them on when the battery was half dead. otherwise they were so bright that it messed up the picture. Here is a link to this buggy in my showroom http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=418&id=34

BTW nice job on your celica
