Mondo's 1995 GT T-bar!

[Mondo]

Hi all,

There are a few people who'll know me from the Celica Club (as I have one of those too) but I'm here now as well as I've today purchased a toy for the summer:

*imagine a picture here, as I'm not allowed to link...*

She's a 1995 Rev 3 (I think) UK GT in Carribean Blue (possibly) and I think she's pretty nice! She's likely to remain fairly standard as the Celica's the more showy vehicle, but I will be upgrading her interior at some point (as I'm a retrimmer). Just need to decide on a colour scheme first...

Welcome along

You need more than 15 posts to link due to spam issues

welcome, sounds good.

Think you can start your garage now and add pics though...

It seems I can, yeah. I've stuck a couple of pics in there for the time being, til my postcount improves...

Thanks for the tip.

Welcome dude

Thanks, folks.

Barely 24 hours into ownership and I'm about to build a new gear gaiter... I can see this is going to be another money pit!

You can get them at a great deal from Rhon.

As I'm a trimmer by trade, it makes sense to do it myself. After that, I'll probably make a start on the storage section at the back of the cabin.

and a trimmed dash?

I'm not sure if I'm going to trim the entire cabin yet or not. Certainly, I'll be redoing the seats at some point. And no doubt making some leather roofbags too!

I've bunged a couple of pictures of the finished gaiter in my Garage for the time being.

Car looks clean fella

Nice work on the gear gaiter, looks great. Nice skill to have!

Thanking you. It pays the bills and keeps me out of (too much) mischief...

Unlike most people in the North East who seem to have spent their Bank Holiday Monday getting ready to go and see Take That, I've been spending mine doing some more work on the interior.

I've finished the top lid on the storage box and I'll get to the front lid another day. Pictures are, as always, in my Garage (for 3 more posts, anyway....)

Lookin' good dude. Keep up the effort!

[Mondo]

Back at work tomorrow so I'll be finding the time on a night again. Hoping to have the storage box completed this week though

I can see that cars interior being a very nice place to be when you're done

[Mondo]

That's certainly the plan. Not sure whether I'd use it as a showcase or not - that's more the Celica's job. At the very least, I'll be able to have it as a very nice second car though.
