There are 7 generations of Celica. You need to be a little more helpful and state which one ;)

I have nearly completed this conversion, just adding the lacquer to car is left.

I would post a picture of the front when i had finished priming but sadly because i never really post on this forum i am not allowed.

Its very very time consuming though, took me a long time!!

I will update my project thread of mr2oc soon and will included the pictures of how much was removed e.t.c when i do that.

But lot of slam panel inner wing and bonnet has to be removed.

There is honestly a lot of angle grinding to do, and once thats done and the lights are in i spent weeks and weeks filling and sanding.

If you put in "celica headlight conversion" into the search and click "search for all terms" it throws up a few hits. An interesting read anyway -one set of threads seemed to turn into a bun fight with the mods anyway.

...Allot of work involved so fair play to those done it. Not my taste at all but fair doos.

If it's on a track car then is it worth the hassle? Better time and money spent on other things on an SW20 in my mind.
