My sister just sent me a picture of her Celica being put together. She bought a black one a while ago, and always wanted an orange "play" car. She was going to have a custom color blended, but I told her how stupid that would be and it would be expensive to find touch-up paint, or have any shop fix it without using a real color.

I told her to use Sunset Orange Metallic, and she went with my idea. Here's a pic that she just sent me:

She likes the imports. Her husband (my brother-in-law) also has a 68 Camaro.

We all like cars, she's less mechanically inclined though.

Hi `Mike, I like that gen/model of the Celica. I think it was one of Toyota's best selling rides. I think it looks more like a Italian DeSign, then Japanesse DeSign...

Please post updated pic's when it is finished...Would love to see them 4-Sure Thanks 4 shar'in
============================
Powers `Off in the Warehouse & the temps in my apartment are over 100 degree's (Could not sleep)...Generator's are working overtime, but air conditioner had 2 be shut down until they repair the prob

p.s., I like the below one 4-Sure...

Peace/Out from `Space

Did they do a good `job on your Monte ? Can you notice the difference in your handling/ride ?

Great that you have more computers to work on...I'm sure you have not 4-got Wish you & member's a Safe/Happy Day ~>EnJoy
Its hot and humid in our warehouse aswell mainly just by the recieving area. We dont loose power too often here but our store is equipped with generators as well. I honestly cant feel too much of a difference in the monte, but i suppose it needed to be done.

Picked up the computers, just doing some work on them now. Hard to find time between work and school.
