That is a very nice Celica LB Turbo. It looks noce and complete?

My LB Turbo project seem to be following your path. I also have the reissue bodyset, and I plan to use the parts to complete my old body.

I got my friend Paul (nickname "Loaded") to professionally chrome plate the C parts, so I'm ready for restoration. If I only had time...

I miss the part that goes over the taillights.

(would you be so kind to move this tread over to the vintage - resto section?)

I'm about to restore this beauty

Thx now you will be rewarded with an update:

Exploded view:



You see: clean body, paint, a set of rear tires. and other stuff

There's a VERY slim chance I might still have the rear light bar, maybe at my brother's, maybe at my mother's - I'll try & look for it at the weekend. Definately got a tatty box for it in the loft! (Home to a Hirobo Rock-n-city at the mo) Thinking about it, it's pretty sick really - paid 5gbp for mine back in the 80s, just cos it was the cheapest way to aquire 1150 ballraces at the time, so I ran it once then broke it for parts.... The body spent a short time on an SRB, then on a monster beetle, which pretty much finished it off

That would be awesome, i miss the lightbar and the transparant plastic.
Poor celica one a beetje chassis

If I've still got it, it'll JUST be the (Black?) plastic surround part. What transparent plastic are you missing? Is it something that could be made? - CD cases work well for small bits, eg headlight lenses, fizzy drinks bottles work ok for windows, if you can find an undamaged one. They can be a pain to glue though

Color is no problem, have to spray the whole car in blue,,

Lightbar and those 2 'glass' pieces:

I WANT ONE!!!!!
can't waight to see it finished
