i know sometimes people start discussing head light modification so i thought id share a project of mine that i just started working on again after letting it collect dust in the garage for about a year and a half.
As with most Celica the T16 had a sibling car in the form of the Corona which much like the AE86 Levin/Trueno relationaship is the Fixed headlight derivative of the Celica.
Now this conversion is actually a bit of a downgrade as at the time the Celica was a far more desireable and expensive vehicle in Japan but out of uniquenes si pursued this conversion anyway.
The ST162 Corona GTR is mechanically exactly the same as the ST162 Celica GTR. and the conversion itself is very easy as well as you only need to change the hood, headlights, grille and bumper (im using a St165 Celica GT-Four bumpe ri had in my back yard until my Corona Bumper arrives from japan, also my Hood as you notice is quite "ghetto" im alsao waiting on the hood to arrive)
I will post more later on availability of parts, a step by step of the ocnversion itself and other little bits of information.
I know this sort of thing isnt everyones cup of tea but i hope you all enjoy it anyway!
