Well, it's probably time I make an introduction post since I've made a few posts already. I'm from Orangeville, ON, Canada where not many celicas exist anymore, my car is a 1984 5 speed GTS with 460,000km (285,830 miles) and all original besides an exhaust i will be changing out and steering wheel. I actually bought it off of someone who was active on this website at one point

At a young age my father had a celica supra with a kaminari kit, a Daytona style wing etc.. it's the car that sparked my passion for everything automotive related. And I'm so excited to own one for myself even if it's a gts. I plan on doing a full resto-mod on this car while maintaining the oem look, as the car progresses I will post more. Anyway here's the car

I'm 99% sure it's a kamanari kit, the spoiler though was custom

i kinda want to get the kamanari kit for mine, but being w/o flares, id probably have to chop at the fender areas to smooth it out, probably just glass it smooth but seriously, im hyped to see what ya do with your car!

Yea those kits are made to fit over/against the fender flares but if you're handy with fiberglass anything is possible! I can't wait to get some nicer weather so I can start digging into this car for real and doing body work. In the mean time I'm just gonna enjoy driving it   :biggrin: definitely gotta get a smaller muffler soon
