hey quetion with the fiberglass jelly were you able to fill in the areas needed to connects the two broken parts of the panel. Like the area around the speaker grill and window switches were you missing any plastic parts and were able to fill it in with the fiberglass ? And how are the Celica seats coming out how it the seat height and fit ?

after i stripped all the leather off, I bolted up the plastic door panel onto the back part of the panel to hold it all together. I lightly plastic epoxied them so when i take the plastic panel off, they will be together.
Then I filled the area with jelly, matting over it, and then more jelly. Let dry, sanded it down.
I only did 1 layer, it was so thick as is. I was missing lots of plastic, i filled it in with matting/jelly.
Still only have my passenger side done on the Celica seats, but it sits maybe 1-1.5" lower than stock. Perfect fit IMO.
haha, probably not... I am really UNmotivated to do my other side still.. rofl.

I guess if someone wasnt DIY inclinded. Pair an engineer with no money going to college. You learn to do everything yourself lol.
Some mounted action, sorry for the bad shots. Its so humid here, the Rebel was fogged up completely.
Hey look, its a manual 1uz
... with the ugly tan hand brake.
Anyways, just gotta work on mounting the bottom section, since the thicker material is not liking the stock screws, gotta run to ace tomorrow for new ones.
