3SGE Beams swap Celica. Ep.23. Door handles / tail lights.

Back from the dead. I finally get back on the Celica build. Quick walk through on some other projects I have. I install the door handles that I got back from powder coat and finally get to use some parts that I've had for over 2yrs.

That Nova.. that Malibu! 😮 the whole shop is just fantastic. I know the struggle of just needing to work on stuff and not wanting to make videos out of it. Keep at it!

[@RA-uj3nm]

Right on. Great to have you back. 👍👍🍺🍺

[@70ronin54]

glad to see you back at it

[@jimmyh7718]

That was an awesome burnout from the Malibu. I think you will need to rebuild the window regulator and install the rollers, bushings to keep everything in line. Once you replace them the window glass will sit into the channels properly.

Good job bro 👍

[@speedacademydave]

Driveway burnouts are the best burnouts 😂 Did you rebuild your window regulators, or were yours still good? That was a "fun" job on mine.

[@andrewlagden]

just discovered your recent videos today on the celica, and your already hitting most of the jobs i need to do and answered a load of questions i had just as i start out doing mine too. did you buy direct from ponretro somehow or ebay?

[@Bye401K]

I bought everything direct. Hes great and super helpfull.

[@elgenerz]

21:16 Did you consider trying to drill it out? That seems safer than percussion to get it out.

[@Bye401K]

That would probably work as well. I didn't wanna risk the drill bit walking and making the hole outta shape.

There's a two part epoxy that you get to make those lenses. You use the original to make a silicone mold, and then you pour the epoxy into that. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqaUg4ehjK10adE I own one of the first Celicas (RA20) and I watched a guy make a video on this (different video) made lenses for the very first generation Celica. Between 3-D printing, epoxy, and casting, maybe we'll keep these cars running forever Is that car wrapped? It looks painted, but then when you install the door handle it looks like it's wrapped. Awesome project!

The hole process is awesome. So much work into those lenses. My car is painted. It has some sealer around the handles. It for sure needs a good 3 stage detail though.
