oldnslow Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Nice build, but I gotta ask, what's the ring hanging from the back for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lownslow Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Nice build, but I gotta ask, what's the ring hanging from the back for? Its a Japanese thing traditionally seen on Bozosuku cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Just an FYI, the "rear deck" is a roll out cargo cover on the real cars and not a fixed package tray. The rear speakers were mounted in recessed nooks to the outside of the rear seat passengers. The hard cover in the hard cover in the kit is probably a concession to motorization, but the blue paint looks great on the LB body style.

508boricua Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Nice build, but I gotta ask, what's the ring hanging from the back for?Hey Robert that's a subway handle. It was sorta the cool thing to do, to use them as tow hooks. Frank is right about it being a japanese trend. Thanks man for your comment.

I owned a 78 celica way back in the day and I had a plywood cover in place of the vinyl cover to mount my additional speakers in. Thanks, I was unsure about the color at first but I was happy how it turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
