While at home, I huv spare my weekend to polish the rear bumper. It just to save cost out of re-chroming method.

This bumper is actually fm earlier toyota celica liftback i,e TA27 or RA25, production years 73-75.

No prob, it will fit in to my "Wooppss" i,e toyota celica liftback TA28, production years 75-77.

Jan 10, 2009 The schedule has been adjusted, which by means Wooppss should huv her engine back inside the engine bay today. Due to problem transporting the engine to the shop. Installing the engine will carry out some other days later.

I granted the painter to advance the schedule i,e to spray the basecoat & clear. The mission was carry out on 5pm.

Today, I bring the co-sponsor of this Wooppss Project. She is the one who give me full support towards the project include money matter :wink: :wink:

Well she is My Lady (my wife), yes the only lady in my life.

We are lucky enough, as we arrived at the shop, painter at work on Wooppss. Wooppss has been sprayed the second layer of basecoat.

I choosed Dupont product (direct purchase fm factory).

- 4 liters Gun Metal speacial effect basecoat &
- 3 sets of HC (hard coat) 2:1 slow dry clear.

//My Lady on her visit to Wooppss Project. From her smile, I knew she is very happy with the project carried out. That as what I promised her.

//We continued the visit after maghrib prayer & found Woopps got her second layer of clear coat. 3 sets/liters would be enough for 4 layers hopefully.

My Lady love celica, myself love celica, our children also love celica.
