The bonnet and boot fits my 1975 celica TA22,
to install the bonnet and boot to you car, bonnet pins/locks or similar are needed.
The fibre glass bonnet is made for TA22.
The boot fits TA22, and will fit other models with the same shape boot.
As for the front guards, i will be using my celica's left and right guards as a template for the mold. I will also be using my celica's front and rear bumpers. They are in good condition. If you have any doubts i am glad to use other recomended parts as templates.
As for the spoiler it is not a GT. It sits a bit wide on the chin of my 22 so just beware of this. I will confirm on what model it fits snug to.
Before i forget, if you have or know of some one who has a GT front spoiler for TA22 and other 70's celica models, may i please borrow it to make fibre glass copies!!!
For TA23, RA23, RA25, RA28 and other 70's celica models that exist in OZ or else where, let me know if you would like similar parts fibre glassed, i am glad to do it for you.
i will post up the difference in weigh when i get the parts fibre glassed.
regards fonzy.

Hi,
I'm keen to get a GT Front Spoiler replica. I know that Simon has one...don't know if he'll let anyone borrow it or not, but it's worth a try.
His site is:
http://users.chariot.net.au/~stmezz/celica.htm
He's also in Perth, which kind of complicates things a bit...

Hi, fellas i have weighed the items using a bathroom scale so the figures will be basic.
- Each fender/guard (painted) 1.4 kg
- Bonnet (painted, no hinges, latch & flutes) 12.5 kg
- Boot (painted, no lock, hinges & torsin bars) 5.7 kg
- Front bumper bar (chrome not painted, no supports) 1.5 kg
- Rear bumper bar (chrome not painted, no supports) 1.8 kg
Feel free to correct me if you have the approximate weights.
As for the fibre glass items I only have:
- Bonnet (not painted, no hinges, latch & flutes) 5.5 kg
- Boot (not painted, no lock, hinges & torsin bars) 2.5 kg
I will try to get the rest this week end. I have been preparing the front fenders/guards for the molding process. update 3 will be soon.
regards Fonzy.

Hi,
so far I have a couple of people interested. No body has yet purchased these items because I'm still in the process of preparing the casts, making sure the items are up to scratch ie: no faults and are compatible with the right celica models. The prices will go down when people start purchase these items.
When the duplicates of these items are ready I will post up pics of what they look like. If you want to take a closer look, let me know and we'll work something out.
Regards Fonzy

Any news on a GT front spoiler like Simon's?
If one like that becomes available, I'd be interested, depending on cost.

I weighed the other day 2 front bumpers and 1 rear, no supports, on an accurate scale, and they were about 11.5kg for the lot, no paint for the steel items. so i think your bumper weights could be a bit out. Other than that, lower your prices dude, the first person that comes along shouldnt suffer your mould costs. work out what the glass costs per item, then tak some on for the mould (about a 10th or less) and then tak a bit on for your time and effort. I got told $160 for a front spoiler the same as the one you showed in red for a 2 piece, or $140 for a single peice item. A RA23 bonnet with both vents, hinge mounting braces and clamping holder, also with a moulded scoop in any spot i wanted was going to set me back $600. That was all through the celica shop in brissy who are now closed, but i still have contact numbers for the people with the moulds.
Cheers, Owen

Yeh mate dont bother with the front or rear spoilers as the front isnt the GT and a similar rear one can be found at any cheap chinese car place for 50 bucks,probably wouldnt even bother with the bumpers as most people like the chrome ones,Im interested in front guards as they nearly always rust but seeing that i can get brand spankers for 250 each the price is still a little high. The other main reason I wpould buy these parts is to save on weight,what are the comparisons between orig and fiber??
As for the GT front spoiler,I am in the process of getting one over from Japan so Ill be interested in getting some copies made up.
Ill get intouch when it gets here.
cheers

hi,
i have the following items in fibre glass (thanks to Toymods and it's members)
- GT front spoiler
- GT rear spoiler
- front left and right fenders
- front and back bumpers
- bonnet and boot
all i need is the head light covers and my ta22 is complete.
im sorry for posting up expensive prices. Ignore them if you can get them cheaper. getting the bonnet, boot fenders, bumper bars engineered will be a challenge for sum.
As for 1 front and 1 rear bumper bar, i weighed my ones again and they havn't changed, still with no supports, screws and paint, they are straight out chrome, so i can't help you there.
both of mine put together aren't even close to 11kg.
And by the way, one thing about fibre glass is that they warp under heat.
regards fonzy

I would be interested in a RA23 bonnet pending all the bracket mounting being available and a fair price. Wouldnt buy until i get a job, but that might be only in a couple of weeks, could be till early next year.
