Episode 17: The Celica Is Back From Paint


In this episode, the Celica's respray is completed and is also reassembled. During this time we had the pleasure of Pro Coatings visiting the car to carbon wrap the roof, centre console and the McLaren 570s seat backs. We visit Rich's workshop where he shows us how he goes about wrapping some of these parts, accompanied by Barketing Manager, Ted.

Before the interior panels were trimmed and reinstalled, this was the perfect time to apply Dynamat Xtreme sound deadening. These were really easy to install, they come super sticky and only require a small roller to apply to the car. Dynamat Europe kindly sponsored the Celica and 190e with enough sheets to do both cars. Sound Deadening clears the cabin of any road noise or vibrations, so this was the perfect time to install.

We want to take this chance to thank Luke once more for going above and beyond to support Team Old School in our Build Battle. We mentioned Luke in the previous blog post about the Celica, but we really are grateful.


Because the previous firm let us down, our series was at a bit of a standstill, but Luke was able to complete the task—and exceptionally well, we should add.


He is situated in Kent, so if you're local, or are willing to travel, we cannot recommend his services enough. crash repairs, colour changes, restorations, and more... Get in touch via his Instagram account @l7uew and say that d:class pointed you his way.
