3rd Generation Update on my ride

As some of you know I bought Yesca's v6 Camry a couple of months ago. I've just been doing a few needed repairs and whatnot to it, nothing really visual. I do have a few things I've started doing to it and will probably continue during the next few months...

Scepter Panel:


I am starting an install on a set of jdm folding mirrors; I got the passenger side painted and installed. I'm still working on the wiring for the folding function so in the meantime I've swapped the plug for the standard power mirrors one to function with what I've got now. As soon as I've got the wiring figured out, I'll get it all hooked up. Anyways, here's what I've got so far:






It'll need another coat of paint and clearcoat, but I'll do that when I'm finished with the driver's side.

And of course, the car needed a new mascot for its new owner:


I'll be driving with the wheels that came on it but will probably be looking for another bronze set next spring. And unfortunately, I can't keep the RMM front lip on it for daily driving If I do, I pretty much can't bring it to work or plan on going up and down my driveway too often. It'll be there for when the car shows come up. I've already gotten compliments from some local show guys, but feel like I need to put more of my own personal touch to it before presenting it like that.

Very nice!! Looks like the ES mirror worked out good, and im guessing that means the mirror is not folded and you can see pretty good ehh?

Yeah, but I pretty much have it adjusted as far left as I can get it. I'm wondering if swapping for the es mirror motor would make a difference, because if I recalled it looked like this one.

gf's digital camera under a carport about dusk doesn't really help either. I've asked robot santa to get me a nice digi camera this x-mas, so let's hope

And I sure didn't want to make a photo gallery of a car that needed washed, mismatched mirrors and 2 spots of bird shit on the back windshield...

and yes, Domokun ftmfw
