Wow. If you turn that around, much less by mid-August, I will be totally blown away. Good on you for trying to save it!

Woh Yikes!!! Yah by Mid-Aug? Do able? Yes would I do no. But a friend of mine restored a Celica GT that was much worse that your 510 and 5 years later. It's an absolute beauty with VG33 and narrowed 240SX rear suspension. The orange 510 belongs to Qwik510 the Summit Point organizer which he purchased from Peter Brock. The Yellow box flare is mine. Pic taken at Summit Point WV this year. After a good washing supplies was had,,you know beer and ice. Not a bad shot with my phone as I left my slr back at the track but I did have a polarizer with me known as my Raybans which I placed infront of the phones lens :shock:

OP, you need to talk with Dave at FutoFab to see about his replacement panels. Would save you a grip in money and time.
