Nice and steady goes the ride!
Unfortunately, got into an accident and I no longer own the car. It was fun while it lasted! Learned a lot from the 6gc community!

You did an excellent job keeping your car shiny and free of dents. Even the plastic bumpers. It's really glad to see.

Well, thanks. However, it has plenty of dents and the paint is not as shiny as it used to be. Looks great though in gloomy weather!

so do the 7th gen leather seats bolt in? what's the trick? do you keep the frame and just bolt the back and bottom cushions to it?

Hi. Yeah, as long as you have a 96-99 Celica, you should be able to swap the top and bottom halves. I had to keep the seat pan, brackets, and rails from my car, and swapped over the leather and foam from the 7th gen seats.
