how much did the paint cost u and where'd u get it from?

cost me about 800 but thats was for the primer, color,clear hardner, reducer,and some misc measureing cups, tapes, and solvent.

i'm prolly in it another 300 bucks in sand paper, misc hardware

and 70 bucks to have all the glass pulled and replaced



paint is from a local place called johnson paint supply in dickinson TX

wait so u painted it your self? or have a shop do it?

im asking cuz im thinking of getting my car painted soon, and since ur in texas i was gonna go to the same place if its not too far/cheap

a friend of mine has his own shop and did it for me. he's in the alvin area.

pm if your intrested and i'l pass it along

in the meantime check out some of the pics.

for some reason that rear spoiler seems to be too high for me? or maybe its the 15" wheels that make it look tall...i dunno....im confused

Brenham huh? I live like 5 mind away from somerville which is another 30 miles away from brenham. We should meet up one day! Celica is looking gorgeous!

Sounds good just shoot me a pm when your back and well set up a meet

just got in my 7th gen short shifter in the mail today. hope to have sometime tonight after work to swap that in

Welcome! cars coming along good and quick man. hope you enjoy it. I know i've enjoyed mine for the last 6 years i bought another one as a daily lol. Been up there to see g/f's mom. Was planning on it again this summer. But i believe were going to Virgina this summer lol.

oh snap i didnt know there was a another celica with a gt4 front end in houston, i tought i was the only one lol. It looks real nice man!

yeah , i've actually seen a lot of your posts with you and your brothers cars. maybe i can pick your brain a bit i'm looking to swap a 3s in aug when i've got a block of free time.

thanks for the comments

you had a 93 All-Trac and got rid of it? where you sick that day?

lol, i got an offer for it and i thought it was worth less than they offered.

shifter swapped in , for 12 bucks on ebay this if by far the best bang for the buck mod i've done

pic of the new shifter





and another ebay pickup

autodimming mirror. just figured out were everything goes on the wiring harness. so ths weekend i'm gonna run some wires to get all that sorted



sorry for the crapy phone pics

can u post an add to that mirror im interested in one of those

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gentex-261-Auto-di...6#ht_500wt_1221

same model but found mine for 50bucks w/ temp sensor.



btw if you get this model i already tested this with a 12 volt powr supply on my bench


pink - +12v (autodim and compass/temp power)
black - ground
light green/black - temp sensor
black/white - temp sensor

OPTIONAL
-----------

yellow - battery(if you get the version with map light)
dark green - side mirror defog (need to pull heater strip out of a chevy suburban/ gm truck)
dark green - side mirror defog
gray - reverse light (will turn off autodim when you backup)

also if you dont have the mounting tab use the metal napa one not the plastic ones from autozone/oriley(they will not hold the mirror secure and it'll vibrate as you drive)

napa part # 730-2023


good luck
