Summer's coming up so that means, blowing money on our cars.
 So, I wanna know what everyone's plan for their celi is over summer whether it's just filling up gas or paintjob or engine swap. let's hear it for some inspiration.  as for me, my bedroom is full of parts that desparately need to be put on. I got my OEM sideskirts in primer that will be painted soon and put on. Then, I also got some TRD springs but I"m gonna wait until I get some new struts to put those in. Also have ATE slotted brake discs going on soon. as well as an ebay 4-2-1 header and I'll have the shop put on a magnaflow exhaust too. all in all, i'm gonna be one broke mutha.

I'm going to take my Tractor and crush the hella out of the celi so that NO ONE can use any parts left on it and then recycle it. You wait and watch, I'll even make a video!

I need to get caught up on some maintenence stuff and fix some broke stuff before I get to the extras. I'm picking up a new radiator today and I have new wheel bearings sitting in my shop ready to go in. Might need a new half shaft for the passengers side too. Hope it's just the wheel bearing making the noise.
For extras: Need new speakers (all 8 of them are blown). Going to go over the paint on the entire car and fix all the little dings, dents and scratches. Soundproofing. Starting to think about a V6 swap... |

Probably going to just give it an insanely good detail since I've never done one...buff, clay, etc. The whole nine yards.
My wheels are getting paint soon. If I run into some money, I'm buying a replica OEM hatch visor and SS-III and TRD splitters. This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Apr 22, 2010 - 11:54 AM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

Looking to get some cf splitters or lips for my car that I actually like... and finally get the driver fender replaced and painted. later this month is planned for custom air intake and cat delete 3" exhaust with greddy can. Other than that some TRD racing lugs in red and then back in storage for the winter months! God that was a short summer!
