OK OK, so here is the deal. I have spent alot of time on trying to find a 6gc worth purchasing. I have found a few and have made offers that were not taken. So I decided to start my own project thread, and just turn one of my two celica's into my dream celica. Project Basics. 94 Celica GT- Automatic 5sfe>>>>>>>>>into>>>>>>>>>> 94 Celica GT- Manual 5SFTE I have a 95 manual 5sfe that I will be using parts out of. Step 1. Pretty much remove everything from the 94. Interior first, then engine compartment. Then Undercarage. Step 2. Re- carpet / customize interior. Step 3. Get barebone frame/Engine Bay painted. Step 4. Drive train / undercarage / wheels installation. Step 5. Tranny/Motor installation. Step 6. Body Kit and Paint job. Step 7. Speeding tickets, bitches, and car shows. Got most of my tools out of storage into the new house so will be starting tonight hopefully. Will take a few starting pictures of both cars, and keep a running list of everything. I am not doing this on the site for nothing. This is my first auto project ever, and am taking it a bit at a time as I learn things. I will have tons of questions and would love some experienced input from the users that made me into a 6gc nut. Ideas, Concerns, positive criticism, and any other things you want to throw in here would be much appreciated. Like I said, its my first ever auto project ever. I don't know ****, but have a descent amount of cash, so am planning on having fun and doing it right no matter how long it takes. Things I still need, been doing alot of research over the past few months and heres where I am stuck. MOTOR / Tranny Been looking at the 5sfe block, and was hoping to get an E tranny, Thanks in advanced, and I look forward to doing my project with the help of all you 6gc'rs helping out along the way.

after two full cans of engine degreaser on the inside of my car I think I have it clean enough to move onto the next step. Removing the rest of interior panels, and then removing the dash. Car had aftermarket crap from owner I bought it from 10 years ago, that were pretty rigged. I think thats why when I got out of my car if i put my hand on the floor panel I would get shocked. So I am going to go through the electrical system and bring it back to basics, then rewire anything I want. I got my Toyota manual in the mail so this will be fun.
![]() I will post pics of the clean job when I get home from work tonight, I took the pictures but didnt get time to upload them. Anyone have a good paint they used for interior? I have done some painting but didnt like the texture. So I am going to strip it down and start over. I am talking about all the interior panels in the rear and the dash. I'm not experienced with any of this so learning is half the fun. -------------------- Celica Enthusiast with no experience.
