Overkill's 6GC GT Journal Options

[Overkill]

Greetings!

My name is Brock aka Overkill. I have been a member since 2004, but have not been a regular visitor until recently. I have decided to start a journal to capture the 6GC journey I am about to embark. Some of you might know me from the chat room, some of you might have met me back when HTC was formed, and some of you might know me as Matt aka Death's Brother-n-Law. Back in 2003 when I was working with Matt I bought a 1990 Supra 7mge auto. I really loved that car even-though it was a "turd". It was a pain in the ass, but a lot of fun to drive. I believe my max speed on the car was only 118mph, but it was still a fun car. Matt has always had a celica, ever since I met him. Hell, I've even been in an accident with Matt IN one of his celicas. Seeing the progress he has made with his newest has made me decide to follow in his footsteps.

I have been looking over the last month or so to try to find the right Celica to begin the journey. After a long search, I believe I have found the one. She is a 1994 GT 5-speed. She is Turquoise Pearl and has 186k miles. I am going to Austin Saturday to test drive, but I am almost positive that I will be bringing her home with me.

I decided to keep this journal for future enthusiasts who want to see the progression, so that they too might become part of our family.

Ideal Future upgrades: Stereo (I believe it does not have one at the moment)
Alarm ( also believe that it does not have one at the moment)
Tune up & Tires (possibly rim w/ tires)
Windshield replacement (has a long crack in wind shield)
Suspension (FSTB, RSTB, Coilovers)
Breaking (Drilled & Slotted rotors w/ Upgraded Calipers and SB breaklines)

There are a ton of other modifications I plan on, these listed above are on my top priority. (Ofcourse... Saturday has to get here first)


I will take pictures on Saturday, and keep everyone posted. Wish me luck... Im sure I will need it!

Great looking car,,I'm glad to see you finally were able to pick one up. Sometimes things take time to develop, but I'm positive now that you got one you enjoy it that much more because of what it took to get it. Good luck on your project and keep us updated.
