Out of the military for a year now and back to school in Oregon, i told myself that when i was getting back home that i will get a cleaner celica and i did!

So as i was on my way home from school. I saw a white facelift celica parked in the front of a car dealership for $2700. I told my girl to turn around so I can check her out because my current celica just had way to many issues (suspension,rust, mileage, tranny, and overall ride was not comfy). So I got out and checked out the white celica and when i peeked through the window i saw the odometer showing 80k MILES! I couldnt believe it so i asked the salesman if i can check it out. I looked at the engine bay and trunk and it looked mint as hell. It seemed to be untouched and I ended up test driving and the next day i walked to dealership and bought it with little sleep because I was just way to excited and couldnt let a mint celi go to waste. Sold the beater to a good buddie of mine and he even let me swap a few parts from her (door panels, trd knob, few miscellaneous pieces)

Current specs:
No A/C
No Sunroof
No Cruise Control
Stock radio
some dents and dings but absolutely no rust/bondo! biggrin.gif

Installed:
Jdm taillights
nice bright led plate lights
optima battery
Trd shiftknob

A little work i did today on my day off! sorry i sold my DSLR so pics are from my Iphone5c...

Headliner was dirty so i decided to reupholster it. Easy since i didnt need to remove a sunroof =) took me 8 years to finally do it =P



Painted visors and plastic pieces black. I jacked up the plastic cover for the mirror so i gotta pick that up before i paint the mirror and dome.



Decided to paint a few pieces in the bay also, and ended up steel wooling/sanding the valve cover and intake manifold a little bit =)



Wiper arms needed to get touched up


Painted the heat shield , sorta unsure if i like it or not. Should i do it wrinkle black?



Next on the list
-megan coilovers
-tires for my enkei rpf1s that have been laying around for years now
-looking for sway bars, endlinks, and front and rear strut bars


Thanks for viewing! More pics to come! smile.gif

i got some Nasty calluses aka trophys ! wink.gif
