Hey all, a new Celica owner reporting in here at 6gc looking for tips and advice on taking care of my first ever car, the '97 25th Anniversary GT. I was lucky to come across it on Craigslist and fell in love with it immediately. But however, it has sustained some wear and tear over the years - pretty much all only cosmetic, and I'm looking to tending to them in the near future.
I want to start with getting a new cloth top for the El Nino winter that we're expected to have here in Texas. Before I pull the trigger on buying a cloth top from eBay (all I can afford really), I was wondering if anyone can share their instructions PDF or whatever help came with your replacement top. I had read on here that some people got them with buying a new top, but am unsure if the one I'm looking at would, and also to see how much work I'll have to do to install one. I did hear it was a two-person job, but I have no idea where I would start without these instructions, apart from knowing that it's a two-piece design that can be done with glue and a stapler gun. Any advice is welcome too, and thanks in advance. |

Funny enough, I was also thinking about replacing the top on my vert. And double funny enough, Autozone had instructions! Now to decide...cloth or vinyl?
