Project 1997 Celica ST Options

[Detox]

Hey guys, long time follower finally back in a 6g. My brother just picked this Celi up about a week ago. Nothing special and in pretty bad shape , but it runs. He finally got his license but his impulse buy got him this and well at this point we're just gonna put this one back to stock as much as we can but at the same time we'd like to get involved into Auto X so we'll see where it goes. The shell isn't the best so we don't expect to put really invest to much into it.







Carbon fiber hood is broken since previous owner didn't close the hood right and it flew open and bent and also bent the fenders so those are garbage. Both bumpers (fiberglass) are all cracked and held together by duck tape, plus it's a Vader kit which we've never been a fan of so garbage regardless. Has a fart can, we plan to remove but he cut and weld the pipping all the way to the cat which he also cut and welded so we need a whole exhaust system with cat from headers back, if anyone happens to have it locally please let me know. Interior is trashed. Has its good amount of rust but since my brother picked it up for $600 , he gets what he gets.

Anyway, let's see how this goes.

Also forgot to mention, installed TRD leather stitched shift knob.

Since all the cosmetic is done for now, next we start to tackle the engine bay. Already installed a filter onto the SRI he had installed. Didn't notice how crappy it was so going to replace it completely. Also need to buy a battery, change valve cover gasket, flush all the liquids, change belts, spark plugs, basically just going to give it a tuneup and see how sound this 200k 7a is.
