It will probably take me a while to get this completely up to date, but finally starting a progress thread for my 1996 Celica ST 1.8L. Through a series of events with school and my other vehicle, I acquired my family’s Celica around October of 2018. It’s a little rough around the edges but now I get to do some things that I’ve wanted to do for the ~12 years that it’s been in our family. Here’s a few pictures of the Celica before I had done any work on it.

Welcome! So what're your plans for it?

I'm a big fan of the "OEM plus" look and options, so the main plan right now is getting any missing parts and restoring any that are in rough shape, as well as mainly cosmetic upgrades for now. This is my daily driver and it has fairly high miles so likely no major mods under the hood until a rebuild or new motor is in order, but I'd also like to beef up the suspension/handling components. I've done a handful of things so far, I just need to set some time aside to upload the pictures of all the upgrades.

Welcome! Looks like your family took good care of it for those 12 years.

Thanks! 312k on the odometer, ~180 on the motor
