Finally Finished a Project, Pics Inside! Options

[Coomer]

Yesterday I finally finished up a long-term project...my '88 Celica GT. I paid $400 for this car with 132,000 miles on it...it needed a valve cover gasket and a tranny fluid change and new filter, and brakes all around. Now all of that's done, the car has a CD player and power options and everything, and it now has somewhat nice paint and wheels, all for under $1,000, including the price of the car.

Here are some progress pictures:














And here it is now:















It looks like a 4x4, but it's all good...the rims are coming off shortly and it's going to be my bro's first car when he turns sixteen in less than a month. It should be a good first car for him.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Yep, sprayed it myself and did all the work myself. It's John Deere Blitz Black paint, which ran me $26 for a gallon and should be plenty durable. I didn't do a perfect job with the body work as you can see in some of the pics, but it's fine for my bro.

Nice job. I like the satin/flat black.



P.S. His pics always look good 'cause he lives in Washington where it is overcast/cloudy 99% of the time... J/K we all know you've got skills.

You're thinking of the west side...on the east side of the mountains it's usually pretty good weather. Yakima is classified as desert terrain...the irrigation water is the only reason why there are trees here.

i like the flat black color why are you taking the rims off? for winter or to sell them?

I'm selling them to a friend.
