So, after talkin it through with alot of my friends, parents, family, etc. I decided that Im gonna keep my celica. Im gonna still be taking it off the road for a few months. So i decided that while its off the road, and im working im gonna put some $ into the car to get it back up to par of where i want it. So i decided to do a list of things i need to get done with the car. My goal is to have it all done by august 1st. So...pretty much, i need to get all of this done in the next 5 months or so.

Tint windows, re-upholster/re-cover rear seats, fix seat back *amp pulled the backing of my rear seats off cuz of its weight*, move amp *obvious reasons*, get oem strut bar covers for rear, weld up e-brake bracket *part of it got ripped off and i gotta tig weld it back into place*, clean up/paint calipers, buy new/used rear controll arms, recondition controll arms, install control arms, get new window gaskets and install them, get new drivers side vent, re-paint interior plastics, get jdm tails, get jdm projectors, fix wobbel in shifter *gotta tighten down the bolts*, new sway bar end links for front, get new wheel bearings on all 4 corners, wrap up exhaust and intake piping in heat wrap, re-vamp intake, fix door rust and hatch rust, undercoat car, clean up rear strut bar, get new TRD plate frames, fix paint chips and blemishes, de-badge rear, new front strut bar *probably cusco*, install gauges, buy DCW single pod, paint and install 5th gen mirrors, get new sunroof, re-do headliner

So, the list starts tomorrow....first step stage 3 of my celica. wish me luck

so heres todays update...over the last 48 hours ive spent $500+ on parts..lol. I bought 2 new wheel bearings ($290 for the pair), new battery ($97), new rotors and pads for the rear (another $110) and i ordered my TwosRus sway bar end links (another $165 USD). Pretty much every thing had to be ordered except the battery, so im gonna have a pretty full trunk as of tomorrow. But since i installed the strut bearing...HUDGE HUDGE HUDGE!!!!! difference in the way the car drives. my passanger side one was completely seized up..and i mean completely seized. So every bump i went over the spring couldnt compress the way it should b able 2, i would turn the wheel and the spring would spin. So driveability right now is soooo much better..now just to tackel the rear end suspension and then brakes next and the car should b almost up to where i want it....comfortable..lol. I also bought me some gold plated battery terminals, but i dont think im gonna use them just due to all of the connections i have running to my battery (subs, fogs, gauges, alarm). But yea, things are comin along well. Im headin back to Toronto on the weekend to slap my nice wheels back on, ill snap a few pics when i get em on.
