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 i got some better pics of my newer mods/changes. Better pics of the new relocated sub and amp and strut bar covers

I decided to re-upholster my hatch tray again. Went to the local auto supply store and bought me some black vynal. I did it on the front steps of my townhouse on top of a little tabel with spray adhesive and a pair of safety siccors..lol Turned out decently.


Also after almost 2 years of procrastanating, i went and painted my calipers/fixed the paint on the front ones.




Pretty close colour match.

Also if you didnt read my other thread in the exteior styling section, i got a set of OEM EU splitters from Manphibian. They look pretty good.


Also, i managed to get somethin ive wanted for awhile. So im gonna b either mounting this on the back of my car *depending on what i do with my hatch*, or im gonna put it on my dash. Im thinking the dash more so though.


Also, i managed to score me a set of JDM tails for free today....kinda.

I have my old exhaust system from my 87 supra and my friend has an 89 Cressida who wants to put an exhaust system on, so i told him i had it. He told me he would buy it, so i told him if he could get me a set of JDM tails and like $50. So i should get my JDM tails in a few days time.

Thats all for now. Im slowly adding more things as time goes. I got about another $500 that im gonna b using for the celica and some new upgrades and mods. Some of which I have to figure out my choise for what im gonna do about the hatch. my hatch is rusted quite a bit, so i might b going to a FC hatch, so i might b going with somethin different/new that hasnt been made yet. Or i might b going with GT-4 blocks if i stay with my OEM hatch.
