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

got the speakers in...took me like 2 hours to do the drivers side...took me 20 min to do the passangers..lol. I finished up the brackets today, sanded them down, painted them up, then mounted every thing in the car and it sounds sooo good. Nice crisp clear sound and doesnt distort at higher levels. Im probably gonna need to go out and buy a 4 channel amp sometime soon to power the speakers.
Some pics
the mount waiting to dry...

New tweeters mounted up


And as for sarahs car...i went to put her new decklid on...but one of the struts wouldnt come off the trunk or mount...so tomorrow i gotta go to the local scrap yard to get the mount and struts off this


dont ask for any thing off it though...its pretty much been picked clean. Mostly by me and sarah, but it was missing things like the door, wheels, suspension, etc.

So next bit of plans are..97 front end, GT4 spoiler blocks, OEM sides, JDM headlights, new seat covers *custom made ones*, and bringing the interior back to stock looking. No more painted interior bits. So as soon as i start my job at toyota next week, im gonna b ordering all the parts to get this thing starting to look the way ive wanted it to look since i got it 2 years ago. So i think Stage 3 is done for now...but stage 3.5 is gonna start around Dec or so..depending on if i get a winter beater or not.
