Overkill's 6GC GT Journal Options

[Overkill]

Greetings!

My name is Brock aka Overkill. I have been a member since 2004, but have not been a regular visitor until recently. I have decided to start a journal to capture the 6GC journey I am about to embark. Some of you might know me from the chat room, some of you might have met me back when HTC was formed, and some of you might know me as Matt aka Death's Brother-n-Law. Back in 2003 when I was working with Matt I bought a 1990 Supra 7mge auto. I really loved that car even-though it was a "turd". It was a pain in the ass, but a lot of fun to drive. I believe my max speed on the car was only 118mph, but it was still a fun car. Matt has always had a celica, ever since I met him. Hell, I've even been in an accident with Matt IN one of his celicas. Seeing the progress he has made with his newest has made me decide to follow in his footsteps.

I have been looking over the last month or so to try to find the right Celica to begin the journey. After a long search, I believe I have found the one. She is a 1994 GT 5-speed. She is Turquoise Pearl and has 186k miles. I am going to Austin Saturday to test drive, but I am almost positive that I will be bringing her home with me.

I decided to keep this journal for future enthusiasts who want to see the progression, so that they too might become part of our family.

Ideal Future upgrades: Stereo (I believe it does not have one at the moment)
Alarm ( also believe that it does not have one at the moment)
Tune up & Tires (possibly rim w/ tires)
Windshield replacement (has a long crack in wind shield)
Suspension (FSTB, RSTB, Coilovers)
Breaking (Drilled & Slotted rotors w/ Upgraded Calipers and SB breaklines)

There are a ton of other modifications I plan on, these listed above are on my top priority. (Ofcourse... Saturday has to get here first)


I will take pictures on Saturday, and keep everyone posted. Wish me luck... Im sure I will need it!

Alright. I found a couple of celicas here in dallas....(where I am now), and the first one was the ST. It had a very nice engine, but the body was completely ragged out. I called the guy with the GT at 3:15. He told me that he had to go get a guy from the airport, but that if I could wait till 6:00, he could show it to me then. We told him no problem, and headed for the mall for 3 hours. I called him at 6, and he told me that he was still at the airport, that his friends plane was late. I was waiting in the car and received a text message from him about 20 minutes later saying that the car was sold. Supposedly when he got home, a guy was waiting with cash.

TWO TIMES in ONE weekend, I have been stiffed by jackasses! Maybe I am just not meant to be a 6gc family member.
