alright everyone, its finally time for me to stop post whoring and post up my first topic. lol well my celica sat in some farmers feild out here in colorado with no windows for atleast 2 years... so lets just say there was about 2 inches of cow, and rat **** inside the entire car, the story was that the previous owner decided to get drunk and stoned off his ass, then go driving, and missed a turn, and rolled the car over a few times. he owned anouther celica so he took most of the good parts out, and just let it sit, well being a mechanic i couldnt pass up a free car like this so heres some pics of what it looked like, and what it looks like now, feel free to post any build ideas, cause if i get a job soon, she wont be stock for long, this took me about 2 months of 8 hour days, but atleast i did it myself. thanks for lookin.
LR quarter panel, just getting her home for the first time  Left A/B pillars, and crushed in roof  The old roof line  The new roof line with a/b pillars back to factory mesurements  heres a few pics of the car finally legal, and in primer

QUOTE (Ryouxrs @ Apr 26, 2009 - 7:48 PM)  the story was that the previous owner decided to get drunk and stoned off his ass, then go driving, and missed a turn, and rolled the car over a few times. NICE!!  very nice man....very nice...good to see someone else on here doing there own work...thats the only way you learn...not to bad for being rolled a couple times though..lol my only advice to you..since its the good old ST, unless your looking for a full blown project, is get it where you want it, both interior and exterior wise, then save up, and if you have the time, patience, and money, put a 3s in her....if not, sell it and buy a gt for a swap...it makes things a little easier...if your not looking for all that then a nice head unit, system, and some exterior mods and it'll be everything you wanted in a car. good luck with it...keep us updated --------------------  I"M NOT A TOYOTA FAN, IM A FANATIC 1984 accord hatch 5 speed (T-Belt)-Junkyard 1991 VDUB jetta wolfsburg Ed. 5 speed (clutch)-junkyard 1988 Dodge Aries K (sold) 1969 Chevy El camino - Traded for celica 1991 Dodge Daytona-Traded for Celica 1988 Chevy Camaro-Work in Progress 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - For Sale 1995 Toyota Celica-Work in Progress |
