Where to start.....
i picked up this celica over the summer from a guy locally for 300 bucks... it was hit in the front and needed both fenders, a hood, a bumper, all new lights, ((basically a whole new front end)) .. i've found alot of the stuff i need and i'm starting to get it all ready to have it painted. but unfortunately i've ran into some rust issues i'm fixing here and there but all and all its not too bad. this will be a continuous thread of my progress throughout the winter and hopefully finishing in spring if it all goes good first things first, so far i've collected 2 new hoods, a passenger side fender, passenger side lo and hi beams, and a driver side hi beam light, and as of today i bought a new stock bumper on ebay! So needless to say all i'm in search of now is a driver side fender and driver side lo beam. All i've really done so far is got it stripped down and started to sand , and just as a little treat to myself i've installed some new white face gauges here are some pics of the progress so far! And More To come, i'll try to update every day ! Enjoy feel free to drop suggestions anytime This post has been edited by NOVAKx17: Nov 16, 2009 - 12:48 AM -------------------- NOVAKx17

I say go JDM tails, or you can tint your existing tails. But go for JDM tails...I don't want people copying me.

Put some jack stands under the car next time, and always let somebody know you will be working under your car in case anything happens. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
