[zakinabox]

Hey guys im brand new to the 6gc, got my first one about a month ago now and i want it to be my first ever project car, problem is i dont know where to start... im loving the car completely as a stock 94 gt liftback but i really want to go all out on this car (over time). Any tips, pointers, or ideas on where to start would be great! thanks!

thanks for all the input guys, as far as i know everything is 100% stock. it needs a little bit of body work, but nothing terrible and then its just tuning up and out haha, ill deff post some pics asap, gotta say im so pumped to find a site with so much information and so many knowledgeable and kind people.. as for an idea of where im going with the car, i know i must do all the brakes, (including hand brake wich at the moment does NOTHING) and fix a few spots that have varying degrees of rust... after that so far i really want to focus mainly on performance, and power,... in my opinion the celica is a very nice looking sleeper, and i love the way the body looks... i want to make it as powerful and fun as possible... and random tidbits..

150k miles
P1AA fog lights wiring set up wired when bought but no actual lights,
ABS lights on but brakes work fine and handbrake does nothing
Drivers side door has rot across the bottom
rear passenger wheel well small rot
and finally exhaust was broken in 3 places when bought, right before muffler and right after cat, fixed part by muffler so far.

(got it for $1000 running great at a helping hands of America)
