this will be the thread that il post the progress of my 96' celica as it comes along.

here is some pics of the car as it was in march-2010




when i got the car, the dash lights were burnt out, soo i fixed it.


then i went to cleaning the inside. (previous owner left it horrific..)



while i was doing that, i decided to de-badge the rear
right after i took them off (un-cleaned)


and after i cleaned it up




i think this would be a nice spot for the now "homeless" badges
(please excuse the dirty carpet in the trunk, when i vacuumed, it wasn't in the car)

well, a month or so ago, i was planning on selling my Celica GT to get a 5-speed. but then decided to keep it and have a bit of fun.
I now have a semi stable job and can finally save money. my list of parts for the spring/summer (spring should be the body work, summer is the performance) is as follows:

1. Front Lip or Front Bumper I haven't decided, most likely the lip, since there would be less modifying it to make it fit. but then again, the bumper looks BA
2 Megan Coilovers either from here (if they're in stock) or from eBay
3. have my whole car resprayed (the same stock color since there is a rust issue and pealing clear coat)
4. either buy one of _Jim_'s 3SGTE engines, or just have my 5SFE rebuilt and turbo it.

My "right now" project is coming from Mike (mkernz22) from his parts car. I'll post pics of what I'm going to do.. when its done.
