This is the story of my car.

I bought my '94 GT from a man in Ootewah, TN in June right before my 17th birthday. It was a internet listing... It looked beautiful in the pictures, so of course I was very excited about $3,000 price covered by an insurance claim from wrecked Maxima (may it rest in peace). I drove 2 hours to find the car and when I arrived... shoot, it was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen. It had a crappy body kit not made for a Celica stuck on with tiny rivets and some kind of caulk, classy flame/lightning bolt decals that had worn down to the sticky, the 18" silver rims had so much clay dust on them they were red, the front bumper at one point had a plate attached and was never repaired, broken high beam and good lord the paint... Plus a couple minor mechanical things, no biggy. I could fill a whole page with the bad. I loved it! I've always been a Celica fan so I took it and promised I'd do all the work myself...

So far in 3 months I have replaced a ruined driver's door and a rusted out hatchid. I removed the side skirts, cut them, extended them with fiberglass and am now molding them back on (the whole kit myself). I bought a Kombat front bumper and have to bend the frame to fit (hit and run in the former life)... I am repainting it myself...


Thanka

Welcome
Im looking forward to seeing the exterior work love seeing things molded that arent supposed to be there lol
Our cars are alot older than people think, and not as many survived, so parts arent as readily available But alot of great things u can find in the forums that people are parting, and can get things for great prices!
Read up on the info articles, and how-to's and FAQ's, helped me out a ton! and the community IS! very helpful, even though u can get the occasional person that will tell you off and say to search and not actually help lol. but 99% of us are very helpful, and full of useless (but sometimes very useful ) knowledge
GL with the build and get some pics
