My First Celica, 42000 Miles!!! Options

[skull_kid]

Hey 6gc, this is my first post.
Love the site and the people on it, so I just had to finally get on this thing.

I've been a member since I first started looking for my Celica, which is also my first car, as I always dreamed it would be.

She's a 99 Celica GT hatchback with 40906 miles at the time of purchase.
Silver with black leather interior, alloy wheels, 5 speed.
Bone stock, one owner.

The car has been sitting for the better part of 12 years.

Since transporting her home, I've gotten a full 60k service and tune, and installed brand new JDM taillights.

The only major flaws in the interior is a missing cover for the pocket under the CD player and some cracked leather on the shoulder of the driver's seat.
Here she is:










So, do I win some sort of record for this find?

My new tailgate came out of the shop today!








I found this about a month ago on a wrecked Celica in a salvage yard.
It was black and had all the trim, so I got it repainted and repaired, and I'll be able to wax it in a couple weeks.

I'll have to swap out the wiper motor but that's about it.

When I'm ready, I'll be able to use this hatch with the riser blocks.
Until then, I'm very happy with my 3 post wing

About my brakes and header questions, I guess I'll have more luck if I start a new thread for that.
