History of the car

Bought it almost 2 years ago now with just over 210k (around there). After 4 - 5 months of having her, I was in a car accident that messed up the front end. During the summer of 2010, I bought a full parts car and rebuilt the front end of my car. At that point it was silver in the front and black in the back, for over a year. Last November, I picked up another parts car that had just about 219k on it and was a standard (mine was an automatic at the time). In April of 2011, I did a transmission swap right in my driveway, with the help of Dustin and Steph (I cannot thank you both enough!). During that swap, I changed all the interior and exterior wiring over from the '94 Celica because it was the manual harnesses and also non-ABS. Also, I converted to the non-ABS braking system because my ABS had not worked in the first place, and I fully deleted the airbag system because I never replaced them after my accident. Over this past summer, 2011, I started doing all the body work on my car to get it ready for paint, and I recently got her painted at the end of November.

Other than those I'm just going to be saving up for the next 4 years, while I'm in college, to buy a front and rear 3sgte clip. After college, I plan to do a RHD, AWD, and 3sgte swap my car so that it will be a replica GT4. Things might change cosmetically on the car in the 4 years, but it shouldn't be that much at all.
