Hi all, I'm not sure who is still here from when I had my other 6gc, but I just picked up another 95 yesterday, which makes this my 4th celica, and my 3rd white celica smile.gif Here's a couple refresher pics of my old 6th gen, maybe someone will remember those better than my description of it:
First it was stock:

Then it got turbo'ed


Then the engine blew up

Then it got a used engine and a paint job, shortly before selling it


Now the new car:







It's got 175K miles on it, but only about 60K on the engine. I bought it from the second owner who has had it since 1999, making me the 3rd owner of this garage kept and well maintainted celica. I counted only one small ding in the whole car! My plans as of right now is just to make it even more aesthetically pleasing, it's going to be my daily driver so I don't think I'll do anything too crazy, but perhaps a beams swap down the road... So what do you guys think smile.gif
