The woes of a 2nd hand car, (and joys), my build thread (PHOTO HEAVY) 56k nogo Options

[dnyluong]

SO I've gotta say that building this car has been so far, nothing but headaches, with a huge doses of happiness in between. I've delayed making a build thread so it's just going to be one huge post for now, until the engine swap comes in, and other goodies. But for now enjoy.

When I first got this car, about 3 months ago, she looked like this:





now obviously this is before wash, and at night, so you can't really see anything, but all you need to know is that the previous owner, abused her, and really stopped caring about her, which made me quite depressed, the interior was also a damn mess.

day after, i took it to get a wash cleaned her up a bit, and threw on a set of rims i had, they're not nice, but they do the trick for summer better than those god awful things that it came with, (which are now back on because it's approaching winter T__T) but here are the pictures






Then i took the celi out to see some friends, an rx7 and a silvia =D it was a good time, but a ****ty day, so i'll only post a few pics



Now, i installed a TRD quickshifter, but it didn't come with the shifter itself just the assembly so it's nothing pretty to look at, no pictures of my interior really, but I got my GT4 spoiler, just in time for the local Calgary 6GC meet. photos can be found in the thread over in meets here http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=58088 but here are some sample pics enjoy!





These pictures were taken by 6gsillyca, KAOS, and walker, haven't seen you guys in awhile either, give a shout soon guys!
I don't really have a close up picture of the GT4 spoiler, but if you can see it, it is carbon fiber =D

and finally, after all of this, she got lowered on Tein S techs, and KYB GR2's front and back (she's also back on the rims she came on, but the ride height is no longer the resemblence of a jeep she looks sleek now, and i just washed her yesterday, took these pictures today (9/28/08)






alright guys, that's it for now, I know it's not much, what can i say, I'll take some more pictures of the little things soon, Lewfx hooked me up with a celica dragon decal, cept I don't have any photos of it. Stay tuned though, I got a wicked deal on a 2nd gen 3sgte which is >1000 not incl. install. and am looking into grabbing a GT4 frontend & hood obv. Thanks for lookin
