While I'm in Iraq..., big changes being done! Options

[Verde97]

Hey everyone...

I just wanted to let everyone know who I am real quick if you all don't know...I am a Corporal in the Marines about to leave Iraq, and I have bought a few things off some people on the board (thanks, you know who you are!). My Celica is a '97 LE with the dark green paint. If you look at my pictures in my profile, it needed a lot of work. I had 18's on it that weren't doing it for me (I won them in a car show, and don't like them much...too low a profile for my taste). My car needed repainting. So the list is as follows (all is already paid for):

7th gen GTS rims
Hankook tires
404a body kit, with SSIII rear splitters
new paint (same color)

My dad was greatful enough to get my car to the body shop while I was out here and she is getting painted as I type this. Body kit installed, the works. As soon as everything gets put on the car, I will post pics. I'd say it will be about a week or so (the tires haven't yet made it to the house). She will be a totally different car when I get home, I can't wait.

Just wanted to let everyone get a little antsy on waiting for pics.

Heh, thanks fellas. Everyone here appreciate's all the support for the military that is given back home. And it is exciting to be coming back to the US after being gone since February. And to come home to a pimp Celica.

Yea Luke I'll call you when I get back. Expect around late Sept.

Thats awesome to be able to come home to your car all nice and purrrdy. Be safe over there.


do you want to rid yourself of the 18's? or have you already sold them off? I would be interested.

What's your MOS?

[Verde97]

Thanks for the comments everyone.

18's are not sold. I'll keep you informed.

My MOS originally is 2311, an ammunition specialist. But, out here I am an 0311, your basic rifleman. I belong to a rifle company that is responsible for the security of the base. I've seen some bad stuff, but we haven't lost anyone. No real injuries, either. We are very greatful for that. I usually patrol the area in the turret of a hum-vee with a .50 Cal Machine Gun. Good stuff.

Anyway, back on topic the pics of the car should be getting sent to me soon. Keep looking for them. And madmods, we all think like that out here (at least the Marines do).
