Hey everyone, just poppin in to say that I am the proud new owner of a 1997 Celica GT Convertible Limited Edition (I think the limited just means the top and interior came tan?). It was actually my brothers car before it was mine, but I've always loved it and he liked my 99 Explorer Sport so we swapped titles...I think I got the better end of the deal
 . I look forward to working on the vehicle and had to give props to everyone in here for their cars. The last car I did any serious work on was a 94 Ford Probe GT that I ended up having to sell because I made it too fast for my maturity level at the time and ended up with no license and no insurance so hopefully, now, 7 years later, I won't get out of hand....  My long term goal would be to be able to take my dad in his Porsche Boxster S (maybe...maybe...maybe not?). Anyways, just wanted to say hello, so...Hello .

Thank you for the welcomes everyone, and I'll post some pics later on today. I didnt' figure it was going to be cheap to make a seven thousand dollar car take on a seventy thousand dollar car. My plan right now is to work mostly on whats under the hood and save money by not doing too much to the interior and exterior. I'd like to do a 2nd or 3rd generation 3S-GTE, CAI, exhaust, new suspension. About the only work to the exterior will be those JDM headlights, shaved all the way around and possibly a lambo/vertical door kit. We'll see though, right now I'm just happy to have the car and will be enjoying it fully

forget about Boxster, they look like frogs so maybe faster today but tomorrow is promising if you dedicate time and $$$ to your celi.
