hello guys Options

[-mo-]

just wanted to post a hello to everyone and introduce myself. i had a 94 celica at200 (if i remember body codes correctly) from 96-01 when it met its end at the hands of a punk in an suv. i loved that car a lot and never really felt the same about another one even though i went through a few since then. i guess it was just around at the right time and had a lot of good memories attached to it.

either way, the time came to pick up a beater car to save gas and wear and tear on my other car (thats my story and im sticking to it) so i picked up a 95 st204 that was sitting on the side of the road. this poor beast had been through a lot but the body was straight with no apparent signs of serious damage. although, there is some shoddy bondo work and its been sprayed on the drivers side. also there are the usual assortment of minor dings throughout. oddly enough, i've never seen another celica with this amount of sun damage to the paint...its really bad.

well, i got it home and proceeded to rip the entire interior out...sans the steering wheel and dash (not even worth the effort) and cleaned the whole thing out like and old english maid. new carpet, seat covers, various junk yard pieces, a ton of soap and water, and the interior is a thing of beauty again...well, almost. there were many years of ash, dirt, grime, and mystery stains to contend with.

of course, this is supposed to be a practical beater car...riiiiiight...

so if all goes as planned, either a 3sgte or some poor v6 will end up in the bonnet and an assortment of loud making crap in the boot. body work and paint to follow after all the interior and engine work is done. i had great luck with the intrax springs, so they will go on with new wheels after the car is painted.

ok, enough to chew on for now...pics to follow sometime soon...

btw, this site is a blessing to those of us who love this car. im sure my little celi would have been far more modded back then if i had these resources at my disposal. celica love wasnt as freely shared as it is now, and for that i wanted to take a second and thank coomer and everyone else who is responsible for this site and its up-keep...as well as all those who keep it going with insightful advise and kick ass mods. i for one appreciate you guys...thanks

Welcome.

Dont forget to surf the stickys; it's a fortune of Celica information.

(I'd go with the 3s-gte, for that swap you were talkin about)
