Well done on the seats I have spare '98 seats and a 7th gen that might be going for scrap soon. If I didn't have SS-III seats then I would be tempted.

The wiring for the mirrors is straight forward, but the hardest part is just running those two extra wires through the door harness, all the way across the car, and back through the other door harness lol

You have the premium sound system but, do you know if all the celicas come with the bracket for the 8in speaker? I want to do this exact same (putting kicker subs in there) once I'm done with the rest of the car.

Looking forward to seeing the results on the rear quarter piece. I'm suffering from rust in the same area.

fixed the threads for the DP and bolted it on. Berk Tech really has an amazing product, worth every single penny!

This is the DP I want for mine. It looks great! Is this the 2nd or 3rd version? Do you think it wouldbe worth it to get the ceramic powdercoated version?

Its the 3rd gen version, the powder coated one looks nice as well and isn't much more expensive, probably worth getting that one since it will keep some heat in better than the plain stainless..

Where are you going to run your wire harness through? The normal port where the 5S harness goes, or are you going to punch a hole in on the driverside-ish?

The motor I got was already swapped into a celica so the harness was already extended to go through the stock 5S spot, so I'll just run it through the same spot. |
