Sup guys, I've been posting here for a couple months trying to work out bugs with my ride. Well spring has finally sprung and I've started doing my thing to the Celi.
Here's the breakdown; '95 GT Coupe, 5 speed, 14x,000 miles. Traded it straight up for my Jeep, cost; $60 Needed new battery; $70 Water pump + timing belt replaced; $288 Ebay window tint [to be installed] $30 Ebay N1 black tip muffler [T.B.I] $30 Dropzone 2" coils + KYB GR2s [T.B.I]; $230 Paint & supplies...$20 Grand total so far including the car......drum roll......$728 Onto some pics of the transformation so far, and stay tuned, there's plenty more to come, including LOWAR, weight reduction, exhaust, music....   After wheel painting today, a little Niteshades, painted front lip and TRD decals.

I would like to add I'm keeping this car clean and mean, that's my style. I know I probably won't be very popular here because a lot of you are more into the fancy aspect. I just want people to see my car and be like "Damn, that looks like a sweet little race car"...Something like that. lol It's actually getting basically the same treatment as my Jeep did. Blacked out and clean, except this time instead of a lift kit, it's getting an anti-lift kit. Pix of Jeep. Start.  End. [traded for Celi straight up, needed dem MPGs]

Your second pic on your first post is my favorite! Everything compliments eachother in it. The only real color in the pic is the yellow bridge sign & the lights. VERY NICE!
