I wrecked my celica in 2010, and this is what i had:
    I got it home and i tried starting it and realized that the main harness was cut, the fuse box was destroyed, the relay box as well. This post has been edited by zfjohnson07: May 20, 2012 - 11:23 AM |

The airbags won't go back off. You need to replace both sensors on either side of the radiator as well as the control module underneath the armrest. The airbags won't go back off no matter what. You have to go to the diagnostic port and jumper some pins to reactivate the airbag system. So no worries. Build away.

looks like you may need new tires as well but the pic of your tire tread doesnt really show it very well.
