I've had the car since december 09 but because of the rod knock i didnt drive it much until june when i sold my honda....I never really worked on it until september when I was rear ended. The damage was minor but left my bumper looking tacky...it was a quick fix and the insurance money went towards the new motor.


i bought used springs but decided to have a little fun and cut em down a little bit lol


after doing a little research on celicas the potential for this car sky rocketed and so i invested in some rim...

next came the inake...

since im getting tired of seeing all the other verts in either white black or red can some of yall suggest some colors for a paint job nothin off the wall or to bright.....I'd figure some input might expand my view
painting interior pieces tonight....all interior pieces took off at 2:45 am
I was gonna paint my car charcoal grey and change out the top for a black top but decided i like the black and tan top

Representing the Convertible Crew since 2008




lol ignore the tacky switch its been there since i bought the car just havent got around to replacin the rear window switch i wired both to the one switch
Looks good, i think the interior is missing something when its all black. too dull for the celica frown.gif
Does ur stereo have rca IN, in the rear? you should use those to plug in stuff like an ipod instead of the front aux spot. Just my opinion, i hate the cord running down the front, bugged the crap out of me when I used to have it

>i like the clock

its the teal color i took off the brown piece that was covering it i want to make it white to go with my interior lights and shift boot

I like that interior painting man.

I've only had the Celica a few days..Could you tell me how to take that trim off the center dash section so I can paint it?
pull it out...the shift trim first then the rest.
It all just pulls right out? I don't wanna get too excited and break something. lol

my word of advice would have been to run it out into the fender and then down through. reason is that it would be farther from the engine.
it's looks pretty sweet though! battery relocation? wink.gif

next pay check lol its in the way but i started running it into the the fender but got frustrated trying to get the wheel well cover off and the rest of my stock intake out.....its like 8 degrees out here so it was something quick but come spring it will be relocated
that's understandable lol
i was installing my new fog lights in the same degree weather and my hands were numb as hell haha
the only thing I didn't put on the aftermarket wires I was running was the cover, which makes it look neater, but i could have cared less at the time laugh.gif
