Thank you, I appreciate it! Its funny the snow tires I bought for the beater today cost $25 more then the car did
Should be a beast though!
-Moving the car to my storage garage tonight, then if all goes as planed this weekend my body guy will be over to wet sand all the freshly painted panels, and then full 3 stage compound buff the entire car. So she should look really nice. Now just to find time to get the damn bags on this thing

Celica looks great! I feel sorry for all the people up north that can't drive their fun car year round or if it's an only car that heavily influences what they get.
I'm surprised you found a relatively nice car that runs and drives for $300, I figured those days were long gone thanks to the government and their stupid cash for clunkers program but I guess there's been enough later model used cars added into the market to make it happen.

Thank you, and yea I always seem to find good ones lol, my last beater (91 celica GT-S) and the one before that (92 Celica GT) I bought under $600.00. The 91 lasted me 4 years of daily driving. She went to the scrap yard running great with 378k on the clock

So I have some nice subtle carbon fiber parts on the way for the exterior, honestly I had no idea anyone even offered these peices. I'm pretty excited to say the least however they will take a little over a month to get to me
Meanwhile I figured it was time to start focusing on the interior . Decided to order a hub for the steering wheel I have and finally get that installed. As for seats I am still debating what I want to do . I really want the Recaro confetti seats however I have these perfect condition leather and suede Evo9 Recaro seats I could install. Either way plan on having rears cost of upholstered to match the fronts. Really trying to get the car where I want it before the end of January. There is a huge indoor show here in Michigan (AutoRama) in the middle of February, and I would like to attend it.
Here is a picture of the wheel, when I first got the car. Was debating then to install it.

Well it depends on what look you want, the EVO IX seats would kind of modernize the interior somewhat whereas the JDM confetti seats would be most excellently 90's. If you're like me and like having airbags you could do the 7th gen steering wheel swap, at least that's what I was going to do before I sold it.
2001 Miata LS 5-speed
Yea, exactly what I was thinking with interiors also. I want the car to look era correct, which is why I'm going to hold off and continue searching for nice confetti seats. As far as the wheel go I'm not a big fan of the 7th gen wheel, or maybe it's because everyone has them. No airbag does not bother me as long as it's equity with a collapsible hub. I was thinking a 94 GT4 wheel would suit it well, but finding one not trashed is difficult. I really think the style of this Nardi wheel is just right. Making cruise work and mount maybe tricky, but I'm sure it won't be too difficult.

Have you seen that Mike is selling a set of covers? You may need to pick up a set of '96+ seats to make them work but that shouldn't be too expensive.

The '94 ST205 or the '99 wheel would be different and model correct, though the '99 is similar to the wheel used in 7th gens and a lot of the later Toyotas. The Nardi wheel looks good and if removing the airbag isn't a concern then might as well use it since you like it and have it already.

Having a difficult time deciding on what to do with the front of the car. Part of me thinks the Euro splitters is all I need to make the car flow well, then another part of me really wants to order the Eurou Front lip simply because it is my favorite. I am scoring a Euro rear bumper lip this week which I am pretty excited about. Have been looking for one for some time now. Also found the window rain guards I have looked long and hard for, however it's looking like it will be over a month before I receive them
. Also came across some beautiful Recaro SR3 confetti front seats, however with the holidays and recent evo parts I just don't have the extra $1,100 to make them mine
I shall see what I can make happen though..
(What the Euro rear lip should look like after install and paint)
How the car would look with the Eurou front lip

Eurou lip costs about 700-800 shipped and several weeks of waiting just in case you wanted to know. why don't you just use the C-one front lip?

They are actually much more affordable then I originally anticipated. $203.00 for the lip and $308.00 for DHL shipping to my work. But yea 2-4week wait on them (Seems to be that way for anything with this car). In my opinion the lines on the c-one lip just don't look right. I love how it looks in pictures, Not so much in person.

I've always liked the TOM's Magic lip the most, which is was meant for facelifted bumpers but it works on pre-facelifted ones too:
Though it'd look better if the openings in the sides of the GT-Four bumper were filled in and smoothed out, but you've already painted the car so that wouldn't be feasible. Then again the C-ONE lip leaves them exposed as well. I think I like the Euro more than the C-ONE though.

Yea the Toms lip looks good on the face lift bumper, I'm not a huge fan of it on the GT4 front. The sides do seem to flow well with the side skirts however. Eurou lip it is, Hopefully I like it.

I think the Euro lip will look good, would look really good with some clear turn signal indicators. The biggest jump in the bumper to the lip is next to the indicators and the orange draws your attention to it, clear would make those blend in with the rest of the lighting and wouldn't draw in attention to the area. A European member, Wolf or Wolfie? they had a Porsche 944, used to make and sell clear lenses moulded off the factory originals and they looked really good. At least that's what I'd do anyway.

U might be right, they look good in pics not sure about in person.
Then again the eurou lip is a half bumper lip and is made to match the height of the eurou or Trd skirts so idk either me and you are in the same dilemma since I bought the cone also, but a replica of the eurou lip is supposedly being produced now.
Maybe u should paint and try it on or maybe they look better in black

Right, lucky the car has the body line going down the door and quarter that seems to match the leading edge of the Eurou Lip (Or at least very close). I wish I could get the Eurou skirts and the Zapt rear bumper. This set up all in all looks the best. But the Version 1 skirts are impossible to find along with the zapt rear cover. Not to mention how much I HATE fiberglass and would prefer to have as little of it as possible on my car.
Eurou lip, ver 1 skirts, & zapt rear cover.

I got the oem Crystal clear side markers and the auto art clear indicators, much nicer than wolfies.
Wolfies is good if you get the muddy clear side
Markers and get his muddy indicators.

Yea, I'm not sure if I am a big fan of the clear indicators or not yet. Personally the orange looks fine to me. The OEM clear lamps looks good as well, but I'm not a fan of the crystal ones. They remind me of something you would instal on an accord back in the early 2000's. When I installed the front end I purchased all new OEM orange lamps, so I don't think i will be changing them just yet. But we shall see.

wolfie's own is not really oem just reproduced as semi clear similar to the OEM amber ones with the same transaparency just white instead. But sure yea I don't think you could go wrong either way. I also have the amber indicators and side markers as well as spares.
below you can see the difference with placing an amber bulb inside which pretty much makes the whole thing amber and then clear bulbs on clear. really is a preference between preface and facelift concept of amber vs clear.
oem frosted clear vs oem crystal clear
Wolfie clear vs Autoart clear
so you would basically match the OEM frosted clear with Wolfie (Classic JDM), and the OEM crystal clear with the Autoart Clear (Modern)
