6G Celicas Forums

My name is Julian. I've been on 6gc for about a year and I think its finally time to start a build thread.

Basically, my brother bought this car used way back when he was in high school. When he owned the car he had dream's of converting it to a GT-Four.
Since then he bought a new car and lost interest in the Celica and was going to sell it, but one day he asked if I wanted it and I said sure.

When I first got the keys the car had been sitting in my driveway for about 3 years. It needed new breaks and wouldn't start due to an electrical problem with the fuel pump. But I finally got her working!



After that the car stayed at home for another month till I got my license. In that time I changed the oil and all the fluids, replaced the front driver side fender, the front axles, and the clutch hydraulics. Then I finally got my license and she was on the road.







Through the weeks I started to grow a larger attachment to the car, but it still felt like I was driving my brothers car so I decided to start fixing more things.
As the weeks went by I had started replacing warn interior bits and pieces as I found them. I replaced the torn shift boot, head unit, a few interior trim pieces, and ordered a kit from Spree to make my dash and climate control blue and the interior all LED.









I spent the next couple of months doing small things here and there but nothing really major until a a few weeks ago I bought some new 7th gen GT-S wheels.



Along with the wheels came some HIDs I bought from a local tuning shop and it all went in that weekend.



I plan to swap a 3sgte into the car but I don't see that happening anytime soon, but I'm currently working on ordering all my suspension parts and getting a rust spot in the rear quarter panel fixed up so then I can maybe have the car re painted in the coming months.
