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.

Fixed my rust spot.









It got dark so I wasn't really able to get a picture of the finished product.

Today I spent most of the day taking these one way bolts off with this 11mm socket.


Now who can guess what these bolts came off of?

nothing ive ever touched on my car, thats for sure

What's different

There is a blue tarp on one of the bikes? Lol

Nice risers!

Thanks! Lol the blue tarp is actually a scooter some guy gave us cause it was broken

Today I got bored and started taking pics lol. Well here's what it looks like right now.











I need coilovers in my life~

is that a store that just sells honeybaked ham?

LOL I asked my friend the exact same thing and he said yes

they also have sandwiches and café stuff depending on location.

You should come down to the VA side and go to great falls cars and coffee some time!

I was there last Saturday! I was gonna post on here if anyone around wanted to meet up but by the time I found out I was going It was way too short notice. I might be going up there again though next Saturday or the Saturday after though
