Just wanted to post some pictures cause I'm finally pretty happy with the car...


2-1/2 years ago this was my new car...

97 Celica ST Auto 126,310 miles
pinstripe, dull paint
hole in the headlight
4 completely different tires
non-working cassette/radio, alarm system, corner light

^ a little dirty

a few years and a couple modifications later and it's like having a whole new car...

97 ST 165,000+ miles
95 Manual tranny 85,000+ miles
wet sanded/compounded
pinstripe removed
all new headlights
Enkei RS5 wheels with 4 matching tires
Tein S-Tech's & KYB's
Alpine head unit, alarm w/ lcd remote
etc...

of course I've still got my complaints and there are a few more things I'd like taken care of...
[i.e. drums to discs in the rear, new seats, refinish/repaint some things, contemplating a sunroof, etc]
but overall I'm finally happy with where it is now biggrin.gif
