Ok. guys.
My name is Jose Hernandes AKA Joe. I Used to live in Mexico 6 years ago. I still remember the day that i first saw a Celica. It was outside walmart while i was waiting for my family on the car. A Nice car parked newt to my dads car, i was sleeping and the sound woke me up but i didnt paid much attention. Curiosity made me go outside. I saw it! It was a Black Celica with an awesome bodykit (gt-four nowadays). Since that day i wanted one of those. Four years later we moved to Arizona. On December 2005 i worked at a cooler (a place where they make salads). It was a pretty hard job washing machines under extremely low temperatures. Sometimes i wanted to quit but i needed money to get the car i wanted, which was a celica. I had to be at work at 10 pm, so i got off at 7 or 9 am. It was a night shift. Every day when i got home in the mornings, i used to go check everyday the car auctions looking for a celica. I had bad luck for 5 months. so i gave up ![]() ![]() We were checking cars and he said "Let go check out the auctions" but i said no, i have already check them three hours ago. but he insisted so hard that i agreeded. I went to the website and for my surprise the auctions had already been updated! There it was, it was a silver 1996 Celica GT. It was salvage but the dents were not really that extreme to make it a salvage car. But It had to be my car! so instantly i went to the guy that has the license to buy auction cars! And i got it. I bought the car for $2500, it had 104 000 miles and leather interior! Here are some pics of the car when it was on the auction yard. ![]() On the front you can notice a crack on the front bumper and the high beam destroyed ![]() Here is the side view of the car, its a big dent but nothing hard to fix ![]() Here is the back view of the car, lots of ugly sticker and the cap painted black I got the car one week after my birthday. It sat on the garage probably two months. I had to wait for the title of the vehicle in order to pass inspection tests. The repair cost me about 400 dollars, they were really good a fixing stuff but painting sucked! I also spent lot of time looking on yards for the high beam! without luck i ordered it from 1sttoyotaparts.com. Here is a pic of the car fixed, i had more but could not find them. ![]() ![]() On 2007 i met David (coldbluesteel). He had a selling thread where he had almost everything for a gt four conversion, no one seemed to jump on his sale. After time of discussing i bought lots of parts from him he gave me the chance because i didnt had all the money so i saved for probably 5 months. I work at a shoe store making 7 and hour so you can imagine it was pretty hard to get all the money for the conversion . I went to pick up the parts at Las Vegas Baby!!!!!!!! It was a really cool trip! i have lots of pics from that day, there is one of me and David sealing our deal! ![]() ![]() I will leave this space for the pics at las vegas while picking up the parts so check back soon!!!! Now the car was ready for the transformation! Thanks to Colin (gottagoturbo) he provided me with the rest of the parts needed for the conversion. So thank alot Colin, i lost contact with him after buying him lots of parts. I think he doesnt checks his emails anymore. Well i had a rough time deciding the paint color. At first i wanted to be silver, the same color my car was. But then i saw this lexus with a black blue color, and i felt in love with the color, so i went with Black Sapphire Pearl. Here is a pic of how the color looks really close, i have tried taking pictures to show you the beauty of this color but it is really hard to capture with photos, you have to see it in person to appreciate the nice blue metallic it shines. ![]() I spent $1500 on the shop. They had the car for almost one month, i received the car two weeks ago, when i first saw my car i was so amazed! it was a pretty weird feeling, i could not believe that i was looking at my car! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The car is not ready though. there is still more work to be done with the front lip. but that will come later. for now check this pictures, i will post some more high def later. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are some pics i took yesterday while outside work, enjoy ![]() My Favorite Picture ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As You can see, i fell in love with the hood ![]() ![]() ![]() Here You can see How i need some rims in a hurry ![]() MORE DETAILS COMING SOON This post has been edited by joehernandez: Jul 12, 2010 - 12:33 PM -------------------- ![]() |

Having wanted a 6th Gen Celica since they were new, and FINALLY getting mine last July, this is a story I completely relate to! The car looks beautiful. You're off to an awesome start. I have a lot of respect for you and for how hard and diligently you worked to get what you wanted. It's a great show of character.

same story here too. searched forever in the salvage auctions for a celica and finally found one after about a year of searching, so i bought it. fixed it. drove it for a couple of years before i found a gt-four for parts, so i did the conversion thereafter. car is in the shop now for some fresh paint and will be coming home any day now for a few treats
![]() the car looks great btw, just need a set of projectors and possibly some wheels to complete the look. i hope you got that gt-four latch thing all sorted out... -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

looks good man i'm glad my lip is on there ![]() do you still have the silver bumper though? if so i may be interested. mines all dinged up. LMK get some new wheels on that bad boy HEhe thanks goferris, well actually your lip is still on the garage, i might sell it but im thinking to keep it as a replacement if something happens to the the one i have right now, I have not even installed the suspension technique springs that coldbluesteel gave to me and the car its almost everytime i get out of the house. The front bumper is still on the shop. but the paint is already coming off, i will take pictures of it and showed them to you OK that is awesome color. GT4 in mexico? wow. I never realized they sent them over there must have been imported. now start saving for that engine..... Thanks NJCCMD, yeah mi next mod is the engine, right now i will have two jobs, will be getting at least 2000 a month, so hope by the end of this year the car will have the engine. 3SGTE by the way. Oh and also, i live in Arizona but i used to live in mexico, 6 years of learning english jejeje damn, that looks nice. i've seen the lexus black sapphire pearl in person so i bet your car looks 10x better than those pics. everything looks awesome. where'd you get those trd skirts? and what did you do with your stock ones... can i have them? Thanks! so you agree that the color looks pretty sick in person huh ![]() as far as i know, the skirts i have on the car are not the trd ones, they are 404 skirts, coldbluesteel didnt really told me if they were the TRD ones. the stock ones i had, are on the garage taking up space, i will post a selling thread on the following weeks, theres lots of leftovers from the conversion. so check back soon. +1 for the engine BUT get some projectors, doesn't suit it with just high beams looks SLEEEEEEK as ![]() Thanks man, engine is the next big mod, 3SGTE, but i still have to find more info about it, projectors still undecided because they are pretty expensive for a pair. but will keep in mind. Having wanted a 6th Gen Celica since they were new, and FINALLY getting mine last July, this is a story I completely relate to! The car looks beautiful. You're off to an awesome start. I have a lot of respect for you and for how hard and diligently you worked to get what you wanted. It's a great show of character. Thanks a lot. Like i always say, patience will take you everywhere, 7 months of looking for parts, asking people, reading info about the parts, and finally im all happy with the results. Thanks a lot for what you said, that is what helps me keep going with my projects. ![]() same story here too. searched forever in the salvage auctions for a celica and finally found one after about a year of searching, so i bought it. fixed it. drove it for a couple of years before i found a gt-four for parts, so i did the conversion thereafter. car is in the shop now for some fresh paint and will be coming home any day now for a few treats ![]() the car looks great btw, just need a set of projectors and possibly some wheels to complete the look. i hope you got that gt-four latch thing all sorted out... wheel are coming probably in less than a month, still checking the options. But i thought you already had the car painted red less than 2 years ago, are you changing the paint again? projectors still undecided, if i can find them for a low price i will get them,. oh yeah thanks for the info about the latch, it makes a lot of noise when i open the hood, so i will probably just need to make it 1 cm longer. but thanks a lot. wow, your car looks siiiick, from how stock it looked to what it is today, niiice job, i've been waiting for you to start up a thread on your progress, the paint looks awesome thanks for the comments. check back soon for more info and more pics. you should also post a thread of your progress! -------------------- ![]() |

No Joe, you actually DO have TRD or could be trd replica sideskirts, those are definitely not 404's because the one thing that differentiates the two is the bulge at by where it lines up to the fenders...yours is still the sleek line aligning which means you have trd ones.

slight suggestion
![]() if i were you i would take off the bumper and spray the crash bar black so it's not as noticeable it would look a lot better IMO. don't worry about your old bumper. i just need to get mine painted. i'm sure that someone will buy it though. i'll probably do it the same time as when i paint my SS-III rear extensions (which i need to do soon) then my exterior will be about finished are you planning on new rims? if so what were you thinking?

I'd like to, but I think the current wheels go with the car:
Be sure to post up pics though man, I REALLY want to see those wheels on a Celi. They are one of the nicest designs (IMO) I've seen in a long time. This post has been edited by Fastbird: Jul 26, 2008 - 12:51 AM -------------------- |

Perfect match IMO. ![]() do you really think that!! after i installed the suspension tecnique springs, the car lowered so much on the front that the lip was only 2 or 3 inches from the ground, so i had to take it off, but i went back and asked them to put back the original springs on the car, now the car looks a lot lifted from the front, and i dont like that either, i dont feel like paying again to change the springs! i think the car looks more killer with the lip man, ![]() -------------------- ![]() |

It's a personal opinion thing man - do whatever makes you happy. Either way you have a very beautiful car that you made to your tastes so be proud ![]() yeah i do like it a lot also without the lip, but the thing is that i installed back the springs on the front, so the car i way more lifted on the front now, so that i would be able to install the lip without be hitting on every little bump, but i will see how that goes, if not, they i will go back to the suspension technike springs on the front, and sorry but the lip will have to see the end it that happens. thanks again man, i am so proud of my car cuz it reflects all the effort that i have put in in it. it feels cool that people on the streets park next to you and give you thumbs up every two or three days. X2 on that i like it much better without the lip...the lip looks a lil ricey and detours from the actual bumper.. now u need projectors... yeah it does detours from the actual bumper, that can be fixed modifyng it but it looks really hard, the projectors, i am thinking about it, they are too expensive in my opinion, having in mind that most of the cars have really bad ass headlights from third party companies. but yeah i have been thinking about it for a long time, if you see my myspace profile, you will notice that it says as my name, spider-joe vr. 5.0, which reflects the versions or upgrades that my car has completed, now i am on 5. the highest is the 10, and the 6 or 7 mod is definitely a swap, i even wonder how my car will be on level 10 hehehehe so exactly wat kinda rims are those?? these are the R-1 18x8.5 Hype with mass lip,, or you mean something different? you mean 18x7.5" right? cause they never made those in 18x8.5 plus they wouldn't fit yeah something like that, i totally forgot about the other numbers hehe thanks for the correction I wanted those wheels BADLY when we got new wheels in April. Now, I want them more. Awesome wheels. They look great on your car. I have been looking at these rims for almost a year, but i didn't had money, now that i have to jobs, i could afford them, they look sick ass in person man! trade yours, i bet you they would also look excellent on you red car! -------------------- ![]() |
