So far this summer I have spent a little money on the celica. Had to get a license plate and brake tag so I had to buy a windshield just to get it back on the road. But soo far this summer I have purchased....

New Windshield
New black carpet
New rims for everyday driving
Two 12" SL7s
New CF VIS racing hood

ummm Saturday going to buddies shop to look into making my fiberglass subsetup
Still gotta get the front resprayed
And gotta order two ZX750.1 and battery backup

And hopefully 1" drop before Nopi in Sept.

That should be enough for a little while, right??

Who else has bought something this summer

its great to be on the ground again. And I'll be loving it once I have some bass again. Been driving only my tacoma and the car has been parked since dec. 06. So I'm loving it just trying to get everything back in order 'cause car did sit for awhile.

so far all I've bought this summer was the parts to get my back window on its track. lol

The look on the mechanic's face was priceless when he found out what he was actually going to be fixing laugh.gif hahah poor guy, he's really gonna have his work cut out for him.

But! at least all my windows will be able to go down now and it'll be finally be real a convertible! That window's been busted since last summer...
