Look What Santa Gave Me, A 94 Coupe!, updated pics of it clean with new rims pg 2 Options

[jcbass7]

So I was going to keep this on the DL... but I couldn't resist sharing some photos etc.

I drove 14 hours in two days to go pick this car up and now it will be my DD. The 3S still sits and waits for time and money etc.

So here she is.... (there are two cars pictured, both black so don't get them mixed up.. one is the coupe I just got and one is the 3S hatch I've had for a while)

the drive there...







The car at my house (3S in the background)



The Hatchback 3S all apart...





















Some of you I'm sure will recognize this car...

Anywho I took the JDM High's and Lows from the 3S and put them on as well as the HID's for the Lows..

I need to clean some things up a bit and do some small things here and there before I get back to school, but otherwise she should be good.

I'm going to put my 17x8 TSW rims and tires on there since they are better and have more tread and no bulges etc. Also I really don't like gold that much..

ohh snap, you bought dafts car!!
i painted that car in single stage jesse, just so you know, no wet sanding and buffing allowed, you'll kill the pearl in it.

paint looks georgous in person...that pearl is sweet....stage 1 paint sucks though for the fact you cant wet sand or buff it...this is how my car is painted...single stage as well....best advice is to wash really well, then wax, wax and wax somemore...my car would come out really well after a good couple hours of detailing

Nope not cut, yes stock hood and gt4 bumper, obviously doesn't line up but doesn't look to bad..

Manny the paint is gorgeous, you will have some business when the hatchback goes red

Unfortunately somebody keyed the car before i got it on the driver side from the taillight to the driver door... through to the primer in most of it..

knew i had seen it in ebay too... nice present.

[CelicaGT04]

Congrats on the new ride.. IMO the gold rims go good with the black paint.. but then again you like what you like! The car looks awesome either way im sure.

Yea gold isn't bad but the rims have some curb damage and the tires need to be replaced, my rims are wider and only have about 2-4k miles on them... so its the logical choice.. but really i'm still not a big fan of gold.. haha to each his own i guess.. but the more i think about it and look at the car the gold doesn't look bad!

here is why i need to change them..

Well, good thing is that it's in the hands of another 6gcer. Take care of her, that's a really nice ride

WOOO! Way to go Santa!

94's the best year! first year of the 6GC and besides its before OBD2 and it is one of the few years they made the coupe. Also if i want to be somewhat legal with an engine swap all i need an engine same year or newer.. so it makes it easier if i have 94's instead of 98's or 99's etc.

Oh come on T-Bone, the neon looks killah sweet! nahht haha one of the first things i did was move the front piece further up under the bumper, it was hidden by the Euro lip that is now in need of repair. I haven't decided if i'll actually remove it or not, its amusing for a little while...?

[Culpable04]

Jesse sorry I didn't stay to meet with you and say hi as well, I didn't know you were coming ( or buying the car ) until that same day, so plans were already made.

this was a nice christmas present to yourself, and well deserved I should say.

[Tigawoods]

no wonder that SOB wasnt returning my pms and calls! i was going to grab some stuff off of it!

[lagos]

I cant believe he actually sold it after just getting it painted.

it was actually a trade since i have no && right now, if i had that much i would have put it into my hatch 3S

[presure2]

awesome jesse.
just one question.
why a coupe, and more importantly, why an ST? gas milage? or just a deal you couldnt refuse?

at any rate, good deal, glad to see you back and posting for awhile.

before you do ANYTHING to your swap car, make sure you get ahold of dustin and i, we've got some things up our sleeves your gonna wanna be a part of before you do anything to it.
