Hello friendly 6GC Community and other guest of this site!

Bit of background info =)

I've recently got my license (so im young) and as my first car I got a Celica SX

The car was bought new from the dealer and has been in our family for the whole time. At least I can say that I trust the previous owners of the car Thecar has been serviced regularly and has hit 330,000kms or so... (quite a few in my opinion). The car drives fine and has no problems what so ever. Only some faded paint and a few scratches and dents here and there. I have done (IMO) quite a bit of work on it. And i will post it all in this one go, and continue along.

My car when I first got it


So yeah it needs A LOT of work to it in my opinion...

Of course im not going for those radical and overdone bodykits, like your Vielside kits and all that jizz jazz. I reckon those look over the top and sorta make you say, "0.0 GAY."

So me being simple as possible decided to remove the rear spoiler and to me it just adds more aggression to the car.



Bit of DIY HOME work and the spoiler was off and the holes were bog filled. I didnt paint the car until about 3 months down the road.

After a few months of driving this fun car I made a decision to respray it.

Now i know I'm going to get hated on and everyone will say "What the hell did you do this for" and blah blah blah.

I resprayed it in the original colour. Greeny torquise. I like that colour. But i resprayed it outside... in the open.

Hate me all you want.

Yes it was a stupid mistake and i will never do it again. I did have a bit of dust and all in the clear coat. But its not perfect. But compared to the old faded paint i really happy. It cost me only $350!

Don't you ever hop in your car and say. I need to do something. Lets spice it up. And then you go do it and everything goes soo well until a big little complication throws everything off?

LIKE THIS??!?!?!


Yes. I decided to change my steering wheel. I thought a steering comes off by removing the centre nut, and off you go. Well my car had for some reason a grub screw underneath the steering column holding it in. And being me, I grinded off the wheel and realised what a mess i have caused.

But all was good and a new steering wheel was put on.



I also followed the yellowness of the new wheel and painted my dash to follow...


Looks ok IMO?

I shall be rolling like this for a while!

Thanks for reading and I shall continue on updating!

I was with you up until yellow interior.

HAHA! I was planning to paint the car black, so yellow would of stood out really nice... But then i realised how difficult it would to do a proper respray

I was with you up until yellow interior.

give him a break. he's young.

but hey there, welcome. looks like you're off to a good start.
what else you got planned for it. The forum here is a great community and the perfect place to look and research what you want to do to your celica.

Im planning to put on some splitters But im not sure what to go for.. I was thinking TRD style splitters?

Also going to have a duckbill and hopefully some MOAR POWA with a 3sgte conversion. The 1mz doesnt sound to bad either But i just love the sound of turbos..

looks like you are off to a good start!
Great job with the hole patching

THANKS!

not a huge fan of yellow, but looks good, and the paint job on the tailgate looks awesome!, if I were you id get rid of the antenna at the same time.
I want to do a custom duckbill, delete the antenna, LED taillight and do a custom diffuser on the rear bumper as far as the rear of the car hopefully I inspired you and because of your cars color carbon fiber accents wouldn't look bad at all

YES! I really want to rid of the antenna! AHAH LOOKS like a RC toy car!

I like the Mightycarmods sticker

They live like 5mins from my house haha

The paint job looks really good! Who cars if it's not perfect... Nothing you ever do will be 100% perfect, and no matter how you try 'little' complications will stall you for hours haha

Good Job so far

MCM! Im really jealous of you right now.. Im 500000000 km away on the other side of STRAYA



Some good news! Soooo since the car is going to be kept this colour, I went and changed my car a bit.. pics and all that maybe later on tomorrow

ITS BEEN GIVEN A MAKE OVER!

ALSO A SECRET SURPRISE!

THANKYOU FOR ALL YOU GUYS NEGATIVE/POSITIVE FEEDBCK!
