94 celica st manual "restoration" Options

[fhalperformance]

Right after I picked up a 93 alltrac rolling chassis I finally located a 94 celica after 5 months of looking. The price was right and its a pre-OBD2 that was pretty clean minus the bodywork. Only bad part was a lien from a bank that was no longer in existence but that ended up being not that big a deal with a lein release arriving in the mail a week and a half later. Already manual and is a blast to drive more so then my camry. I was planning on parking it for the summer given my new alltrac project and finishing up the rest of the work on my circuit race mr2. Needless to say thats not the plan anymore. It is the project that needs the least amount of work (or so I thought) figured I could finish this one along side the mr2 before starting the trac.

I have done a little bit of work so far on the car. Fixed the drivers side rocker panel so its 100 percent. I still have some passenger quarter panel work to do and selection of a color to paint the car. I am replacing or working on every panel on the car so I may do a color change. Almost all of my cars are a different color so Im thinking Ill stay teal like a scion hypnotic teal mica or darker teal then whats on there. I have access to a spray booth and all my own equipment so its not that much more of an investment to change the color. I will probably wait to put parts on the car until they have been painted already to keep things professional.

Got some gas and brake lines left that are pretty rotten/hacked together. Gas tank has a wet spot right in the middle and havent had a chance to locate a gas tank in better condition within driving distance. Still need to find some more parts with rear gt disc brake conversion parts the only thing coming to mind right now.

Parts I have acquired so far to make the car 100 percent:

Used Pair of stock tailights
Used Hood (black)
Used Facelift bumper (red)
new passenger front fender
Used passenger low beam (mint)
Used passenger high beam (mint)
Used drivers side door (black)
Used passenger side door (red)
Used gas door (red)
Used passenger side headlight lower bracket
Used rear hatch (black)
Used set of ST205 taillights from japan (mint) / debating on keeping these & the direction of the car
Used set of front seats (celica lettering & no tares)


you can see the rot on the drivers door, and thats the nicest bottom corner on the door lol
