Well and so it begins.. Took me a little over a month to find a Celica coupe. Took a chance on this one.
1995 Celica ST Coupe.1.8 184k 5speed Completely stock when i got it. Was owned by a college kid who just got done with school. Paint is a absolute mess with the roof being damn near metal. That is what Florida sun will do to a macco paint job i guess.. The goal for part 1 build is just to keep a very small budget. Get it looking decent with some minor body work and get the motor running very good for daily driving. Wanna enjoy the Celica front for as long as i can, as a Curren conversion is the end game. Things I've already done- Motor wise: Complete tune up, Spark+wires, Fuel Filter, Cap+rotor, Air Filter, PCV and all fuild changes. Didn't do anything aftermarket, really wanted to get it back to stock specs to see if anything else is wrong. So far so good on that end. Motor runs real smooth and no smoke or leaks. Outside: I have a legit Hiro front lip and OEM Side skirts. Hiro rear splitters are in the mail. Paint: DipYourCar.com ProkitPLUS in my garage with white paint + glossifier. Yup.. Might get alot of hate on plasti dip'n my car but this is a budget build. And with this much body work i would get raped on labor. When i get the money i'll just peel it off and get the work done right.. Or just change colors every week.. =D Should look really good with the glossifier with the white. Damn close to a real paint job. Searching for some Megan EZ Street Coilovers.. Thats the next thing.. After that.. Rare wheels but that's gonna take some time. I want nice wheels.. picky picky.. But after 1week with my purchase.. Here is how it looks.. Remember the hiro lips and sideskirts did not come with the car.. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ^^****KKK LOL ![]() Front lip and sideskirts mounted temp.... Intill body work!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Dirty engine bay.. Cleaning it after body work.. Just imagine how the rest of the car looked when i got it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hows this for a project??? hahaha.. built not bought!!
