So, this mornin at like..10am, im tryin 2 sleep in, i hear the phone ring. So someone picks up, and then i hear my sis come 2 my room. She opens the door and throws the phone at me and says "Here, its Sarah(girlfriend)". So i pick it up and she automaticly starts talkin..b4 i could say hello. so all i hear is "OMG!, my uncle said one of his friends has a 1983 toyota Coupe forsale, its only got like 100xxxkm on it, 5 speed, all original, in good condition, and shez sellin it for $100, but since its my uncles best friend, she said she will give it to me for free!! OMG!!!, do you know what a toyota coupe is??"...so i finaly get to say hi, so i think about what came in a coupe back then. so i said "Well, it could be a celica, a celicasupra, corrolla, trecel, starlet, camry..could be alot of things" So she gets frusterated cuz she wanted 2 know what it was. So i remembered that back in the summer when we went to take her uncle's vette out of storage, the woman who kept it for him had an old celica in her driveway, so i said "could it maybe be the woman who was takin care of ur uncles vette's celica?? cuz remember she had one in her drive way?" so she goes and asks her dad and was like "YES!!! THATS IT!!!" So now, i have my celica, my gf is gonna have her celica, and my lil cousin is about to buy a 4th gen. So this celica my gf is gonna buy needs some work, but nothing 2 majour. a lil bit of body work, a splash of paint, maybe some new rubber, cleanin a few peices up, gonna give her the exhaust system i had on my old supra and maybe borrow it a few times 2 go drifting again

im goin on tuesday to pick it up with her. Right now its 2tone gray with gray and black interior. We are thinkin what we r gonna do after we get her fixed up mechanicly, take off the door gaurds/bump strips on the side, plug the holes where they mounted, fill in the groove, shave it down nice n smooth. then we r plannin on paintin it metalic purple (girl friends idea, it was that or neon green), get some lowering springs, throw my old supra exhaust on it, get some white rims and be done with it. Good thing about all of this, my buddy is graduating college in a month or 2 as a apprentise painter, so he offered to help do the body work and paint the car for free, the wheels and springs i can get for cheap, my old exhaust is sittin around in my garage duin nothin, so it would b a matter of takin it over 2 my friends house, puttin the car up on some jack stands, takin the old exhaust off, and weldin the new one in. Also, im thinkin of contacting my buddy Phil who runs a business of all supra's and see if he wants 2 sell of some of his MKII supra body parts, and give the celica a supra front end.
my girl friends all excited about it, she wouldnt shut up about it all day long. I see it as a good project and a car to borow occasionaly. She sees it as somethin 2 get her 2 n from work in style..lol EDIT: We fully decided what colour its gonna be and what colour rims we are gonna do. For the body colour ![]() Metalic purple like that and wheels we are gonna go with a set of white 16" Motegi MR-7s ![]() like thouse all on a car that looks like this ![]() some one feel like duin a quick Photoshopping??
