Just wanted to post some pictures cause I'm finally pretty happy with the car...


2-1/2 years ago this was my new car...

97 Celica ST Auto 126,310 miles
pinstripe, dull paint
hole in the headlight
4 completely different tires
non-working cassette/radio, alarm system, corner light

^ a little dirty

a few years and a couple modifications later and it's like having a whole new car...

97 ST 165,000+ miles
95 Manual tranny 85,000+ miles
wet sanded/compounded
pinstripe removed
all new headlights
Enkei RS5 wheels with 4 matching tires
Tein S-Tech's & KYB's
Alpine head unit, alarm w/ lcd remote
etc...

of course I've still got my complaints and there are a few more things I'd like taken care of...
[i.e. drums to discs in the rear, new seats, refinish/repaint some things, contemplating a sunroof, etc]
but overall I'm finally happy with where it is now biggrin.gif

Looks good! Its nice to see someone take something that they didnt buy in perfect condition and put it to where it should be. Cant wait to see what else you do!
