I Got It!!! :D, Progress Report Options

Edit: Just using the same thread I started to avoid clutter. Scroll down for new pics...more on the way as I work on it!

So I drove the car home today...had to adjust to the new clutch and the wide expanse of legroom, lol, but it is officially in my driveway and registered to my name

In other words...MINE!!!

Sadly, I brought the camera out to take pictures, and it wasn't charged. I put it to charge, and when it was ready to go it started to rain. Then all my friends and family demanded to see it so I've been driving around the island all afternoon showing it off. All I've managed are a few shoddy camera phone pics:



I promise there will be some beautiful hi-def pics in the next day or two

there are some problems that I want to get taken care of that you can't see in these pictures...like the front bumper is a little crooked and the paint has flaked on it, and the interior needs some serious work. Mainly I need to get new seats, or at least a new driver's seat because the one that's in there is a corolla seat forced into the rails, and so it doesn't pull up high enough for me to reach the pedals comfortably. Anyone know where I can get a good Celica seat online? It's hard to find stuff here...

...I aleady have an amp and two 12-inch speakers to put in, and it came with a 6-CD changer, though I'm debating to keep or sell that....I'll see. Gotta fix the fritsy alarm before I do anything...

more to come...

So...I dissappeared for quite some time here due to school, work, and other things. I made a few changes and fixed a few things on the Celi since then, and figured I'd post to keep track of my progress.

I got the chassis pulled (effin $400!!!) so that the front bumper is more aligned (though I still need to buy a new one since the old one split). I also got some clear turn signals and side markers off of Ebay, convinced my bro to let me buy his driver's seat off of him which will get reupholstered in leather, bought some new Motegi FF7 16" rims because the Momo's were so old and corroded they were letting air out of the tires, and have rewritten my list of things to do to the car, lol.

I need to rebuild the alternator, it's gonna go any day now. I need that new bumper, I want to red out the tails or get JDM's (still can't decide which will look better), and I want to repaint...or get some black vinyl patterns to work the black rims (or repaint and paint a black design on! XD). The interior still desperately needs work; I still need a new steering wheel (I'm totally turned on by the 3-spoke one I've seen around...).

Anyways, enough jibber-jabber and here's some pics!

Before the Motegi's got put on...




Oh the darkness...
