So, after talkin it through with alot of my friends, parents, family, etc. I decided that Im gonna keep my celica. Im gonna still be taking it off the road for a few months. So i decided that while its off the road, and im working im gonna put some $ into the car to get it back up to par of where i want it. So i decided to do a list of things i need to get done with the car. My goal is to have it all done by august 1st. So...pretty much, i need to get all of this done in the next 5 months or so.

Tint windows, re-upholster/re-cover rear seats, fix seat back *amp pulled the backing of my rear seats off cuz of its weight*, move amp *obvious reasons*, get oem strut bar covers for rear, weld up e-brake bracket *part of it got ripped off and i gotta tig weld it back into place*, clean up/paint calipers, buy new/used rear controll arms, recondition controll arms, install control arms, get new window gaskets and install them, get new drivers side vent, re-paint interior plastics, get jdm tails, get jdm projectors, fix wobbel in shifter *gotta tighten down the bolts*, new sway bar end links for front, get new wheel bearings on all 4 corners, wrap up exhaust and intake piping in heat wrap, re-vamp intake, fix door rust and hatch rust, undercoat car, clean up rear strut bar, get new TRD plate frames, fix paint chips and blemishes, de-badge rear, new front strut bar *probably cusco*, install gauges, buy DCW single pod, paint and install 5th gen mirrors, get new sunroof, re-do headliner

So, the list starts tomorrow....first step stage 3 of my celica. wish me luck

so i brought most of my inteior back to stock now. Im just waiting on a few more peices. I still need a new radio surround, drivers side window switch, drivers side window switch surround, and the drivers side rear speaker grill. I managed to get every thing i needed to bring it back from a scrap yard for $25 but the car they had, we already took the radio surround off for my girlfriends car *hers was broken in 2 peices*, it was missing the drivers side door, and it was a convertable, so the rear speaker grills wont work on a hatchback since they are built into the 1/4 pannel cover. So its almost done. Im gonna go with an OEM shiftboot soon, probably either a JDM SS-III one, or a 98 MR2 one with the red stiching.




and my shops gettin pretty full and pretty messy too.



my crappy makeshift welding station...consisting of my rolling stool, some crappy chair in the garage, a peice of RCA cabel to hold the piping in place, and my buddies welder.


I should b finishin every thing up for the most part in the next few weeks.
