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

my next little project was suppost to be re-doing/dying my headliner black and adding a drain tube to my aftermarket sunroof. So i headed out to the local parts store, got me some vynal/fabric dye, and i got home and started to rip into my headliner. So i took every thing out, every thing off, and then tryed to pry my headliner down....couldnt figure out why it was stuck, So i started to peel the material back where i knew i could get a handel on it....then kept pulling..and pulling..and pulling...and i pretty much ended up with a peice of material with some foam on the back. I looked up and i see this.


yeaa....so i figure that when they went to put in my sunroof, they didnt know what to do with my original headliner and didnt know how to modify the headliner to make it fit...so they hacked up the original, duct taped the original to the sunroof and any other parts they could attach it to, and then sprayed some adhesive down, put the new foam up, and put every thing back in. Extreamly hacked. So now, its up to me to fix their screw ups. So my first task is im making some templates out of some spare card board to fill in all thouse gaps and hopefully be able to line them up with the original headliner so that i can make it 1 big seamless peice when i put the new material/foam up there. I got some work done on it tonight while i was screwin around with it.




so tomorrow im gonnna head over to the UPS store and get some thicker cardboard or im gonna head to the local home depot and buy some thin pressboard to make the new healiner. And then im also gonna go out and buy the new headliner material/foam. And then i also have to figure out how im gonna put a drain tube into the sunroof. Im thinkin im gonna drill a hole into the tray, weld in a peice of tubing and then put a peice of vynal tube and run it down and out under my fender.

Just when i think im gonna b finished eh??
