New owner! Options

First things first moved here to tenny from colorado and the third day i was here my 1995 acura integra gsr was stolen so i ended up looking for another car with money i saved for living mind you so i was crunched for money and time.

My family has always been toyota lovers so looked for supras didnt work out well (nothing worth the money)

Found a 1995 toyota celica st for about 2000 posted (long story short talked him down to 1200)

List of problems

1. Speedometer (MPH) doesnt work (Can't figure this out)
2. Rust spot on back bumper behind rear driver wheel (wallet sized)
3. Fender jacked due to accident (Guy didnt really care for this car)
4. Front bumper same issue (See above)
5. CV boots need to be replaced (Next check getting this fixed buying new axles)
6. Head gasket needs to be replaced (Simple fix again next check)
7. Downshifting from 5th down to 4th hard to do (Trying to figure this out)
8. Tear in drivers seat (Me whining)
9. Some bad paint some places (Whining again)
10. Needs new cam seal (Annoying)
11. Needs new crankshaft seal (Annoying)
12. Sidemarker lenses broke (Cant find replacements)
13. Rubber around headlights very loose (Doesnt even make sense seeing how its tightly fitted in that area)
14. Engine light comes on when on highway (Thinking its the EGR)

Plans

1. 200-225HP
2. Turbo based (Havent decided on keeping the 7A-FE and "turboing" it OR 5S-GE swap and adding a turbo)
3. Stripped interior (front seats and basic dash)
4. Full body kit (JDM or Pre-made kit)
5. Lower it
6. Full stereo system

But man do i love this car even with all this gets great gas mileage as well as fun to drive...coming from a 337hp GSR [EX]owner!
