My 6th Gen ST Options

[CoreyST]

Hey everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. I just recently bought myself a 95 Celica ST Coupe 5Speed. A ton of mules on her 336k to be exact. I'm in process of getting her title and service records (if I get get the latter). Ill post pictures in a few hours when the sun comes up. The previous owner took really good care of it. There were seat covers on the seats and plastic mats over the stock mats. And both are still in great condition. She runs smooth and better than my 07 Cobalt ever did. Smoother too! Well just wanted to say high.
Current Plans:
Clean her up
Routine maintenance
A few interior addons. (Mainly radio and shift knob and possibly short throw shifter)
Replace High Beam Headlight assemblies (both are cracked)
Fixed rusted wiper arms
Fix Trunk lock
Change out the stock speakers (16 yrs of music they don't sound so well anymore)
Future plans are:
GT-Four conversion (just the bumpers Hood sideskirts and wing)
Turbo the motor (possibly the hybrid setup with the earlier 4A-GZE motor)
Lightweight rims and summer tires (Will be putting winter tires on steelies)



Here are some pictures to tide you over until I can get better ones.

Here is the stock boot and knob. Boot was all ripped up and knob was a little loose.

and after a quick trip to the local auto parts store I bought a boot and used a knob I had sitting around. Temporary for now.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to build the Turbo 7A hybrid?

Just a small update. Still throwing around what do with the engine when it goes....really need to figure it out, but need the money to do anything really.

But, I've started fixing some dents on it, I think the fender is beyond fixing, (it had a really huge dent that I popped out a bit but more of the fender was warped than i thought) ohh and my dad scratched the fender trying to pull it into his garage. I'll get pics up soon. I'll most likely be buying a used fender off a member here or at celicatech, whichever has cheaper shipping really. But I gotta fix a bit of rust on the left rear wheel well. I sanded it down and prined it, but there were some holes, but since I'm going for a flush fitment later on I'm just gonna sand them back down, put some rust stopping stuff and roll them. And then gotta fix a dent in front of the wheel well....and that is all I can remember right now, OHH I took the damn spoiler off it was rusting out, so I put some fibergalss cloth and bondo in and filled the holes. (quick fix until I can do it right). This car will just probably end up turning all black primer as I fix small dents here and there. Still trying to decide on a coilover set up, and rims that will fit the color I go for ( I may stay black and go with either gunmetal, bronze, or gold rims, or second option is yellow with gunmetal rims)

But I need some money first, so anyone willing to donate to a broke joker fund let me know haha (j/k). also got a replacement headlight to fix the cracked on I got, just need to take it apart and clean it.
