As some of you my know, I have been wanting a 5-speed for a long time.. since I got rid of my old 5-speed Mustang GT and got an automatic Celica GT. Well, yesterday I went to Iowa and picked up a 1994 Celica GT 5-speed. One that you may recognize as navseal345's Celica. (he was awesome and met me half way so I didn't have to go all the way to Nebraska.) ANYWAY, here is the beginning of this build, and the end of the old build. farewell Blue Celica, you were good to me and we had some good times.
when I first got the car: Already had MEGAN coilovers, and a flowmaster muffler        After all day today of swapping my stuff from the Blue Celica to the Silver one. swapped out the wheels for my plasti-dipped stock GT wheels  JDM-Tails  3-post steering wheel & Celica floor mats (not really seen in the pic)  Sony explode head unit and black shift knob  stock cargo bay cover  10 inch Kicker CVR subs and GT-4 rear strut brace  gotta have the fire extinguisher   had to swap over my sun visors.. just because  swapped over the INJEN intake and reran the sub power wire.   here's some more random pics of the car i took. (the fun will really start when my blue Celica is sold )

Not to be pedantic, but why didn't you spray it silver the first time 'round? DIY painting FTW though.

DIY painting FTW though. i wanted to prime where i put filler, and where i sanded scratches out where it went down to the aluminum. (originally had filler there but...) so by the time i was ready to throw the primer i saw that the hood was going to be mostly covered anyway. so i just did the whole thing. 2nd reason was i wasnt sure if i was going to be able to paint it the same day or have to wait till next friday. and i didnt want to be driving with, not only a multi-color car, but a multi-color hood  oh, this is the first time i have ever seen anyone use the word "pedantic" other than family guy
