My 95 Celica GT Options

[Hamburgler]

Hey guys

New to the forum and just picked up a 95 GT a couple weeks ago. Been having a lot of fun driving it thus far.
It's pretty much all stock. Has a few quirks that need fixing but runs pretty good. It's a 5 speed, topaz metallic paint, and has a little body work needing addressed but I picked it up pretty cheap ($950)

I've always had a thing for black/silver celicas so new paint is definitely on the list.
Other than that, I just want to restore it back to it's glory. Also, some new wheels are in order in future.

Here are pics I took today. Haven't done much to it thus far. Just did a tune up, cap, bosch wires, ngk plugs, filters, lucas oil treatment, castrol oil, and few odds and ends.

Here she is





Previous owner had her friend put a kill switch in because her battery was being drained by something :lol: That's gotta go.





Crusty spots Eh, I've seen worse.



Also was wondering what originally went down here. Fog lights?


Very roughly photoshopped what my vision was. Nothing wild lol. Was supposed to be more black but my PS skills aren't the best.

Nice pickup! Get the rust taken care of and it'll last forever. The coupe and lift back headliners are not interchangable.

Hmm.. I'm guessing it's the same until you get towards the back. Wonder if I can't just trim the back to fit. I knew it wasn't gonna work lol.. That'd be too easy.

And thanks for the welcome guys! Mileage is kinda high but I can't complain for the price. 197,xxx
I'm with you guys on the color. It's not a bad color on other vehicles but I think it's crap for celicas.

On the agenda next is to do some more detailing in both interior and engine bay; Repainting faded plastics, etc.
Anyone know which vinyl paint is a close match to the black interior? Duplicolor, SEM?

Oh and @ Ted95, I'll take a further look underneath but from what I can tell it's all solid underneath.
The back was probably a result of a fender bender and the top cancer I assume was from her parking under an orange tree.
Apparently the acidity took a toll on this baby over the years lol..
