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.

Small update

-Took what was left of my headliner down lol..
-Figured out why my dome light wasn't working and also why my sunroof only kind of works.
(burnt wires) Guess the motor got really hot or something and burnt them. I think the one in the junkyard had this
little sunroof/dome light panel.
-Cleaned interior some more, pulled apart the whole dash and cleaned. Couldn't get middle console out. Must be something I'm missing so I just didn't mess with it right now. The plan was to disassemble the shifter and clean but couldn't get that console out.
-Repainted some interior pieces that were stained/faded etc. Then realized after I painted them that it was the wrong color.
Either mine's sunfaded or its just a dark charcoal color instead of black. I went with duplicolor. Looks great otherwise lol..
I need to get more anyway to do engine bay plastics. Interior's looking sharp now!
-Sanded and painted battery tray. It was solid except rust colored. Figured it'd be worth it to protect it with paint until I can get the whole car painted.

So some mini progress but I backtracked a little bit ha. Oh well, there's always snags.

Few random pics

Burn mark on sunroof panel wires


The button for my lightbulb was broken so couldn't use my dome light.


Goodbye old friend


Prepped and ready to paint. Too bad I picked the wrong color. I'll upload after shot when I repaint.
