Well you've got to start somewhere and this is my second time starting. Nonetheless, the celica's from my past are all part of the story that has led me to this one and finally being able to complete the project I have been dreaming of. They are also contributing a lot of parts and lessons learned to get this car how I want it. I bought this car in September 2010 and will be marking my progress routinely with many pictures.
Here is the baseline. The starting point. The blank Canvas. I'm giving you a full snapshot into its original condition from when I bought it. Flaws and all. This way the you can see the progress it makes as I fix the little details and add the JDM/TRD goodies. 94' Celica GT Hatchback -Stock 5SFE -Stock ABS Brakes -Stock Premium Sound -Stock Suspension -Stock Exterior -Stock Interior EXTERIOR:           INTERIOR:       UNDER THE HOOD:    Here is the progress thread for my first build a few years back.. Learned a lot on that project: http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showto...3997&st=280 (A good read if you are bored at work, lots of parts, pics, problems and even a fire) This post has been edited by jcbass7: Dec 6, 2012 - 10:29 AM |
