Lets start with basic history lesson, its kind of hard to track back all the changes, because in reality it will become dull and boring...

And the goal is not to bore anyone....

this is the ad in craiglist...






I was actually in the market for a toyota tacoma, and came across the celica, my wife would not let me get one. I needed to be practical. Long story short, i show her the vert, and she loved it.

We drove 500 miles to chattanooga tn to get it from a lawyer.


couple of shots... I was very exited when I first got it. Never had a convertible before....











The bad!, the antenna was not working, top did not work and the defroster baked...

once in my possession, i googled how to fix the retractable top and bounced over here... on 6GC.net. Figures...


Went trough a lot of pain, when the clutch went out. mad.gif Not mechanically inclined, changed it myself in over a week!!




wood power!




That done, the only thing i knew how to do good was interior stuff and crap.

My interior Progression over the times.

My rear window crapped out mad.gif


Fixing the rear convertible window.

then a couple of crazy things, not necessarily in that order but...


Bye bye tan colors..

MR2 Seats on my car...

Changed to grille speaker cover

Homelink installation.

Installed A newer radio

I had also decided to lower my car with Eibach, pain in the as ride, but handles great!! wink.gif



not liking the negativity...

Oh then I scored these Caldina rims on ebay!!!









Lowered on Eibach.

Camber Kit Installation


I started hoarding crap like crazy!!! I dont know why? Thats when i got the TRD Front bumper and a toms lip kindasad.gif


Exterior Changes like crazy


I moved to Jackson TN






and Guess What!! biggrin.gif



I did my first swap..



My beams Swap!


Then i overtook the task to fit the oem sideskirts...



The pain of OEM side Skirts on a Vert


then projectors, gt4 hood, and blah blah blah... lol



Then i decided to put new brakes in it...

My MR2 Brake setup


A hobby that never dies...

Junkyard diving.

And it continues on from here. Cannot and will not write 5 books about this, but needed a point to start for the future...

nevermind these links
