congrats n glad to hear your excited about gettin the car!! seems like you have some big plans, but they are plenty do-able. before you go throwin alot of money into this car though... id make sure that you dont spend a whole lot on parts that you cant swap from one car to the next (engine stuff, body work) incase you decide you dont like the celica as much as you would like another car. the lack of power gets old fast with this car, and besides its a relatively old car, but hey if its your first car... its deff something to keep ahold of till you get all old!!! dont sell your first car if you dont have to
