NYp8tballer07's Progression - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #78207 150 posts Started by NYp8tBaller07
First I want to thank the 6G gods for providing this thread as it makes me feel special and also makes me feel good to show what ive done to my car haha =p

Well being that I am very excited to have my car finally I am very happy to be able to start a thread, although this build will be slow due to school bills and such but I am doing my best trying to get parts here and there when I can.

To start I got the car for $750USD; it needed an alternator and tune up so that took some money away from some things I wanted to get off the bat. So far I have mainly done visual modifications and performance in between =)

Things I plan to do:
-fix rust
-re paint
-new wheels 15" GT
-tint windows
-led gauges
-new muffler
-new head unit with speakers
-replace hoses. lines, and parts as needed
-lower (maybe)
-rebuild+turbo


More to come =)

Thanks cheela, It still needs a bit more cleaning imo but I like the first stage of it =p

yeah it's still winter. Give you engine bay a wash with some engine degreaser and it'll do wonders! biggrin.gif

Did some cleaning; took out all the seats and cleaned the carpet as well as the seats themselves. The previous owner had some hair issues XD

It's obvious that the previous owner hated cleaning!
Well done. I'm going to clean the interior of my celi too, as I have most of the interior parts dismantled now because of another project wink.gif
I'd recommend to impregnate the plastic parts of the interior. They will shine like new. I use cockpit spray from Turtle for this purpose.
Well this was they guys beater car, he has a Z28 project car, a 94 camero, and a lifted dodge pickup.

yea im not sure what i want to use to clean it, deff not armor all. whats best?

a hazmat suit might help

What I think when you think I care
Im going to the store to prob get tint and ill see what they have for cleaners

Power in Balance90 ST coupe- Sold95 ST hatch- Dead :’(02 Impreza RS- DD
I use Fresh shine - cockpit spray from Turtle. Like this: cockpit spray Not the strawberry one though wink.gif
just paint it all like i did tongue.gif

No but armorall will clean it up nice for a bit.
I cant tell from the pics, but if there are a bunch of scratches in the plastic parts of the interior, the best way to get rid of them is just to paint them. pretty easy, and you can even repaint black if you wanted.

So just ordered a spree kit so can't wait for that to come in. I'm thinking seat covers next, anyone have a set in mind that hugs our seats well?

that paint in the valve cover is great stuff, i have seen one technique on utube that u can spray water on ur piece whit a little sprayer, and let the little drip of water dry up completely , so its make real water drip in your paint
nice i havent seen that one but i just lightly sprayed the blue so it spatterd on.
