Hi there I have finally found the time to post a few pictures of my car (hopefully this works) This how the car looked when I finally got it home (please don't judge me because of the mags, they will go when I can get the cash together): The red paint was almost white. The inside was, well a bit of a tip:

This the Celica after four days of cleaning, polishing and scrubbing: It still has an ever growing list of things to be done but I'm pretty pleased with it so far

Looks to be pretty good nic. your right, the bling wheels need to go, they will weigh a tonne and will be affecting the performance of the car. Sell them off to some other sucker, to buy the wheels you want. Keep up the good work Kim are you coming on the Cruise next weekend.

Thanks guys I'm pretty proud of the progress so far.. Under the bonnet is next, hopefully it's all good news for there as well.. Got it started on Wednesday and ran very well considering it hadn't been started for 2yrs Im hoping to make it on Saturday unfortunately the car won't be ready by then.. But it would be great to meet you all and see your amazing celicas..

lol Kim, as long as it is a real turbo it is ok, none of this fake blow off valve shit to make it sound like turbo.
