Want to know what you 1st genners think.......
Finally got around to up-loading some pics........
Here are a few of the interior.........
A couple of the engine bay.......It's pretty dirty right now........
And the rest are of the exterior..............
So what d'ya think?
I plan on putting a 2000 Celica spoiler on the Deck-lid, and useing 2 Mustang (2000) Quarter Panel Scoops (a Right and Left) and mold them into the hood, at an angle, for a hood scoop.
Don't you guys try and steal my ideas Damnit

Wow.....very nice!
I love how the seats match your interior. Rims and tailights kick *** as well.
All you have to do is paint the bumper and you're set.
Make sure you keep us updated on the scoop and spoiler!

I have an SE, so no Cruise Control. Yeah the horn is in the middle. When i put the steering wheel on there was supposed to be a like foil sticker that you stick on the inside of the center cap, so when you push on it the horn is grounded, or something like that, but i lost the sticker so the horn doesn't work anyway. I doesn't bother me 'cus when i first got the car the horn didn't work so...........

About the steering wheel, the original one was messed up when i got it. There was electrical tape wrapped around it, and the center cover was bent off almost. So i just went to Autozone and got a Foster Grant wheel. Only cost me like 60 bucks w/ hub kit. I plan on getting a better one but it was all i could afford at the time. I like those momo one's; the only problem is blue, red, and yellow wouldn't go with the interior. I plan on either getting a Momo, or a Sparco one, when my wallet permits it.
I also need to get a new shift boot, it has tears in two of the corners. That's what i get for going with a $20 shift boot. Not only that i dont like the Velcro and the tie band on it. Hopefully i can get an MX-3 rear bench (looks like i'm gonna have to travel 260 miles to get one) and re-upholster the back seats to mtch the front.
What i did for the tail lights was, put masking tape across them from the top to bottom almost. Then traced the patern that i wanted on top of the masking tape. Cut the patern with a razor blade.Took off the excess tape around the Circles, and inside the M, and left the Circles and Flying M logos on the taillight in the form of masking tape. 4-5 base coats, (so the light doesn't shine through where it's not supposed to) and 2 clear coats later they were back on the car. The hardest part was makeing sure both tail-lights looked as close as possible. I have cuts on part of my right taillight because i cut the Flyimg M logo out in the wrong spot so i had to re-do it.
About the spoiler and scoop, i'll let you know every step of the way. I'm just kinda waiting on the scoop. I wanna avoid hacking up my hood for as long as possible. The scoops are going to be functional.
What do you guys mean by the canadian tire look???

Thanks guys, i wasn't too sure what you guys would think. Might call me rice or something, but it doesn't matter to me anyway.
I know you were talking about the steering wheel, but i don't get what you mean by "canadian tire," what is that?
Allright i'll get some pic's posted of the tails. I had posted some a long time ago, when i first joined here. No one liked 'em so i haven't brought it up again. Wait till tonight so i can get some pics.
