Well, for one thing, I was still playing with large sticks at teh age of 14, so your miles ahead of the game...
read lots, talk lots, and you'll have more ideas than you can imagine...
keep up the good work, yours mates must be jealous.. as for ideas, seen as though its your first project, I'd try to get the engine running / very cheaply reconditioned in the back yard... try finding a Haynes Project / Maintanence Manual ... Just have fun tinkering... not everything is going to cost money, try cleaning everything you can reach, that should take up a few weeks, and get it running... as for the interior and so fourth dont be afraid of it's battle scars...
battle scars earn respect... you just have to find the right friends...
Tinker on !!

Shit guys u are quik, thanx for the response
hey boudan, i already have the engine running mint, rebuilt it 6 months ago lol
it runs beautiful
im so happy with it it doesnt miss a beat, but the weather at the moment is far too cold to spray the makeover, so what can ya do aye?
just keep the baby rugged up till the storm passes
hehe, so where abouts are all these meetings for hte celicas made? when mines finished i wanna get involved, doesnt seem like there is n e one with the same celica as me that turns up tho?
i luv my celica, it may be one of the ugliest ever made, but nowdays because everyone scrapped them and wrecked them...they are becomming rare, and im proud of that 
My budget on my car is pretty low, i not worried about power for the moment seeing that i have to get my licence first, but after all the work thats gone into my celica because i did it all myself...i dont think im eva gonna wanna sell it
anyways guys
drive on
Ohhh and look on my website
cheers

nice work dude! i wish I was working on cars when I was 14!
Anyway, I happen to have the same wheels as your dad's RX-7, except I got my center bits stolen, well, one of them, the other fell off somewhere here in Sydney.
This is a big time shot in the dark, but you wouldn't have any idea of where to get replacement middle bits (the caps over the wheel nuts) would you
I signed your guestbook

Hey Sean, hows it goin havent spoken to you in a while
shit man? how the hell did u get an RA40 to be worth 20,000 smackers
how much have you spend on the fair lady????
bugga aye i have seen it b4 but i neva thought it was working up to that price
shit me
well, basicly...this is waht i need opinions on :D:
the whole car is going to be the same colour as the engine bay, Ford 2003 Venom Red.
Now, does n e one think the torana slr5000 flared guards *riveted style* would look good on my celica? i have seen them on a blue one and they look FAT AS
haha
ummm and also, whats your opinion on the interior?
im goin for black with Red trim and under the bonnet im going to spray the aircleaner Red, and that will do untill i get my new engine etc
but yeh..i have a long time to go and i wanna make this car as good as it can be, coz there arnet many of them in good condition left...
they may not be the sexiest celica but i luv em n e wayz
cya!

Actually all this talk about the LT2000, I remember I drove one down in Latrobe, Tassie aboiut 5 years ago. It was a hatchback though, but it had the square lights if I remember.
it was friends of mine, and I nearly stacked it over a little bridge 'cause i wasn't expecting all this gravel right at the bridge!
I thought it was the best car ever then and I so wanted one....
...well now I have a Celica all of my own stick at it dude!
