Hey Guys. This is my first time posting here, so yeah. I am currently 16 years old (waiting the couple of months until I get my Ps), and drive a 97 Camry CSi that I got for free (but has had an incredibly hard life). I also have a school based traineeship with Tamworth City Toyota, so I know a little bit about Toyotas :).

So far I've installed new CV boots, new steering rack, all fluids changed to slightly thicker synthetics, all filters including a K and N air filter, new seat covers/dash mat/pedals/floor mats etc to hide interior damage, fixed a whole bunch of front end damage (including a partial respray - with spray cans...), and removed the air con (as I deemed it too expensive and hard to fix for various reasons).

Work that still needs to be done includes finishing the front bodywork, sorting out any electrical issues, getting the engine started and making sure it's still running fine, re-registering it (it ran out in September), fixing the central locking, fitting a new "sport muffler" (aka a 'canon' - cheaper than a OEM one), fixing the wheels (CSA mags with extreme gutter rash), fitting HIDs, driving lights, and a reversing light, a sub and a couple of new parcel shelf speakers (already have, just need to install), fixing the rest of the panel damage around the car, get the windows tinted (dark as legally possible), maybe upgrade a few things such as putting a spoiler on it, LEDs all round (including running lights), making my own auto-on headlights, making my own cold-air intake, etc... All on a very tight budget (I don't have much money at all, and I've already spent over $1500 on the darn thing..).

Anyway, sorry for the long post. I don't know what else you might want to know (if, indeed, anyone actually reads this..) but anyway.
