refurbishing car advice.?

refurbishing car advice.?
hey guys im not sure where to look anymore so ima just ask; i have a 2000 toyota celica gt (automatic) and this car was my highschool girlfriend so to say... this car has always been my dream car yes i know you probably think im retarded but this car was what got me to livin life so to speak. i left my home town San Juan, Puerto Rico at the age of 17 and joined the army. now about 3 years later i find myself going back home very soon and i finnaly want to accomplish the only thing that ive truley wanted to do since i saw the first commercials back when i was a snot nosed brat. i want to have a bad ass Celica. something that might actually give some of da haters back home something to truley hate.that said this is what im looking at as of today; this car has been sitting in the hot ass sun for years now so paint job is just stupidly nessasary and the engine got a little over the 100,000 mile death sentence for normal cars i got the little stuff down, my focus is on engine, trans, fuel, exaust systems, electrical... ect. Bassically i have no clue on where to start or what the hell im doing actually. i always find myself buying car mags for years now atually but im really just a poser cuz i really dont know what half of the discussions mean. all i know is that i love cars and i want to make mine something worth driving not that regretted piece of crap someone keeps hidden in the garage. i would also aprreciate some advice on how much id be looking at cost worthcuz honestly im not wealthy whatsoever and im saving up some money right now because i am currently deployed in afghanistan right now so this is my only real chance to realize this dream. i imajine there are a crap load of circumstances and details that ive left out and all i wrote was just some crazy sob story.but like i said i dont know where else to look and why not the professionals, mabey yall could at least point me toward someone that might help? keep up the excelent work. *ps: sorry about da spelling guys inglish isnt my first language.....

if you can find a repair manual online that would be a start. then start with getting it started and running, replace the old gas first then old oil and plugs etc. maybe wires if too old looking and before changing the plugs spray out the carb? when its running THEN the plugs! 2. tires and brake checked and replaced IF needed. tires probably are too old now, ck for tiny hairline web like cracks...replace cause not safe for driving. next the inside last is the body and paint. I'm going to be doing the same on mine too so good luck to you! hope it helped some. No problema mi Imigo soy rudy en los angeles! peace
