Default dear god i made a mistake...

so i traded my 00' celica for a 00' camaro a couple days ago and i'm super regretting it now .. i fell inlove with the car without really seeing it .. i just knew what i could do with it and what it's capable of .. i'll get some pics up soon

00 ls1 6 speed if it wasn't a 6 speed i wouldn't even have thought about it but i love a standard tranny and the auto in the celi was boring....

No problem. Take the list and itemize it and get started.

except for the door fender and hood sounds like some fairly easy fixes but thats what happens when you buy with your heart and not your eyes. lol. at least you have something to keep you busy eh.

don't loose your dream you had when you where in love with the end result, before you got the car.
now you need to think of the day when it's finished to help you threw the list of things to get it there.
when you start to get some things done, you'll see how it fells!
but ... be realistic on your expectations, make a complet list of everything you want,
and try and start buy the deepest layer of repairs.
that way you won't have to remove / install or even damage the first things you did

I have a 2000 LS1 6speed as show in sig.... and i would NEVER EVER want a celi over my car, the maro could have milk crates for seats and wooden wagon wheels on it, thats just a project, but ewww celi's are slow as ***** and an ls1 is the king of the rd where im from compared to majority of factory cars, we come out on top

Dude thank goodness you got rid of that celica, MAJOR beeyotch car! Start gutting the inside, get ya a good quality sound system with subs, rip out that old junked exhaust and run ya a catback system, then just keep going fixing things bit by bit. Sounds like ya got a great project car fo shizzle!!! 6 speed manual ftw!!!

It is far superior to the celica, i know i have 2 celicas. I cant believe you regret trading since you said it was a 3rd car to play with. Beats a ricer anyday. I use my celica to drive to my construction job for gas mileage.
