Jdogg's 98 camry

My dad, grandma and I went out to my uncle's house on the 4th and I got surprised with a 1998 Camry. They all pitched in to get it as a early graduation present. It is my first "car". It is a little rough but I like it.
It is green, auto, I4 and has 91xxxx miles.

I have fixed the rear bumper, washed and waxed it, power-balled the headlights, fixed the center console, and de-greased the engine bay.

It needs 2 new tires, smog, insurance and registration.

I'm going to get it smoged and build a sub box for a 10" I have and replace all the speakers and head unit sometime this week.

Future things for it are coilovers, broadway mirror, LEDs everywhere inside, and HIDs 4500k hi/lo on a 35watt relay.


Part of the bumper was pushed in

The hood is covered in rock chips.

After a bit of TLC and routine maintenance (if needed), you'll have a nice DD.

I forgot about the center console. It is all broken in the bottom. I will cut a peice of wood or plexi glass tommorrow to fix it though will take some pictures when I do it.

I have also been slowly painting the wheels black. I will keep the hubcaps on the wheels until I get rims. I noticed almost every single wheel stud were cross-threaded. So far I have only done the rears.

I need a new steering wheel. I might take one off a newer Camry. (depends on price)

I also ordered a fuel door spring from Napa because I currently don't have one.
