Gregory Asuncion chose the 2001 Toyota Celica GT because he was a fan of the body style. He purchased the Celica 2 years ago as a daily driver and installed minor modifications. As time went on, it turned into something amazing! Currently, he's transformed the Celica into a show car and he'd like to show it to other car enthusiasts, including other Celica enthusiasts, who can appreciate his build.
