This is my first post on here. I just came across a 99 GT Convertible for a few hundred dollars and jumped at the chance. At the least it would provide several upgrades for my ST. The interior and the exterior are in pretty good condition(the pictures dont do it justice) the odometer is at 122440. But the engine is seized up, long story short their son took it walmart and they only finger tightened the oil drain plug. It vibrated out and he ran it with out oil till it seized up. Do you think it would be worth it to try and unseize it? Or should I just use it to upgrade my 95 ST and part out what i dont use?

I'd agree, even if you can get that motor unseized it no-doubt has major wear damage to the metal cylinders and bearings and ...well pretty much everything else.
a Beams would be nice, but better still is pick up a decent stock motor for it for cheap because lots of people like to take it out and swap in the performance motor, and its also the same from a Camry 2.2L. looks pretty nice and not a lot of miles, I sure wouldn't rape this one to build an ST. just so many more nice little things about the GT. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
