Well as everyone should know by now, on May 12/3 I sold my Celica and I purchased a 2002 ST246 N-Edition Caldina in Japan.
Anyway, the car got to the compliance workshop last Tuesday and is in the final phases of the import process. A few shots of the car at the docks in Japan:   At the moment the car is waiting for our Government to make the Compliance Plate (A bit of metal that indicates the car is legally imported). Which may take 1-3 weeks... While that waits I am getting a few things fixed up so she should be sweet for delivery and roadworthy!

It's all in good nature. I understand wanting the reliable daily part, for some reason a 36 year old muscle car fights you tooth and nail at times.
 Could've gotten a Matrix XRS or whatever they call it over there, slightly detuned 2ZZ-GE and 6-speed from the 7GC GT-S but in a wagon. Of course my solution would be to get an old hearse, but hey that's just me.

Only real Toyota wagons are Camry, Corolla and than people movers  Anyway, so many people are going to think my cars a Prius wagon lol. -------------------- ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |
