So I got to work today, was browsing Craig's List, and came across a '95 Celica with a salvage title for sale. I was out of work on my way home and then to Seattle within minutes. Three hours later, I was the owner of this:
Yeah, it's pretty beat up, and purple, and a slushbox, and the tranny makes lots of noise at idle, but I'm very happy with it. Drove it three hours home with no problems at all, despite being told it has a blown head gasket. The car has 114,000 miles and the engine and tranny both feel strong and smooth. Whaddaya guys think? I don't think it's too bad for $350.

From looking at those pics, I doubt you've got frame damage. It looks like it'd be pretty easy to straighten the body, either that or you'll have to replace the door skin. If ya need any tips let me know dude.
