Woke up at 10 this morning to a phone call from a shipper saying "he booked my shipping" for 300$ from uship.com (GREAT website by the way, you register, post target price, people bid on your shipment, like if they are passing through the area with a big truck and have more space, they can make some extra bucks)

I HADNT EVEN PAID for the car yet so i frantically called the guy, who didnt answer his phone yesterday, so i was worried. well today he did, i asked if he had paypal, NO, could i pay with card, NO! damn, so i call the shipper and ask if i can pay him 800$ instead of 300$ and him give the money to the guy, he said yes, but he needs an extra 80$ for atm and paypal fees. 80$ at the last minute isnt so bad I guess, it was in the heat of the moment haha. So I transfer the money, pay on paypal, and the guys about to go pick up my shell which is:

Red 1994 celica GT hatchback. 5spd. blown motor. dont know ANY other details except it needs a new front bumper and possibly one headlight.

however, as long as its got an engine bay ready and willing for my 3sgte, im excited. the swap will start friday march 17th as soon as i get home from college.

the car will be delivered by 9ish tonight, CHUCKY! If your home then, you should go around and take pics

oh yeah a HUGE thank you for easternpiro for hooking me up with the shell and contacting people for me, i owe you one big man.

dude, thats similar to what happened to me. I found a celica for $3000 at a dealership, called them and they told me it was a GT manual hatchback in great condition. I drove 7 hours up there to look at it and buy it with cash, and it turned out to be an ST with fake GT badging, the interior was so damaged that it had furry seat covers and the whole interior had like white stuff all over it from like water or something. To make things worst, the motor was all rusted and it had the ugliest teal flat color i've ever seen. I was so pissed at her, but before I left, I checked out another celica in the area and it was exactly what I wanted and so I bought that for $4000......with luck on my side, I made it out of the deal with a better car than I originally intended to. 1997 GT with perfect interior and exterior . power everything, sunroof, cd player, and the car was babied since the owner was a car lover.
