I bought another celica... (Lots of pics) Options

[ImportChick95]

I bought this celica a few days ago.. a '97 GT for $1800. I must be crazy because I seriously don't need another project car. (I have 3 cars) It's beat up and in serious need of some TLC. The previous owner is an idiot. However, the engine runs smooth and she starts right up. No leaks. I will be working to restore this car and hopefully she will be ready for new paint by next summer. Wish me luck.








I still haven't figured out what this is


No trunk carpet or spare wheel. Weight reduction maybe??




Missing bottom plastic piece... no AC either.









Rust.





Dent on roof.













Dog hair.. GROSS.





This is the color I plan to paint her next year. It's "oh so beau-ti-fullll".

Valo666- I was planning to spray the headliners, but reupholstering them sounds like a great idea. Free no?

how about $40 for material and labour?

I do a good job too. If i can take this

and make it look like this

i can do a really good job on yours.

that is not a 3sge, probably a 3sfe. No EGR says "old"

No EGR says JDM. I dont think 3SFE's were ever avaible in north america. When my first 5s head blew i went to this used japaneese autoshop and they had tons of 3SFE's. All of them came with no EGR because they dont use EGRs in Japan. Look at any JDM only motor, no EGRs on any of them.

Wow, that's really good work. I'll think about it.. I wanna see if I can clean them first.

goferris- My old celica is still available and only for sale for the right person and price .. I'm too attached to it so the price better be good and the person better have car care skills before approaching me. ..and yes, I will interview them, Lol.

The black box thing might be a TV plug??? hmm.. that's something I'll look into this weekend. I think it looks horrible and not professionally installed at all.
