So after selling my 98 GT-S sometime in July...I decided to seek out my dream car! Here's a little story of my adventure to see a GT-Four, up front and in person, for the very first time...

Dragged two buddies along for the journey. We planned for the 12:30pm sailing at the horseshoe bay terminal in BC, to get to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Turns out the sailing was full and we waited 3 hours for the next sailing. After 1.5 hrs on the ferry we hauled a** 150km north of Nanaimo to Campbell River (keep in mind the last sailing home is 9pm). Finally arriving at the place we took a look at the car, took it for a spin and worked out the payment details.
The pro: engine is still running strong even with meerly 103,000kms
The cons: various surface rust here and there
The solution: leave the car there, get all the surface rust sanded out and get a full paintjob (at my cost)... then ship it to me

Now, I'm just waiting for it to arrive!....time for some teaser pics!

Well, RHD drive is the biggest problem and indicator...there are thousands of 6GC'ers running around with GT-4 hoods and bumpers, and the brakes could've been swapped as well (just look at Culpable.) The authorities would be ignorant of Celicas anyway, and how many other cars do you see running around with body kits anyway?

But yeah, once that cop pulls you over and finds out he's looking into the passenger side...most likely problems.

UNLESS, you do a LHD conversion like malpaso...or just put a surrogate wheel on the passenger side.
