looks like i joind the celica/MR2 crowd...just picked this up today:
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pictures give it too much justice...it needs a lot of body work...which is my first priority..then fix some small issues it has(no power steering/AC/oil light is on/ABS light is on from a previous accident) Its a work in progress to say the least, but im glad i got it. I think i got a pretty good deal for it for what i paid. What sold me on it was that it has a BRAND NEW OEM short block with a re-done head, all with new oem parts with less then 11k on them. I went into the car thinking that the head had a valve tap, and after further investigation, it might only be something as small as an exhaust leak. Which is a huge relief. Those are pictures from when Dan owned it, im waiting for my camera battery to come in the mail, then i snap a few more. Looks like i'll be turning this thread into my build thread as well. -------------------- ![]() I"M NOT A TOYOTA FAN, IM A FANATIC 1984 accord hatch 5 speed (T-Belt)-Junkyard 1991 VDUB jetta wolfsburg Ed. 5 speed (clutch)-junkyard 1988 Dodge Aries K (sold) 1969 Chevy El camino - Traded for celica 1991 Dodge Daytona-Traded for Celica 1988 Chevy Camaro-Work in Progress 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - For Sale 1995 Toyota Celica-Work in Progress |

thanks guys!
yea the color is nice, but the driver side is pretty beat up...im hoping to take it to the body shop and let them have there way with it. same color. Its funny its almost the same exact color as the celica. just picked up a might-vac had bleeding kit. gonna try that on the clutch and pump some fresh fluid through it. The motor mounts are loose so im gonna order a set of kirk polly inserts and tighten everything up real good. I also think that the bolts from the bell housing to the block arent as tight as they should be so im gonna look that over, if everything checks out, and it doesnt fix the problem im having with the clutch, im just gonna drop the trans and go over everything, and order a new disc from ATS. -------------------- ![]() I"M NOT A TOYOTA FAN, IM A FANATIC 1984 accord hatch 5 speed (T-Belt)-Junkyard 1991 VDUB jetta wolfsburg Ed. 5 speed (clutch)-junkyard 1988 Dodge Aries K (sold) 1969 Chevy El camino - Traded for celica 1991 Dodge Daytona-Traded for Celica 1988 Chevy Camaro-Work in Progress 1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 - For Sale 1995 Toyota Celica-Work in Progress |
