Things I need to do Options

[senick]

Well, bought this 95 ST about two years ago when I was going through college, and didn't have any money to work on the things that could use some attention. Got this horse for $1,000 with 140k on the odo. Can't say I'm rollin now, but I'd like to at least fix up some stuff while I have a positive net income. Here's what I want to do:

Paint/Rust removal:



And maybe replace that bumper since it's f'ed up...but only if I can find one in good condition in a junkyard.



I'd like to paint the wheels as well, what color would look best?

Clean, detail the engine:




Dirty!

And last, but most certainly not least, fix THIS:



NOOOOOOOO, yeah it's an auto. The only thing is, I just don't know if I can do anything about it. My skills are limited, and finding the parts to do the swap has been less than pleasant. I don't know what it's like where you guys are from, but in northern Indiana, 6th gen Celica's don't exist, especially not in junkyards. If I could find the parts, I wonder how much I could expect to pay a shop to do the swap, assuming I could do the AT removal myself (which I'm confident about)?

The other fantastic thing is my e-brakes don't work....Haven't figured out why, but I might need them if I throw a 5-speed in there....

Well thanks for looking

pump is in the water tank located in the front of the pass side fender, remove the front bumper to access it. Or you could pull back the fender well plastic.
