bad news about my Celica Options

[Phat_99CeliGT]

Well, i too have some bad news.
i went yesterday to check on the progress on my celica but they were closed. i thought that was odd, cause they r closed weekends, not mondays.
so, today i go in and there r 10 people there. a friend of mine stopped me at the door and told me that the shop had been broken into over the weekend. i didn't believe him cause he always messes with me.
i went to talk to Jim (owner/painter) about the ceilca. he told me that it would be a while till something gets done cause the shop was broken into over the weekend.
My heart dropped. i though for sure my car was screwed up. Jim told me they broke in thru a window downstairs in a room they don't use. they got all his paint guns, airbrush equipment, tools and a CD player out of the other sponcered car in the shop. He also had a bronco and an F-150 out back that r now sitting on blocks with the windows busted out.
I asked if i could go and make sure nothing was taken from my car. mine was HOPEFULLY not messed with cause it was stripped and ready to get repainted. i had already take out my indash to get it fixed, headlights and taillights were in the boot and since the car was 1" off the ground, it was kinda hard to get the rims off.

I got home and forgot to make sure my TRD CF wing and kit was still there. i tried calling, but no one was there when i called. tomorrow morning i have to take my probe to get exhaust work done, so afterword ill stop by the shop and check EVERYTHING out.

So, since there isn't any tools or paint guns, i can't get anything done to the car till insurance pays for it all. Jim even tried to buy paint guns with his money, but the ones he needs no one around here keep in stock. all have to be ordered.


This really make me upset. i came home and almost cried cause i have put thousands of dollars and lots of time into this car, and everything in this world is keeping me from getting it back.
IF i ever get it back, i might look into selling it and getting something that doesn't need a kit and a repaint to look good.

I don't know anymore.

Sorry for it being so long. im bored, depressed and hurting, so i just keepon typing.

Keep the car man...You'll really regret it later. How long have you been without it?

I just checked out your profile...I really really really like the color you chose. I also think that all of the body work you have on it in the older pictures make your car look really cool. I really hope you get it back soon.

You've done a good job with it, don't stop now.
