So I finally got the opportunity to buy my first Celica. It needs some work, but it's not bad for what I paid. It's Limited Edition Vert, but I wish I had a hatch (they just look so much better IMO). I live in Florida so it doesn't bother me too much
 . 174k miles, but still running great.Work it needs: New top Repair the body damage in the back New motor mounts Top frame welded back together I guess that's it accually. So without further ado, here she is.         Not too bad for $1600 right?

1600 is a steal! You have a nice looking vert there.
 are you going to put a tan top back on it, or go with a black top? EDIT: next step is to get a short shifter... the height on the stock shifter is outrageous!

Thanks. I had an option to either keep my Dodge Dakota or buy this car. The decision wasn't hard. The idea was to make some money off the turn around sale, and get a hatch. It's a shame because there is a hatch that needs some work for only 600. Not bad. Too bad I don't have room...

thats a nice find, why the hatch tho? dont get me wrong, i think the hatches look best too, but it would be nice to have the top down once in awhile. you could make that hatch look really nice, theres not too many around, and if what HypnoToad said is right, that makes it even more valuable.

You're right, I just feel like a girl with the top down
. Plus there's a few things you don't have to worry about when you don't have a top. Such as top motors, top leakage, rear windows, and top frame. Maybe that's just because I have a problem with every single one of those. And yesterday when I was putting the top up, the window got caught on the back set frame thing, and ripped the window completely out. So now I have to rely on an ugly blue tarp to keep rain out. I guess it's really time for a new top. 500 bucks down the drain.

Thanks for the responses.
nj - Yes, I found that, and that was the problem, so now my top goes down on its own . Well, kinda, because I need to fix the frame. I'll take pictures to show you what I mean.
