It should be. I don't see why it wouldn't haha.

Also, please show what you guys have for seats. The ones at the junk yard weren't terrible, but they weren't good either. There was also no back seat to match the fronts... so that kind of nullified that idea.

My boyfriend encouraged me to buy a Celica, so I got one. We picked this one up for $1,200 with need of a little TLC. At this point, we're just going to be fixing some things up and painting the car. Not sure of a color yet, but most likely black. The car came fully loaded with every factory, American, option. It's got the premium sound system (8 speaker), CD and cassette, security system, ABS, and leather seats (kinda).

We picked it up from the young couple in October 2013.

Passenger side is clean. There is one dent in the door and a small spot of rust in the rear fender.


Driver side needs a new front fender and has some paint fading and clear coat issues up top.


Door cards


Seats are totaled. We're looking for some replacements, but we have covers for now.


Back seats are still okay. (no one sits in the back lol)


Decently low miles, leather wrapped steering wheel like Ted's GT.


Premium stereo (Ted geeked over this) and missing a heater knob, which we now have. (Oh and yeah, it's an Automatic frown.gif )


Decently clean engine bay. Needs valve cover gasket, cam and crankshaft seals, probably a timing belt and maybe a radiator at some point, but otherwise, not too shabby.


Federal emissions! This is rare to find in NY since we're Cali emissions. Much easier to delete the cat with only one O2 sensor tongue.gif


Car is originally from MN! This is probably why it had less rust that Ted's. There was also a complete service record in the car!


Here's what we've done so far:

Stared at each other.


Changed out the rear struts (top mounts were completely blown)




Changed the rear brakes and fixed the parking brake.




There is still much to do. We'll keep updating as we fix it up. Goal is to have it decent before the next CSP meet tongue.gif
