I bid 1.6k ON THE CONDITION THAT #1 the fuel cell/axle dilemma is solved so that when I go down there I can TEST DRIVE IT, #2 it passes smog not somewhere that you know "a guy" but passes smog, #3 new fluids on EVERYTHING, new fuel pump and water pump.

I know I'm getting myself into a headache if I were to buy this car... new belts all around, new gaskets all round, rust accumulation, brake lines possibly, new hosing throughout the car, who knows how a turbo or IC is affected with not being driven for so long, it still needs a fuel cell, the fact that I would need to drive this car 500 miles reliably after not being driven for who knows how long... the possibility that some college kid decided to be stupid with it and potentially ruined the engine gah! So many questions so little time. Know one even knows if the AWD conversion was successful or if possibly something is wrong.

I totally agree with everyone here . this car is most definitely not 5k anymore. Maybe what's fair is that the buyer take the car 1st, assess it and then post his findings(with pics of replacement parts) for the community to decide what's fair for the $. As long the community here can honestly vouch for the buyer. A little deposit before you take it will suffice.
The buyer should also give a time line on completing the project. If not then this 'sale' might drag on for too long

Wait, so is this for sale still or not?


yes its still for sale @5k. Its better to communicate though email with longsbeans@hotmail.com and I can respond almost immediately.


wow i just read the history of this thread and all i can say is wow, this is nuts tongue.gif

the price hasnt dropped a dollar and the whole deal revolves around this RAY guy? you couldnt pay me two grand for him to let me do the work needed aka hold on to it for another 5 years.

if anyone would considering paying anywhere near the 5 grand for a car thats been sitting for 5 years (at least), and in the middle of a conversion, that deal would have to include being free to be able to drive up, and take the car far, far away from Ray.

sorry i dont mean to come off harsh, but seriously? its so sad to see this celly like this, still, after all this time, and so many people obviously interested.


Hi gen6, what would you say would be a fair selling price?
Yep it so sad to see my celi lying at ray's workshop. Maybe some socal 6gen lovers would find it easier to take this over. Any takers?

You're right czwalga, I just told Raymond to get the parts and finish the project. hopefully It'll be done when I come to LA at the end of the month and I can settle a sale.
here is his facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/db-Au...161478583880746

Wait! So the ST-205 fuel tank won't fit your clone? Why not? Didn't you do the conversion to AWD and basically swapped everything?

BTW my stock ST-204 FWD cloned to ST-205 is done, but if I had seen your post before stating my project a year ago, I would have bought yours and complete it. Too late, GLWS.


its tough to find one. back when i was searching in 2008....

Just so that it's clear, we would pay you $5,000.00 and then give the parts to Raymond so that he can assemble them and complete the car right. Will he charge us for these services extra or his services are included with the price?



his services are already paid for. you would just need to get in the parts

cheers!

hmm. must of missed it somewhere... how much is the asking price on this? kindasad.gif

my bad its in the subtitle tongue.gif



Hi all, sorry for the late reply.
I've dropped the price to $5000. If you can get the fuel tank and front axles for Raymond the mechanic he'll assemble it for you. I don't think he has started the car in the past 3 years years.

cheers

So, what's happened to the car? Does anybody know anything? Has it really been sold or is it still available?


Yep is it still available. FortuneCookie ran into some administartive issues with DMV because he couldn't be there in person to register the car as he was serving in Afganistan.

ok I called him and the car's still with him...... PHEW!

he has moved to 19949 Valley Boulevard, Walnut, CA 91789
and he towed it over.


I can vouch for the seller, but I have never seen the car. Back when this thread was first created he sold me a pair of 404 replica side skirts. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

If you google map the new location you can see the Celica parked up against the building facing the street... thumbsup.gif - its the one with the car cover bunched up on it on the hood.


good eyes! You can see the little circular hood scoop at a particular magnified angle

Nope it hasn't been started. I am not back but will be for a short holiday sometime this year. hope to sell this car by then.

The AWD is in. the only 2 things left is the front drive axles and the fuel tank. If someone can find these parts and give it to Raymond the mechanic he will finish up the car.

Personally i don't like the gold GT four sign. One of the students at Los angeles trade tech decided t put it there without my consent. I was going to remove it once the car was ready...oh well.. some of you may like it...

Just wondering how much work is left on the car?


Tranny, clutch flywheel are in. whats left is a back ordered piece from toyota japan that secures the rear diff. But Raymond has 2 cars to prepare for a race in Dec so he will finish mine in Jan.

Here's a sad story: I sent it to get painted at a local college becos labor was free. it sat in there for 1 1/2 years
Then when they were done in July 2008 i took it to the mechanic to transform her into an AWD. But I am now leaving the country to singapore for work for an indefinite period of time.
The car still needs a ST205 fuel tank and the 2 front drive axles
So i'll never get to drive it and experience the AWD =(

If anyone wants to take it off my hands feel free to. if not she'll just be sitting at my mechanic's shop. ( he said he didn't mind me leaving it there)
Please communicate through my email: longsbeans@hotmail.com. since the PM box here is so small

-Bought car from Ryu3x16 in april 2006
-Clean title,
-I know a place to pass smog,
-the 3s has about 50k miles on it
-chassis has about 140k
-whats being installed now: brand new clutch and fly wheel, ST205 rear diff and the whole 9 yards.
-Brand new paint, I only saw it for couple of hours driving from the college to the mechanic.
- I pretty much prepaid for most of the work and parts already

U can see my profile for more the existing mods.
or here is ryu's profile of the car http://www.6gc.net/index.php?action=members&itu=774



*sob*

EDIT#5: dropped the price to $5000. need to sell this...its been too long...someone takeover this baby of mine

EDIT#4: Raymond(and the car) has now moved to 19949 Valley Boulevard, Walnut, CA 91789

EDIT#3: edited price becos its still not finished (fuel tank and front axles). The car's at 2875 South Diamond Bar Boulevard, Diamond Bar, CA 91765-3418
