6G Celicas Forums

Okay, thanks that explains it. I saw that but was being thrown off by the http designation since most of these types of sites let you upload them directly from your computer..

Okay, I know I'm old and stupid so can you please teach how to post pics? I've looked at everything I can find on this site and still can't figure it out... Many thanks!!!

Driver's seat needs to be fixed and the car needs to be stripped and painted. I'll be sanding the old girl down to bare metal in the coming weeks so the painter can prime and paint it back to the original red.

Would if I could but don't see instructions on how to do so. There are some pic under my profile mocwon

Picked up a 1994 ST hatchback with 122,000 miles on it for $400 from a friend's daughter who uglied the car out and totally neglected it; hence the name chosen for the project. Started by cleaning up the engine bay so I could replace the maintenance items like timing belt, tensioner, water pump, all hoses and belts and one broken motor mount; about $200. $100 for replacement radiator core support from donor car since this Celica was either backed into pretty hard at one point or ass-ended another vehicle. The previous repair was obviously done by a hack that knew nothing about automotive collision repair. $60 for driver side axle since the CV boots were toast. About $175 for new rotors and pads for the front and new drums, wheel cylinders and shoes for the rear so the thing now stops. About $200 for replacement air bags, clock spring, control module and impact sensors from donor cars so that system could be put back in proper operating condition. Yanked out the nasty carpet and dropped in a $20 junkyard black carpet that cleaned up nicely. $50 for donor driver side door shell and another $50 for donor car front bumper cover both awaiting their turn for painting and addition to ye old Terd Bucket. $400 for new Denso A/C compressor, condenser, drier and expansion valve ready for installation as time permits.

This is exactly the sort of reply I was hoping for when I posted the question the other day about ideas for replacing the slide cover on my 6th generation Celica. All the dim wits that responded could say was install a 5-speed which about a useless response as anyone could give. Were you able to just snake the slide cover in with the shifter plate still installed or did you have to take the sifter plate off? Thanks for this write up!!!!!
