sad face.




Sounds like it's all over

I know i wouldn't want to take on a job of that size. Have a good think about it....

Here are the pictures I took:








The last time I had it:

what was once a beautiful car...

I teared up a lil bit on that one..... If you end up getting it, I'm sure with help from other members in the way of elbow grease, sourcing very cheap parts and stuff it would work, but that is of course up to you and your fam. Let us know what's up and keep that kid's number or whatever cuz if it's still unsold when I get back, I will have enough to get her and get her up and going how she is supposed to be. Keep us in the loop.

looks crap now

What's happened to the fit of all the panels?!?!

I don"t think it's a Coomer thing.
When you HAVE to let something go and regret it from the start, the chance to get it back is a HUGE shot ot adrenelline! I know the feeling!
If I were there & had a garage, I would DEF give you ALL the space & time you wanted, & get elbows in with you!!
Any one around there have extra space to share if they decide to do this??

{ If there was ANY chance I could get my favorite car back, I would sell the Camaro in a heartbeat!! I have some fond memories with my girls when they were babies in that car... ... }

What an emotional journey this is for the 2 of you!!
I have some extra interior plastics that came with it when my Bride bought it. IDK what's there. I can find out Monday sometime. I have all 4 headlight rubbers in great shape too!
Wish I knew what to do...

As Always, my Bride & I wish you & Bonnie the BEST.

This thread is quickly making me very sad; I remember when I first joined 6gC and just drooling over Coomer's car - it was the epitome of cool. The condition it's in now is plain deplorable; I can see why you're hesitant and I don't blame you one bit. I wish you and Bonnie the best in whatever you decide but you two should definitely think about it...maybe she's right and it's just time to let it go.

Hard to say but calling it now: Yelli Celli is no more.

Such a sad day in 6gC history.

Agreed^^

i'd like to punch that kid in the face on behalf of 6gc.... but its not THAT bad man... its definately fixable just take your time and lowball the hell out of him! i got my coupe for 1500 stock, he needs to AT THE MOST offer that.... because he's a douchebag.

DAng, did these idiots rally it, or what, why is the paint falling off from the fromt bumper, the front splitter may be fixed with FG, the sideskirt may be replaced if found.

the engine work will be the problem..

Dang, 2000? hmm maybe 1700, or the most 1800. The kid is nuts if he is going to sell it for what he wants.

GL, hope you make the right choice

Whoaaa... that is hard to even glance at. Sorry to hear about its downfall

It wasn't even in THAT bad of shape when the guy you originally sold it to had it. (although he did hit a deer ).

Rare car, yes!...But $3k worth...hell no. Keep us updated if anything happens with this.

I'm thinking of emailing him and lowballing the sh1t out of him, so that way if Matt wants to counter, his offer will look better

Do it lol

I'd even email and do the same.

Oh I should mention also that I have some very very excellent condition interior plastics that I would be willing to contribute, should you decide to buy the car back and restore it. I was saving them for myself should I want to use them in the future, but I'd totally be willing to donate them for this!

Kelso isn't that far from Portland, is it? I'm thinking I'll go up and look at the car myself and then offer him $1500 for it. But only if Matt & Bonnie decide that they want to go for it if he accepts whatever they offer him.

Ill email.hahaha

Kelso is only an hour north of Portland, but I am going to wait to hear back from the kid. I left the ball in his court, but I think that if I were to get another Celica I think I would want to build it up myself. With the motor in questionable shape, and the exterior in obvious poor condition, I would feel much better starting with something I know the history of. There are two years that are unaccounted for, and its all when it went downhill. With the owner's inability to be straightforward with me (please, sideskirts just don't mysteriously FALL OFF, and you don't just NOT notice that the driver's window has been replaced. Please, I'm not stupid) I am really reluctant to pull the trigger no matter what the price is.


I suppose I will wait to see what his next move is, but I'll most likely pass and wait for a stock or near stock Celica and build it up to "Yelli Celi Status". That way I will know everything about it.

Sounds like good reasoning, can't really argue with that. Good for you, I support whatever the outcome is.
