Operation Terd Bucket Options

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.

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..
