Long story short. A kid was going to trash this 1987 Celica GTS just because the passenger axle was shot and the drivers side knuckle assembly was missing. So I paid junk price at $350 and towed it home. Here's how it sits for now. It's getting worked on slowly and eventually it'll be back on the road. As for plans for now. Is to make it run and see if my lil bro wants it. If he doesn't then I'm going to make this my function car and maybe AutoX it for fun. My st162.net screen name is iLoveMyDirtBag87.

Sorry for the late update but the car is all smogged and tuned and errythang. Only last thing I want to do is upgrade the exhaust piping to 2.25". Also my clutch slave cylinder took a **** and I tried replacing it but I ended up crossthreading the hyd line......so I'ma have to attempt to rethread it with a die.
