Well as everyone should know by now, on May 12/3 I sold my Celica and I purchased a 2002 ST246 N-Edition Caldina in Japan.
Anyway, the car got to the compliance workshop last Tuesday and is in the final phases of the import process. A few shots of the car at the docks in Japan:   At the moment the car is waiting for our Government to make the Compliance Plate (A bit of metal that indicates the car is legally imported). Which may take 1-3 weeks... While that waits I am getting a few things fixed up so she should be sweet for delivery and roadworthy!

It's all in good nature. I understand wanting the reliable daily part, for some reason a 36 year old muscle car fights you tooth and nail at times.
 Could've gotten a Matrix XRS or whatever they call it over there, slightly detuned 2ZZ-GE and 6-speed from the 7GC GT-S but in a wagon. Of course my solution would be to get an old hearse, but hey that's just me.
