New Member $100 Celica purchase Options

[pcol333]

Well long story but, I was working a with my buddy in his food truck at an auction. Didnt plan on buying anything but I was like what the heck ill get a ticket. It was an estate sale so everything had to be sold. Multiple vehicles and whatnot. Found a 98 Celica sitting in the back that caught my eye. And not a great turnout of people. So they begin to auction it and start it at $500, no one says anything for a while. He drops to $300, nothing. Drops to $200, nothing. So then finally drops to $100, and i figured I better speak up before he stops. So I was the only one to bid and got the thing for $100. I probably could have got it for less . Needless to say I had no info on it before hand. He didnt clean it at all, so I got a bunch a free tools inside such as a 3/8" craftsman impact, pliers, strippers, microwave, etc. Also it didnt have a title so I had to pay an extra $95 at the dmv to get it. Anyways here it is. Not sure the plans for it yet.

Oh and I threw a battery in it when I got it home, Turns over but the tiiming belt isnt spinning, hopefullly the belt teeth just stripped out.
And last but not least, I ended up also buying an 03 Yamaha blaster in decent running shape for $275, and a 300ex for $50 lol.

OK i wiil check those blues out. Im definitely leaning towards blue. I would almost go candy blue but i really dont want to put that much extra work and coats of paint into a car I plan on selling. I should have the complete powertrain out of the car in the few days, my only issue now is deciding whether or not to put all the accessories back in the engine bay, i.e. A/C compressor, lines, condensor, cruise control, evap, power steering, etc. lol. It looks soo clean without that stuff in there right now, though I know it would be much easier to sell with everything re installed. We will see, haha.
