Herro.... I don't think this car really needs that much of an introduction as I'm sure most of you may (or possibly may not) recognize it. Picked this up from Edgar earlier this week after my last daily was stolen the Friday before Turkey Day and was recovered the following Wednesday in an even ****tier condition than it left. lol So the Celica is going to continue to serve daily duties for me as it did the previous owners. Anywho, it's been about 9 years since I was last in a 6GC and I'm happy to be back in one. I have a few things planned for it, but trying to prioritize some other plans first before I can set funds aside for the car. I'd post more pictures, but it's cold as bawls and it's raining/snowing/sleeting down here and I've been working 15 hour days. -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}

So progress was made over the weekend.
Headed down to my buddy's shop right after work to get started on pulling the motor out. We limited ourselves to 2 hours to get whatever we could get done since we had a meet to attend to that night. During our rummage and removal, we saw a bunch of random **** that didn't make sense or just looked appalling. Few things to note were: -Cam cover held on with 1 zip tie. (eh?) -alternator ground grounded at the fender underneath the balljoint for the hood strut. (wat?) -Intercooler core chilling on a rusted plate and held in place with just in the pipes. (wert?) -front motor mount was bolted to the crossmember (cradle?) thing, but not to the engine. (wut?) -the ****-asaurus rex of a wiring ****-fest at the ECU along with the gobs of tees for the vacuum lines. (nani dafuq?) -slew of wires running about the engine bay, both in use and not in use. (h'wat?) A lot of this will be taken care of in the next coming months. I have some good, OCD people working with me. It's gonna be a fun couple of months as Sundays and possibly Friday evenings are about the only times I'll have available to work on this and possibly Turkey week. The journey shall continue after I get back from Sema. -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}
