FS: 1994 Celica w/ 3rd Gen 3S-GTE Options

Hi Peeps... Yes.. I'm back... but with bad news. Before I start explaining, let me tell those who don't me, you can read about my car here:

http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6255

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I have to sell my car. I had an unfortunate event the day after Thanksgiving. I rear ended a S500 on my way home from Black Friday shopping. Rather than putting anymore into this car than I already have, I think I'm at that age where I need to just move on. It's really breaking my heart to type this because I've had this car since 1994 (I'm the original owner), and was hoping to keep this car as a WIP Project car till I grow old. But I really should just hand her over to another enthusiast who will be willing to take good care of her as well as I tried to do.

How bad was the damage? In my eyes... bad enough relative to how much I spent on the GT-FOUR hood and the Varis body kit. When I collided with the person in front of me, the front bumper crumpled, headlights (except for the passenger-side lowbeam) cracked to pieces, and the GT-FOUR hood folded. Fortunately, the front fenders didn't get damaged at all. Some internal parts got damaged as well, (i.e. the radiator and POSSIBLY, NOT CERTAIN the heat exchange for the A/W Intercooler). The windshield is cracked from both airbags getting deployed.

I got rear ended by a big rig last year, so the Varis rear bumper is cracked, but still repairable. The front bumper on the other hand isn't.

From what I can tell, the Celi is still repairable. The amount you'll spend will more than likely be less than what I spent on all the body work, the motor, motor installation, WIRING, etc. I'm planning on taking pictures some time this week. What sucks is that I had just bought new tires about 3 weeks ago, and got new brakes in August.

Anway, again, I feel really crushed right now because I spent over $10K on this car since I've owned her, but a lot of time, effort, AND LOVE into her... but feel that it's best to just let her go.

If you are at all interested in buying her AS-IS to either repair, or salvage the parts for a motor swap, feel free to post here, PM me, or email me an offer. My email is rayf@illmaticonline.com

A very sad Celi enthusiast,
Ray

Ever since I started this new job, I haven't had time to do anything. Not only that, I also purchased a house last year, which is what all my expenses have been going into. I definitely miss coming on here and choppin it up with all you guys.

Sorry, but I got home really late last night and couldn't take any pictures. If I get home early today, then I'll take some pics as soon as I get home. Most likely, I won't get home early because I got to work late. It took me 2.5 hours to get to work today because some big rig collided with a car, which ejected the driver and killed him. That car somehow spun out of control, facing the westbound on the eastbound traffic. That's how the big rig hit him. The big rig ended up smashing THROUGH the center divider, ending up on the freeway going westbound. So yeah... it was a really HORRIBLE drive to work today... and to think... I left early. =/

Anway... I'll try to get some pics ASAP for you guys.

On a side note: I kept thinking about my car all day yesterday again... and how hard it was to get a lot of the parts (Apex Intake, E153 tranny with LSD, Varis body kit, etc.) If I were to start up this project again... I'd hate to go through all that again... grrr... I think I'm mostly crushed about the body kit most of all... since it's not easy getting kits from Japan.

Take care guys. I'll be in touch.
