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:

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

I think if I would have spent the mondo cash on that kit, I would kill anyone who touched it.. Then again I already have that mindset about everything..

You really don't know how bad I wanted to KILL the truck driver that rear ended me... especially after the CHP told me that it was my fault. He more than likely would have agreed with me in saying that the truck driver was at fault and driving WRECKLESSLY had he witnessed the accident first hand. Seriously... I wish I had his address right now.. you really don't know...
