Toyota Celica = No Go No Mo', Almost Dead Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

So its happened. My Car is about 90 percent done-zo. On Friday I was driving and blew a radiator hose. For those of you who have seen that tubgirl website yeah thats what it looked like all over my hood and windshield. So I replaced that and thought itd be fine. Nope its deciding that overheating everytime I drive is the cool thing to do. My dads warned me for a year that I would need a new engine because mines getting tired but I didnt listen and didnt save any money. Now the car is pretty much going to kill over and I wont be able to fix it. It wouldnt be much to get a new 5sfe. Probably 300 bucks but then my dad would have to build it up and thatd take a while cuz hes a 60 year old man but hey you cant beat FREE mechanical labor. :-) So im hoping maybe just maybe before the engine dies that I can get outta debt and look at new cars. Probably wont happen but hey its a nice dream. An older Lexus IS300 is sounding pretty tempting

So anyways yeah I doubt ill be making it around to any shows this year in my car. :-(

I guess thats what happens though when you have 230,000 miles on the car and you have personally put 145,000 on in 4.5 years.

Id like a new car. My dad is all about dropping a new engine in it.

The thermostat does need to be changed but my dad knows that the engine is going KA-PUTT so hed like to change everything out and basically make everything under the hood new or rebuilt.

nice job keeping it going for so many miles. good luck

all the props go to my dad. granted he doesnt let me learn anything aout hte car because hes always doing everything but hey free is better than paying for it all.
