isn't she cute?..lol

After going to the DWG meet, my gf (sarah) wanted a 6th gen sooo bad. She has an 83 3rd gen right now, but she wants to upgrade to somethin a bit newer, safer and better looking. So right after we got back DWG she tried to figure out how she could afford one, and luckly enough, her grandmother gave her a $4500 loan. So after checkin in the states, on autotrader, craigslist, kijiji *canadian craigslist essentialy*, checkin with some of my friends who can get pretty much any sort of car, and ironicly found one on autotrader.ca. Went up, took a look, test drive, and nogociated the price. The guy originaly wanted $3900 as is, i managed to talk him down to $3850 with tax, as is. So shes headin up there tomorrow to pick it up. Any ways, details on it.

Its a 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S, 2.2L, 5spd, silver, black and dark blueish interior. The car has 215xxxKM on it, runs smoother than my car..lol. The interior is mint except for the usual slight rip on the siders side bolster support, and there is a small rip in the vynal on the dash pad. Theres no rust what so ever *that i could find*, no bondo, the paint is kinda mucked up a bit, there are a few good sized scratches but nothing that a good buff wouldnt clear up. The front end was tapped slightly and the fender got re-straited, but no accidents what so ever on it. But yea, shes gonna pick it up tomorrow, tow it to her house *no front brakes*, then im gonna go home on the weekend and work on it while shes in New York for a wedding. So by the time she gets home, im gonna have the paint fixed up a bit, repaint the dashboard plastics *old owner hacked job painted them gray*, put her new shift knob on, shift boot, front brakes, front sway bar end links, install the cd player from her car into it, install my old bass tube subwoofer and just do some quick work on it, clean up engine bay, readjust the fender and just give the car a good once over to make sure its gonna b good. Then on Tuesday when she gets back from NYC, shes gonna go get it e-tested and safetied. She will probably be making an account on here sometime soon.

As for plans for it, we are probably gonna be buyin a 404 kit for it b4 the winter, lowering it, set of 17" replica Buddy Club P1 racing rims, paint it BMW navy blue and then just keep it relatively stock performance wise. Im gonna build her a short ram intake with some of my old parts sittin in my garage, gonna get her a magnaflow muffler and do a half back exhaust.

Its gonna b fun having another celica to work with now and its gonna b run building it the way she wants to.

yep....

so yesterday was a fun day. we took the car to a shop to get a safety check. So we go bring the car down, and pick it up and e found out we need new drums, a new front caliper, and 2 new tires on the front *good thing they are only $60 a peice*. So now we got a new caliper, drums, etc on order..should b in on wensday, but our temporary trip ticket is expired today and we cant get another one because we imported the car. So we are kinda screwed in that sence. But also, as we were coming back from the shop..sarah was driving at first and noticed that the brake pedal felt kinda spongy and the brakes didnt grab very well..so half way home we switched, i started to drive and then we had no brakes what so ever. So we pulled over and called the shop..and you have to love the conincidence of us leaving a shop where they were checking the brakes and pulled the drums off, and that within 20 min of picking it up, we blow a wheel cylinder. So we got the cylinder on order so its coming in on wensday too...but heres the best part....we are heading back to toronto untill like the 3rd on tuesday *yay*..lol. So we had to get Keroppi towed home...poor Keroppi. But when we get back in Sept, the work is gonna start all over again and she should be better than new.
