So I got a 1994 celica 2.2. It has 180,000. I bought it needing a clutch. So i got the clutch and put it in. It was a pain in the ass. Finally after the clutch was said and done i take the car on the highway, engine got hot, and when i got home, i left it running and the radiator blew everywhere. THe power steering leaks, the drivers side door doesnt open, the battery is dead and the starter is no good. Dont know what im doing posting this, but im ready to throw this car in the trash. Not to mention i transferred registration today from a car that works fine to that piece, and now i have nothing to drive. I like this car, but hate it so much.

Thankfully from the things you listed you only have about another $100 in repairs, probably less. Your overheating problems are probably because of a stuck thermostat. It sounds like the car has been sitting for a while and you might want to go over the hoses and belts to look for dryrot. And I would definately change the oil. Hope things get better.
