Aight so I got my st202 back yesterday night around 10pm. When my Dad and I got home. I will post pics tomorrow but here is the list of wrongful doings to it so far. Will post more as the findings increase.

Body:

multiple crack in the front bumper
Multiple cracks in the rear bumber
Carcked and worn side skirts
Dings on the roof
Ding in the L/s door and rear quarter panel
Ding on the r/s door
Cracked L/s fender(bondo)
torn tint on the hatch
scuffed tint on the r/s rear window
surface rust in the lug housing of all four rims
Dents and drag wear on the muffler
The outside!!!! Smelled like cat piss, took care of that problem real quick!!!!!!
Inside smells old if thats even possible

Engine:

Water mixed with oil
rusted flywheel n clutch
extremly greasy
nipple on on pressure valve of the intake broken
Almost every nut n blot is rusted on the whole frickin car.

This list seems like alot but after looking at the car and reviewing the list its not as bad as it seems. All lil TLC, and time, and she be back to my standards (808 type ) in no time. Stay tuned.

Actually they do, every car in the world as a VIN. On JDM celica's there is a plate on the fire wall, which tells you the vin, engine number, and model number. The model number/vin(ST202-123456) is also stamped in the fire wall next to the strut mounting points. This VIN can be used to register the vehicle state-side, though the VIN is different in stature to a USDM vehicle the principle remains the same. Plus most states excluding CA. will take your J-title and and re-issue you a state title in return, atleast Missouri will.

ahh, my bad, forgot about that. thats cool though, keep us posted on the registering thing, I'll ahve to check with Oregon to see if they will do the same. You need to change anything to make it EPA/DOT compliant? Sorry for picking your brain but I'm going the same route as you. I just can't leave my baby here in Oki, lol!

yeah I used to worry about paint until the acid rain ate each wax job and the idiots parking around here gave me plenty of door dings >.<
