I've made so much progress in the past few weeks with my car (thanks mostly to local board members) that I thought I would jump on the band wagon & start my progress thread too.
This thread, just like the car; is a work in progress.  My Car was purchased back in 2006 and was meant to be a project car right away, but unfortunately I was busy with my career at the time and she was quickly neglected. 1994 Celica GT-S w/ ~224K kms on it (approx 139187 miles) Interior was in great condition, nothing special done to it...    Exterior was in decent shape, except for the driverside fender, which was mashed in, punched back out, and rattle canned. The most unique feature of this car, was the dual exhaust.

I finally got sick of all my procrastination and fear of taking the block apart on my own; so I locked myself in the garage tonight until it was done.
 Overall not bad. I pussy'd out and didn't take apart the head properly, I just removed the assembly from the block and set it off to the side. Suprisingly enough seperating the block from the head was not the daunting task I thought it would be. Yay.Examining the chambers, it would appear there was some debris in there and I can see some marking, but over all the chambers are in decent shape. Regardless, this engine has been sitting for awhile and the block is going for a day at the spa. Hot tanked, cylinders honed, and possibly machined if needed. Anyways, the pictures should speak for themselves. The block is completely stripped and ready to go (aside from a few bolts that I still need to document before I take it somewhere. Enjoy! I sure did.                       What sensor is this??  This post has been edited by KAOS: Dec 22, 2014 - 3:04 PM -------------------- |
