I should have kept it... I tried to roll the rear fenders a bit and it fell apart in my hands. The previous owner got the rusty fenders "rebuilt" with bondo and I opened up a CAN OF WORMS. I had to tear out the rest of the rust and then LITERALLY build the lip of the rear fender with nothing but bondo. It looked pretty legit. I sold it like a week later. Haha!

I just wanted to make it someone else's problem. I should have kept it, cut it out and welded in a new section (I almost did that)...

Oh well... I'm hoping to get an MKIII MR2 in the near future and swapping a 2ZZ in it, maybe a 2GR.

BUT!... a V8 7th gen Celica WILL happen before I die, haha!

[cheela]

nah i understand. but yeah looking back now, you should've cut the fenders and welded in metal flares. hehe.

MKIIIs are pretty cheap these days since no one really likes them compared to the MKIIs. that thing would fly with a 2gr!

v8 better a 1uzfe then. I want to 1uz EVERYTHING!

[narly_charley]

Haha!! Yeah, they are pretty "girly", but are a blast!

I think a 2GR would be practical and fun as hell!

As for the V8, I want to go with a 3UR (5.7 Tundra)...

Just saw this super clean 96' GT Convertible:

[cheela]

this one looks promising too. Just not a fan of red.

Still wondering what happened to mine after Zach traded it in for that Mustang.

I think I found Joe's old red 7th gen.

Still have the VIN?

[navseal345]

Maybe?

It's one of those things (selling it/ getting rid of it) you wish you never did but you're glad you did. At the time I never drove it enough to justify keeping it.

Although it still brings a tear to my eye when I think about it.

[richee3]

If you think you can still get the VIN, message me and I'll see what I can do to track it down. May not be much information but you never know.


I'm seeing 61 degrees and a 30% chance of rain next weekend. Should hopefully be decent weather.

I'd love to know where my 6th gen is. Do you do this at work? I have the VIN at home.

So I learned this morning that Johnson Control makes pretty much all car batteries, so a cheap EverStart from Walmart is just fine. The only difference is between warranties. Cool!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was pretty cool.

[bloodMoney]

One of you ****ers should buy my vert.


I'm serious. I've already done all the hard work of welding in the new core support.

I've added Lindsay (old man). He said he'll either be in the Celica with a for sale sign on it or the Fiesta.

Got my gauc stuff, except the serrano peppers. I'm going to make two batches, one very hot and one not so very hot. I have this strong desire to top a hotdog with gauc right now, a guacdog.

[navseal345]

I also got the propane.
