And our poor beat up Celica goes into the body shop for the THIRD time this year.
 But.........after mulling it over, we've decided to "fix" a couple of things while it's in there. Insurance is giving us almost $300 for the two driver side headlamps, so today I'm placing an order for a set of Projectors and Highs. Won't have time to do the conversion and install halo's in the set like I want, but that's a project for when the car is parked in the three car garage once we're in IL next spring. Second, insurance is giving us $36 for the driver side turn signal lamp, so if I remember right, a set of clears is only like $30 on eBay, so I'm going to snag a set of those. As for the rest, I'm not going to try to source out spare parts and pocket any insurance money because mainly, I don't have the time, and don't want to risk finding broken tabs or ripped mounting holes or anything. Just going to let things run the course. Pics to follow soon.......hopefully no more than 1-2 weeks in the shop depending on parts availability. --------------------  |

im pretty convinced celicas are bad luck. Whether it be getting in wrecks or people vandilizing. For our relativly small population, we sure do have alot of bad luck.

When we move to IL in March, the Celi gets a lovely home inside a nice warm garage. -------------------- |
