okay,so,we got our hands on a 97 limited edition for $500!!! The interior and exterior is in MINT condition....except for the fact it was in a light front end collision...just needs head lights,bags and a hood at this point as I had extra fenders and a c-one style FRP bumper... Can't wait to sink my hands in this baby.

The dude basically had it as a project car and then he inherited an antique Fiat convertible so he kinda gave up on the Celica and had 5 cars in his driveway so he decided to let it go dirt cheap. My buddy is gonna give me a call tomorrow to see how much a it will be to put a new clutch into it because it does engage high but other than that it runs nicely...gonna need some new pads too just from it sitting. My brother,my friend Nate and I busted out this car in about 4 hrs including some bodywork...sledge hammer and a chisel FTW
I'll post a video after I toss the rest of the bolt-ons in.
