Hello all just registed and am picking up a 02 celica gt on wednesday. Been wasnting a celica for quite awhile but boy do they hold there value . the 02 i am getting is a fixer-upper needs a trans , it's a 5 speed so i am looking for a 6 speed to swap it out for , so if anyone has one for sale or knows where there is one shoot me a pm. the other oodity is the car is missing the interior from the rear seats and carpet into the trunk . i only am paying 1k for the car and it has 159k on the odometer .

It'll probably need a new engine soon enough as well

Will do ! I picked her up today and i was surprised how good of shape it's in . Trans. is in need of replacement but i knew that . When i got to the car lot this morning it was around 5* (burrrrrrr) i felt the hood to see if they had started it earlier but it was cold and it started fine and not a hint of any kind of rattle from the engine , no blow by at all when i unscrewed the the oil fill cap and we let her run till it got up to temp . The rims need work the powder coating was peeling on all the rims , probably hit them lightly with a sand blast and paint them for now . Now i am not a big guy by any means but the steering wheel doesn't tilt up very far and i rub my leg getting in and pushing the clutch in far enough to start with work boots on takes some finesse but i can't wait to get her running and enjoy some mileage , hauled her back with my 08 ford powerstroke that got 13.8 mpg last tank
