    well i woke up yesterday to goto work and go outside...the water pump is leaking on the fan belt and has been for a while so it always squeeks a bit when starting...it also blows blue...

    so i start it, smoke comes out of exhaust and squeeking happens, rev engine squeeking keeps going smoke stops, rev again squeeking continues....smoke starts coming from hood, hear a snap more smoke turn off...decide its probably the headgasket (alot of overheating dueto low water...

    nope the fan belt came off and got jammed between crank and tensioner pulleys.... melted to shit... so instead of buying a new water pump and fan belt i insured my celica!!!

    painted the back wheels today, fixed my headlight (for now) and charged the battery starts right up and ready to hit the roads tomorrow! sounds so nice ;p so i guess ill be working on exterior of celica and fixing sprint while i wait for shmoot to look for parts for the celica.. gonna sell the sprint when i fix it and should have the partsin the celica by then and bamn nice car again ;p
