    It's an amazing story on how i got this beauty!! i was with at the car auctions, just checking out the cars they had there...and out of no where i hear this beast purring from the distance i snap my neck to see what it could be and all i got glimpse of was the last centimeter of the "WHITE LIGHTNING" decal, and being a previous owner of a 88 CELICA ST162 and my dream car being the 88 CELICA GT4 ST165, i knew how rare a white lightning is!! and i couldnt believe my eyes so i sprinted to it like a kid in a candy store i didnt know what to do what to look at first my heart was pounding out of my chest, at first i thought it was in the auction, then to my excitement, the driver told me it was his!! i was looking around her and she was flawless to my eyes and when i asked him about her he tells me something i would only dream of.... shes for sale!!... at that second i thought "i need her" as much as money is a massive problem... i didnt think of it!! and while still looking at her i notice something i couldnt believe shes only done 165000kms, i desired her even more!! as he continued to told me how he completly reconditioned the head, everything is working and theres no rust at all!! I asked him "so how much do you want??" "$2000" he replied, after taking her from a test drive i noticed she needed a clutch and regasing or TX valve or both!! we came a conclusion of $1600 at that night i went to his house to give him a deposit and a week later i picked her up, every morning i wake up and cant believe i own a white lighting its a dream come true!!
    AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, HERE SHE IS...

    Nice find
    I need to see some close-up pics of those side decals.

    Pay attention to the alternator harness, the head holder is missing and you could have a fire with the wires lying on the exhaust. I chopped down a ST18x holder to solve this problem.

    GT4 alternator cooler helps cool the alternator and the exhaust wrap keeps temps down and helps prevent fires
