My first car done right

1987 GT Vert

last spring my dad bought a 1987 convertible for me and my brother for just 800 USD
It needed some work, when we bought it it was the first time the car moved in ten years, it had no fuel pump, the back window was torn and the splitter was broken along with some pretty faded super red and nuts in the trunk, after a little mechanical work and and an interior clean out, it looked pretty darn good

but it still needs some parts, like the splitter and a couple interior trinkets but other than that a great first car for cheap, I love to drive it
unfortunately I cant right now though because we're fixing a broken timing belt that happened shortly after that picture, and some leaks and other things
so i can't drive it until spring, I wouldn't dare using this in the snow anyway
FWD
No airbags
Currently No power steering
No ABS
Convertible

plus all that salt on the road, I would hate to rust it out

First post here!

 

here are some more pictures of where it sits right now, i'll try to get some of the interior tommorow while I work on it tommorow





One of the problems if I didn't mention it is all of the black parts need to be repainted
and I already mentioned but the lip is broken, and i've heard they are hard to find true?

 

Interior pics:
also some of the crappy gray parts that we need to paint
one more thing, does anyone have a spare cover for that passenger side door lock switch in the picture

 

My Garage is bigger than my house because the property used to be a farm or something so it could probably fit 5 cars if there weren't so many car parts in it, my dad sells a lot of parts of Old American muscle cars and he has enough Datsun 240Z parts to build 3, but not a single piece for 4th gens

 

the engine is out, ill post a pic soon, my dad had open heart surgery last week, so progress is delayed

 

he is recovering well, he walked a mile today

on the engine note were just fixing the engine that was in it, a few leaks and that shredded timing belt I posted about in the op

the car has no aftermarket anything and im probably going to keep it that way, they're worth more stock arent they?

 

the dirtiest pic of it i have i wish it was summer again, i remember when this was taken, it was 75 degrees and i had just got home from a cruise by the beach, it was sunny

 

After almost 3 months of stalling, surgeries, and cold weather putting off work on my celica, were finally digging out of the snowbank and getting massive progress. But we've come upon a problem, the trans has been leaking since we first drove it, and we finally took it off today to find this.

I have no idea where it is leaking from, my dad is stumped as well. Could anyone offer advice?

And for those inquiring about my garage, here it is
also a pic of my Dad's project Datsun


The only other thing left to take apart is the steering rack, which needs rebuilding to get the power steering back on.
after that it's only a question of money to get this thing done in april or may

 

IT'S DONE!!! :hurray
finally, it is working again, i'm going to wash it real good when i get home from school tommorow
and post sexy pics
