My first car done right

what do you mean by corners?

 

Things we fixed over the 10 months of repairs
New timing belt
fixed Transmission leak
power steering works again ( all new steering rack )
New water pump
removed non functional Air conditioning system
replaced all fluids
painted a lot of the Black moldings black again
New wiper blades
power washed engine bay

Things left to do:

clean the inside of the car out again
new motor for passenger side rear window ( it's very weak )
The overdrive seems to not be functioning even though the light comes on and off
Oil leak
fix scratches dents and chips which in pictures seems fine but if you look closely it has a lot of little scratches dings and chips
get new console cover
get new passenger side locking switch cover
fix exhaust leak ( already located ) I think it sounds better loud
reverse lights dont work



A bunch left to do, you're never really finished with a celica though are you

 

The timing belt blew again last night, at least i think, my dad was coasting it down a hill and it just quit. :banghead
we might get a mechanic or someone who knows more about those systems to look at it, twice in a thousand miles guys, i dont know
we haven't actually popped the cover off yet so it could be something silly, but it most likely wont be working for awhile AGAIN!

In other news my dad bought a 1966 Chrysler 300 for 500$
the guy must have been stoned of his ass to sell this beautiful car for that dirt cheap price

Amazing inside and out, almost no Rust, took only a couple days to get it running, still needs brakework

Still, I hope to get my Celica fixed in under ten months this time!

 

I figured it out, when we put it back together last time, we didnt tighten the tensioner all the way down, and since my last post the Alternator went bad out of the blue, the battery died during the fourth of july parade i was in, how embarassing, we had to jump it 5 times on the way home but it's in good working order now, i drove it 250 miles last week on vacation without issue

 

There are a couple things you guys might know better that need attention, the first being that when you click the left turn signal all the way down the signal stops flashing and a loud sort of high pitched noise comes from behind the steering wheel, however if you hold left down half way it works as long as you dont click it down, and what is even wierder is the right works perfectly Anyone have a diagnosis, i already checked and both turn signal bulbs are functioning, i'll upload a video later and link it
