New Very Happy Owner & Member Here! (LOT OF PICS)

Hey Everyone!

Mi name is Ismael, im from Puerto Rico, but currently live in El Paso,TX.

I Just picked this beauty yesterday, the seller price was $1,000 first, then i realized the stickers were out of date, so dropped the price to $800, and took it for $725!

The car was dirty as f*ck! I NEVER seen such a dirty car! it was like they NEVER wash him!!

Its a Celica st162 1987' ST. 177,272M. STD tranny,

The car runs very very nice! Starts at the first try, even cold.

It just need a few things, like, oil & filter change, a/c blows but doesn't get cold! :byodood (In El Paso, sometimes the temperature is 102!)

The interior was dirty as well, the seats have some tears, and some of the air vents are messed up.

Today i spent like 3 hours trying to fix the speedometer! It was disconnected and i couldn't find the transmission plug! But i did and fix it!

Here are some pics with description:

The projectors that you have, are a easy install? They look great but are kinda expensive,

 

Thanks You! Greetings From El Paso, Texas!

Yeah it was quite and effort, under neat it was extremely dirty! But was worth it! I been here in Texas for 2 years, and my Celica is the fist 4gen i had seen! So i get a LOT of head-turns!

Well, he like very much my car, but he's more of a European (BMW) Enthusiast, this is he's ride;



BTW, i LOVE your Red Beauty!!! That's my favorite color in a Celica, i use to own a 5gen Red and i love it!
