Tanner's '86 GT-S [May.2.10] Celica SOLD + New DD

Re: Tanner's '86 GT-S [Update - Sept.22.09] - 56k Beware!

Thanks for the comments guys!!!

lol rev_head that's a damn good way to put it. Thinking it's signature worthy :mrgreen:

I picked up the seal kit today. It came to $64.51 tax included. Little pricey but OEM is worth it imo.

It should all be fixed next week. Will update then.

New, uhh..... update:

Okay, so, well, don't know if you guys with believe this BUT...

Either I or one of my friends forgot to lock the door and over night someone went into my car and STOLE MY ASHTRAY which only had a couple pennies, nickels and maybe a couple dimes BUT left my brand new deck, the case for the deck, my $40 tire gauge, few tools in the glove box and centre console...

lol so uh yeah, I guess tomorrow when I head to abbotsford to hit up the junkyards I'm gonna have to look for a new ashtray believe it or not.

I know I know, I should be grateful I guess they DIDN'T steal the deck etc. but lol, who the heck steals a dang ashtray :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Yeah I'll admit I got off lucky but just cracked me up when I noticed that the only thing missing was my ashtray :mrgreen: .

Yeah we just bought leave and Rick I'll definitely check out the exhaust from that alltrac...getting some parts off that alltrac too. I'll have pictures and I'll get a price for the exhaust too

 

Re: Tanner's '86 GT-S [Update - Sept.25.09] - 56k Beware!

I checked out that Alltrac Rick but since that scrapyard is a little unorganized they don't place the car on tires, rims, blocks etc. but rather have them sitting on the underside of the body so I couldn't see the muffler/exhaust pipes, sorry Rick. My be heading back to grab that alltrac kit but am unsure. The front bumper is cracking; not sure it's it's fixable but even then he wanted $100 for it plus the side filler panels. Forgot to ask how much for the rest of he body pieces.

Lol, thanks for the comment.



Update:

Here are the parts I "grabbed" and bought from the scrapyards I went to while in Abbotsford/Chilliwack.

Undamaged left, rear taillight - $50


Undamaged front grill - $33


Passenger & Driver side running boards. Only two clips are slightly broken but still work.


Rear hatch struts. Work perfectly!!


Struts that I'm going to mod to use for the hood; grabbed them from Camry. The Camry had these for the hood.


- New ashtray....LOL :mrgreen:
- COMPLETE cup holder. Mint condition.
- Driver side door lock trim piece. Broken but my be able to use. - FREE...hahah
-Seat Lumbar switch - My lettering was faded. - FREE...again.


Shift knob - FREE


One of the coolest things I've seen. A TEQ oil cap. Stole 3 of these.


Another awesome part I found imo. A all metal power steering reservoir that says "TOYODA" on it. I didn't know Toyota would use the real way to spell Toyota on their parts. It's from a Celica Supra. Going to polish it up and use it for when I swap my engine in...pretty stocked on using it. It was nearly all black when I got it; cleaned it up best I could so far. This PS tank however, mounted on top of the pump rather than being separate from it.






Some badges I grabbed. Thinking what I'm thinking? TOYOTA CELICA GTST or GTS-T? lol. Just got to find a " - " so I can properly separate the "S" and "T" in "ST". I MIGHT put them under the taillights in the rectangular spot; that's if i decide to use them.



Here's a few other pictures from the Scrapyard:

Here is the power steering reservoir as it normally sits. This is another Celica Supra (5M-GE). Too bad this one had a severe engine fire or else I found have grabbed the PS tank from this car too.


This is hands down the nastiest dash board I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!! wtf!


Here is the wing my brother got from the white alltrac; going to use it on his '87 GT. The car and spoiler are going to be all painted black.




My car is currently sitting at the shop awaiting a new wheel hub. The loose wheel bearing which was getting replaced was loose for too long and resulting in destroying the hub. LOL, I said it before and was right: "Though it seems that once something is fixed another thing breaks."....lol oh well.

lol, I guess that's all for now. Thanks for reading/viewing.

Re: Tanner's '86 GT-S [Sept.29.09] - "Parts I Salvaged" Update

:mrgreen: Yeah it was a pretty good days work. I too can spend ALL day in a scrapyard; might not get anything but love looking at all the cars and the hopes of finding something useful.

TBH, the dashboard is made of hair scrunchies; I swear. Looks exactly like them; but tons of them sowed together lol.

Yeah, Jon you can have one of the oil caps if you'd like :mrgreen: . I doubt I'll need all 3. :mrgreen:

UPDATE:

Got my new wheel hub it today so that is being replaced as we speak. Should have the car back tomorrow. My muffler also arrived today but wasn't home so it's going to be re-delivered tomorrow; will have an update on that when it's installed (should be tomorrow as well)

New Hub - $139 shipped:

 

Re: Tanner's '86 GT-S [Sept.29.09] - "Parts I Salvaged" Update
