After posting a thread in the general board on whether or not I should buy it, I decided to take a gamble and go for it.
Story is, spotted it on a drive looking very sorry for itself, covered in moss, 4 flat tyres - turns out it has been stood for 4-5yrs......but now £500 later and its mine.....
Its a '91 Toyota Celica GT4 turbo import so its a widebody version, 127km on the clock so that about 70k in miles? and was imported in '98.
Extra's include, full stainless exhaust & a nice Momo steering wheel that looks to be a factory extra as its stamped with toyota....
Known issues,
Needs a new radiator,
some rot on the p/side door but very minimal
Both the sides of the car could do with being blown in as its weathered really badly after being stood for so long
4x new tyres as all the sidewalls are cracked
Brakes all round to be overhauled, hoping the calipers/discs will all free off/clean up ok
Drain the fuel out thats in it!! really don't fancy trying to start it with potentially 5yr old fuel.....
Now some pics,
Will update progress on this and add much better photo's ~ this needs to be done in a couple of weeks and then i'm off to do the 'ring in it if all goes to plan.....
