hello from southern nm
« on: Dec 07, 2017, 02:18:46 pm »
I just bought a 85' gt hatchback. Bodys super straight, dry, rust free NM car. It's got 230k but seems to have had fairly thorough maintenance for the majority of it's life. In the process of figuring out why it's not getting spark, trying not to get to excited until I can get it running to see what I've got. Best part is that I got it for $300.
I'll post some pics in the next few days.

Welcome to the forums! $300 is a steal if the body is rust free and the car is complete, running or not. Post in the help section about your issues with detail description, the lot on here are pretty knowledgeable.

Great to know there's another Celica soon rolling around NM! Soo jealous that you're rust free... mine spent most of it's life in CO springs and had some cancer under the fender fares and spread around seams of wheel wells  :crying: Am hoping that undercoating will stop the spread, I love north part of the state, but wish it wasn't the 'rust belt' of NM.
looking forward to the pics

hey quick, dumb, question I'm not having any luck finding the answer to. To post photos, I used to use photobucket for forum picture posting. It looks like they're charging for that service now.

Is there a decent third party photo hosting free anywhere.

Or... I just started using google photo. Is there any way to link photos from there directly?

Google photos work, but you have to put them into a shared public album. The other alternative is something like imgur.com.
