83 rustica gt
« on: Sep 24, 2018, 05:02:54 pm »
Hey whats up just picked up what i thought was a score! 83 celica with re-upholsterd seats and carpet. Turns out the driveshaft was a onepiece with u joints that didnt fit and it started vibrating. Already got a custom new one for 400. Now im taking the rear bumper off and snapped all the rusted bolts holding it inside trunk.. theres rust EVERYWHERE! took the carpet out the trunk...holes in the spare wheel bowl!  :crying: rust around the weather stripping and decided to remove the window trims and what do you know? More rust! So i decided to move on to the engine. It started skipping around 6000 rpm so i checked the pulley and the main pulley bolt is stripped. Fml...the seats are from a celica supra i believe because the seat has a side knob adjuster that hits the side door panel like it doesnt belong there..but here i am excited to see how this turns out! Thanks for the dope ass forum! Has helped out so much in this long process of restoring a dragon. Sorry for all the crybaby whining  :heh:

Welcome to the forum.  There's a bunch of great info here if can get used to the quirks of the search function.  If you can't find something though, don't be afraid to ask :)
