I thought I would move this out of the Intro section and into the project area since, well, its quite a project.
End of last year i picked up this 88 Celica Alltrac, drove it to see The Hobbit with my GF, ended up leaving the movie and the taillights and dash wouldnt light up. Fast forward past a useless mechanic who only managed to find the issue, melt my sun roof switch area and empty my tank of fuel; I find my headlight relay blows if the headlights are on too long (30mins) due to some form of a heat issue. My HVAC control panel was on its last leg as the PO knew and relayed to me, but he had picked up an extra control panel to replace it; needless to say it wouldnt fit the current wire harness due to being from a different model celica. :bangshead:
Fast forward again to today; The car is currently sitting at my girls parents house with yet another blown relay with condensation on all the interior windows, and one of the members from this site is helping me out with a new HVAC panel.
As I stated earlier I moved this here, in hopes that you guys can help me get this car back in running order so I can sell my bad investment of a car (09 lancer) and save a few hundred a month.
Thank you for any input ahead of time, and I hope this car is only uphill from here.
