I own a 1990 Toyota Celica AllTrac Turbo that I bought close to a year ago that I would like to get running now that I have the time and (some) money . My car does NOT run at the moment due to the abuse the previous owner put it through. Hillybilly's + Alltrac + 10 acres = you get the point. Essentially i'm posting on the new member thread because I want access to the vast amount of information this website holds, but I also have some questions maybe some of you could answer for me (please) lol.
I've taken a look or 15 and repaired some things on the car like the fuel tank and oil pan because they were leaking. The radiator and fan looked like it came off an old Mazda truck and upon removing it and the hoses, there was red Georgia clay ALL UP IN THAT THANG. That's not the only thing keeping this car from running either. Wiring looks like dog shit with strands of hay in it, and there's various bolts and brackets missing from the motor (shade tree at it's finest). No rust and a clean interior and body are what keep my future dreams or race car-ing alive. I bought the car not because of how it ran, but the potential I saw in it.
Finally, the questions.
1. Should I just rebuild this mess of a 3S-GTE?
2. Where should I start building if I wanted to replace stock parts on the motor with performance parts? I have plenty of time to do all the work, but i'll have to buy these items part-by-part and do a lot of unbolting old and bolting on new.
3.If any of you have a good parts website that I can browse for parts that you wouldn't mind sharing, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Josh.
