*First couple posts have been copied from my local motorclub forum* I picked this celica up from platinum shift(was a customers car in the shop for a blown motor) somewhere around 2004-2005. I swapped the motor and got it on the road, drove it for a very brief period and then sold it to my mom a couple years later she over boosted and blew up the engine again. a new engine was put in (not by me), after this swap the car had many various issues and engine codes from turbo pressure sensor, knock sensor, water temp sensor, as well as none of the running lights or gauge cluster lights working and a nasty oil leak from the oil pump. At this point(late 2008) my parents moved to BC and did not want to bother with the headache of trying to repair everything and get the car through a safety they put it out at our farm to sit and rot, that pretty much is the entire history of the car that I know. Now for some pictures!

Back in the garage, extremely faded paint
