My 1987 celica (Iceland) LOTS of pictures

I just want my cars to look good and sometimes that means spending a little cash

nope, It has none of those.

I didn´t swap the rings but I swapt all seals and gaskets in the engine.
the 3rd gear was fine and I replaced the syncro for the 5th gear. The bearings were all in stock exept one witch I specially ordered
and the bearing cost alone was about EUR 680.
I ordered the outer CV joints on ebay but they didn´t fit (I think the USA type has A different CV joints than the European type)
I´m looking for th right joints and I´ll take pics when I´ll change them.
This was the only picture I took when we changed the wheel bearing but I have to change one of the hub an I bought a kit with bearing
so I´m gonna replace all that when I get the right CV joints and I´ll take pictures of that

My rear brakes work fine I just put the car on a brake tester, when I took those pictures the car hadn´t been driven in about 2-3 months so the discs had started to rust a bit but it came right of when I started to drive it again.

 

Yeah it´s expensive but it´s new so I don´t have to worry about it any time soon.
and those are the full prices for the bearings before I get my Toyota employee discount

 

update.
here we are installing the tailpipe after we finished the engine.



I didn´t like the old viper arms where you have to use screws to put the viper blades on.
I wanted the clip on blades so I got arms from a corolla and used them to change the original arms.






then i got neoform viperblades, they work so mutch better.


and now back to the rust






















there was a little crack in the windshield and I wanted to know if there was any rust under it so I replaced it.



and of course we found alot of rust









At this point there was not mutch left to do.
more pictures soon

 

I didn´t see anything but I´ll definetly check that again. Thanks

The head on my engine is a 11111-88381

 

thanks for the good news. this goes on the to do list
those pictures are great.

no, I haven´t found it yet but I won´t stop searching until I find it.

 

Thanks man
It was a bit difficult to fix the rust for the hatch rubber. fortunatley my brother Is a realy good welder and fabricator
so it wasn´t to mutch of a problem, it just took a little time.
I saw the hole in the floor right after I bought the car and we went right away to fix it, I never took any passengers in the car
until it was fixed. I didn´t want any passenger to think they were riding with the flintstones

I´m currently looking over the last bunch of my pictures so I´ll post them pretty soon..

 

It´s pretty close, but I think that in my mind the car will never be finished.
this car is bound to be my project for life
I have alot of Ideas that I want to do. for example, I really want to have it resprayed but it´s crazy expensive to
have a car fully painted in Iceland.
how mutch would it cost to do it where you guys are? (just want to compare)
I have never prepared a car for paint so if I would just show up whith a car and do nothing myself it would cost about
EUR 4.500 - 5.500 depending what shop I go to and if they have to fix any dents or rust. but if I would prepare it, it would be around EUR 1.600 - 2.500.
that´s pretty steap...

 

that´s what I thougt. It´s tough to live in a little country and restore a car.
but one day It will be painted. I´ll have to try to use my connections for working for a car dealership
