Things we fixed over the 10 months of repairs New timing belt fixed Transmission leak power steering works again ( all new steering rack ) New water pump removed non functional Air conditioning system replaced all fluids painted a lot of the Black moldings black again New wiper blades power washed engine bay Things left to do: clean the inside of the car out again new motor for passenger side rear window ( it's very weak ) The overdrive seems to not be functioning even though the light comes on and off Oil leak fix scratches dents and chips which in pictures seems fine but if you look closely it has a lot of little scratches dings and chips get new console cover get new passenger side locking switch cover fix exhaust leak ( already located ) I think it sounds better loud reverse lights dont work A bunch left to do, you're never really finished with a celica though are you
The timing belt blew again last night, at least i think, my dad was coasting it down a hill and it just quit. :banghead we might get a mechanic or someone who knows more about those systems to look at it, twice in a thousand miles guys, i dont know we haven't actually popped the cover off yet so it could be something silly, but it most likely wont be working for awhile AGAIN! In other news my dad bought a 1966 Chrysler 300 for 500$ the guy must have been stoned of his ass to sell this beautiful car for that dirt cheap price Amazing inside and out, almost no Rust, took only a couple days to get it running, still needs brakework Still, I hope to get my Celica fixed in under ten months this time!
I figured it out, when we put it back together last time, we didnt tighten the tensioner all the way down, and since my last post the Alternator went bad out of the blue, the battery died during the fourth of july parade i was in, how embarassing, we had to jump it 5 times on the way home but it's in good working order now, i drove it 250 miles last week on vacation without issue
There are a couple things you guys might know better that need attention, the first being that when you click the left turn signal all the way down the signal stops flashing and a loud sort of high pitched noise comes from behind the steering wheel, however if you hold left down half way it works as long as you dont click it down, and what is even wierder is the right works perfectly Anyone have a diagnosis, i already checked and both turn signal bulbs are functioning, i'll upload a video later and link it
