New from Oregon

Post by jango »

Hi I'm Rey from Tualatin Oregon, I had my 74 Celica GT since 1986. Its my 2nd car in the U.S. I purchase my Celica at the wrecking yard in Hood River for $700 with all the necessary parts to put it all togethere. It has a unique title. Instead of Celica or Salvage on the "Make and Model" the DMV put "ASMBLE" :screwy: I drove it for about 10 yrs and the rod starts knockin so i just park it in the garage for about 13yrs without doing anything to it. Now my 11yr old son showing interest in the celica ask me if he could have the car when he turn 16 so i made him a deal :idea: He started cleaning the car and he helped me pulled the motor out last weakend. Now coming accross this site gave me idea about putting an 18rg motor in it if i could find a reasonable price for one. Looks like this is a great place to start. I showed my son this site and he enjoy browsing it. Here are some of the pictures taken lately.,,,maybe not, :huh: Im trying to click Img but it doesn't do anything. HELP!!! :banghead2:
