Nice to have another member on here from the Wasatch Front!There aren't many of us from around here, but there are a couple. We make fiberglass parts for all the Celicas so once you get one, we can supply you with what you need!

Yeah I read that post. It sounds like a good deal! You should take an extra set of hand with you to drive the gold one home, and just tow the white one. :2thumbs:

I posted a few more in the "guy from utah" thread I made. It drove decently, but it was terrifying. Especially leaving the previous owner's house it was raining very hard and traffic was packed, the windshield wipers were pretty weak plus I had windows down because it would not stop fogging up, I also had no side mirrors and lacked a seatbelt. Easily the most terrifying thing I've done.
