The story goes...
had a beautiful 1989 Camry LE V6. Perfect shape mechanically and physically. Parked it on the street one night and POW, someone rammed the back end in.
Well the engine and trans were great, the car only had 140k on it, so we decided to cheap out and buy a new body to house the mechanicals.
We found an ES250. Sweet.
Engine ate a rod bearing, we found out. No battery. But it's here.
Good shape though!
Leaks like a pig...
Engine on its way out
And empty engine compartment
Replacement engine and trans
Engine and trans going in
Reassembled and ready to drive
New struts, springs, etc.
New rack
Time for the exterior restore project. Before:
A good wash, clay, (serious contaminant removal) and wax later, the car is brighter white:
Just gotta love a good shine!
that's all for now, folks... eventually there may be more. till then i leave you with this:
