This is my 'new' GT-S. My last GT-S was an '89 so technically it was newer. My last GT-S lost a wheel on the interstate and bent the whole front of the car up. It was undrivable after that.

We parted it out, and it was really sad to watch it drive away on a tow truck. But a few months later my boyfriend was at the junkyard and spotted this. All it needed was a $10 distributor car to get it running (the old cap was cracked). And it needed a new hood and a new headlight.

These are the first pictures I have of it. I paid $300 for it. These pictures are after I spent about a week tracking down a red Corolla hood for $50. then I spent around $30 to repair the headlight.

The junkyard didnt get the keys to it, they were just going to crush it. So they popped out the key cylinder and we started the car for a few months with a screwdriver. We went to Toyota after we got the code off of the passenger door key cylinder, and I had a set of original keys made. My boyfriend has since put the key cylinder back in.

My Toyota collection.. I dont have the Celica anymore.

Near finished Pictures, It has some black rubber on the door that needs rubbed off. Other than that it is almost done.

It has more than 260,000 miles on it, and it doesnt burn or leak oil! It is every bit as fast as my MR2 with 70,000 miles.

Hard to beleive it used to sit in a junkyard, we didnt clean the engine bay at all!!!

Here are our cars, my boyfriend owns the red MR2.
