I cant believe your just blowing off the rust issue and still spending money on performance parts....

Rust is eating your car away. Is not as bad as it looks because you cannot look beyond the undercoating.

before continuing on that car, please remove the old undercoating and do an inspection of the affected area, sanblast it and then recover it before its too late.

torque and HP will tear that tower apart..

ouch! sounds like a lot of the guys here on the forums are looking out for you. I've never seen rust like that before. These guys who are worning you about the rust know a thing or two about our cars. They have been here for many many years. Sucks to see your car falling apart like that

Get a new shell seriously. It will be the smartest thing you ever do. I'm from New York the Salt King State and I know first hand the impact rust has on a vehicle. You will be fighting that rust every time you work on that car. If the body looks like that you can believe every bolt is siezed beyond removal. That equals snapping bolts and spending hours drilling and retapping. I can gurantee when you go to replace brakes you will snap both bolts off in the calipers, that means drill and tap (pain) or new calipers. It will be much more economical to start looking for a clean shell now or face the numerious repair costs in the future. I know this hurts because its like your child, but its brain dead and on life support....pull the plug.

True words. Rust = cancer. you can replace a celica body, though. So do it before its too late.

Not trying to say the car is crap or anything but I know how rust is and it sucks in everyway. If you can fix it then thats great but I would just look for another shell.

LONG TIME NO UPDATE BUT WHO CARES HAHAHA !

i change my steering wheel assembly today for the st205 one, (99.9% the same as the st204) the only difference is the nice soft clic sound of the light and flasher stick....lol

i did lost my oil pressure, so before try starting it again to check it out, i check the oil level and its was empty as hell !! so i put back at least 3 liter in the engine and hoping it was not dead, car start back whit a little tuff tuff and when perfect, and i see my oil pressure get up to 65 again, i was soo happy !! and then i saw a big drip of oil under the right wheel, checking it, and cannot see where it drop like a fountain when on, so i start it again and it was the f*** oil filter!! quaker states one i think, broken on the middle ....
tommorow, will be new front right caliper and new rubber for front right axle and i need the st205 engine mouth, but for now, i use a chain under the car to maintain the struggle of the faulty engine mouth.
