If only you had a giant rotisserie and could just flip the car over, then wouldn't have to pull the engine.

So update.... Not as big of an update as I thought it would be
But the 1mz is running great....but it will only go in certain gears.
I think its got something to do with the fact its in here biggrin.gif


98 Toyota avalon
Picked it up for 470 after towing it. Has 157,000 an had just had the maintenance done since it was bought for there daughter for college an she drove it 4 months an some deer desided it wanted to be a hood ornament.
Kinda feel bad cuz the car not only ran good but it drove great!!
Drove it 2 mile from my buddys shop to my house. No problems at all.
Can't wait to have it in the celica.......an now I got everything for another v6 swap maybe wink.gif

2001 Celica GT-S Turbo1997 Supra TT 6speed1997 Celica 3MZ/1MZ swap1990 Celica All-Trac
Swapping my harness intake an clutch over to this motor
I wasn't looking to buy another motor but for 370 bucks for the whole car was just too good a deal to pass up
Once I swap everything it should work just like it did before
so its just gonna take time at this point

So finally a day where Kurt and I get out of the house just the 2 of us we take the blue Celi. Well we got a kid honking his horn to roll down the window. He said he loves the car. So I looked at Kurt and said ha now you know I have good taste cause I picked the car and the body kit and everything he's just lucky he wanted a celi. But that's our first time ever having someone do that

after


Since you removed the adhesive with the 100% acetone nail polish remover. How does it look like now? Does it still look nice and black or is it breaking apart since the adhesive isn't there to hold it all together.

Good to know. Mine looks like how yours use to look like right now. Going to try it out when I get back home in a couple weeks. Lol. You should start working on it again. Your thread is actually making me want to do a 1mz swap if I was to ever do an engine swap in my GT.
