Newly broke. Heading to the junk yard to look for parts.
My old mustang used inch sockets, I am guessing the Celica need MM sockets?
Could someone post a quick what do you need in a tool kit for most repairs?
Is this a roadside repair kit or a tool kit for the garage? Just trying to see if space is an issue. A 3/8 metric ratchet set with a couple of extensions will take care of most things. Of course, a Phillips screwdriver is very handy as well. I seldom ever need a flathead screwdriver but it doesn't hurt to have one. A small pair of channel locks, crescent wrenches, metric end wrenches, a hammer, and a swear jar for all the dirty words you are destined to say when working on the car.

L-shaped screwdrivers are very much needed for rusted bolts. You might otherwise strip them.
I take a 1/4" socket for the different screw driver tips.
