Scored a '97 Camry for $300.00

So I scored a '97 Camry for $300.00 with 149k. Only downside, there was a nice big hole in the block.
I have since already pulled the motor, and built a new one with parts my dad had (He is a Toyota MDT)
But have yet to install it. (No time) But thought you guys would enjoy some pics.

Here is a link to the pics:http://s45.photobucket.com/albums/f6...cartier/Camry/

I'll keep you guys updated as the project continues.

It sounds like you have a great DIY deal.
I actually got it from craigslist.

The lady I bought it from was recently divorced, and I think her ex did all the maintenence, hence the 3 holes.

I'd love to keep it, but the profit margin is just too great.

I'm gonna sell it to pay some bills.

But I am looking for a '99 LE V6 5spd with the split 5 spoke rims.

Nice one! I have a 97 (wide body shape) and got that for $3000. It was a reconditioned engine with a lot of things fixed that I done myself.
Car runs like new, she will last for at least another 4 years with proper TLC. Now my sis is like lets swap cars with her petrol guzzler 2007 ford 4x4

Man that's a great deal. I got my 93 Camry for only $1950, but I've gotta replace the clutch that's gonna cost me near a grand :-\ 162k miles on it. How much you think that car will sell for?
