Bye Bye Cameron 1.....Come Home to Daddy Cameron 2!!!!! Pics

[jtex2717]

Hey Guys.....So I have been out of the Camry game for about 3 moths now....I had an unfortunate accident happen to my Green 96 Coupe back in April. Lets just say.....Burnouts in the rain + auto tranny + new tires = Broken Tranny......then after I was going to pay the $800 for the fix.....I came home one day and lets just say.....Grandfather + His work truck + drinking at 3pm + Reversing Work Truck = A super damaged front end.....So....being depressed, with a broken car.....I have been researching new applications to restart my modding. I looked at some MR2s....a little pricey....then I looked at some S13s.....a little pricey.....Then....Last week I stumbled upon an old love that is two cylinders shy of greatness.....I found another, Green, 96 Coupe, except this time.....she has the 5speed tranny that I have been looking for for about 2 years now......So I immediately requested a price.....I talked the guy from $1200 to $500 in about 2 days. The only fixes are the exhaust and the a/c needs to b recharged.....The car only has 10k miles more than mine and other than a few rust spots on the hood and trunk.....the body is perfect.....She will be picked up this friday.......Now for a month of part swapping.....Here are the old Cameron and New Cameron Pics.....Enjoy

Exactly Bird......I thought the same thing.....Now I can actually put the wheels on and drop it because I dont have to worry about a swap.....


And yes....that is 179k for milage....my slush box has 169K.....

idk....one day i went to go drive it and it was just slamming really hard.....everytime i would turn....it would slam....at first i thought i was a broken axle....so i replaced the drivers axle....not fixed....then i replaced the passengers axle....4 hours of pulling and twisting and removing motor mounts i got it out and then a huge blow torch and a sledge hammer later i got the axle bearing out the motor mount and replaced it.....nothing....i changed the tranny and diff fluid.....nothing.....so i said eff it....i need a new tranny.....so two brand new auto axles, new rotors, pads, and fluid.....and the damn thing is still broken....now i have rusty rotors on the car with not even one mile on them.....fml
