Camry 1 lives on!!!!

[jwa276]

i was just surprised with an early b-day present when i came back from school today... instead of selling my car off, my parents decided to rebuild the top end!! so camry 1 will live on! my parents told me the toyota service dept said they thought they saw chocolate milk after opening up the block

i got the valves reseated w/ new valve seals, new gaskets, plugs, timing belt.

i plan to do a lot of resoration, including a full body repaint, new interior pieces, maybe some new audio stuff.... then i plan to get down and dirty with the engine, giving it some new 9:1 compression pistons and 10psi of positive manifold pressure wahhhhpshhh

its good to be back!!

Great news! Love to see another built Camry on the road And I must say you have great parents as well!

[CamryWhat?]

AWW SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH JON!!!

now with the money you were plannin on for the new car, you can do nice things with the camry...

to all who wonder why I couldnt buy jon's car...
I was planning on it, then my engine blew... SO i had to do something for that... i decided i'd swap in a 1mz and std tranny... so it all works out... once my car is running again...

lets schedule a crazy camry meet in Ohio this summer... i still wanna come out.
