New Celica

[sheep]

Just bout a New-to-me 91 celica GT, so far its been a pretty good car, good MPG and the body is pretty clean but it does have its share of problems which i am fixing slowly as i go from pay check to pay check, some of the bigger problems are going to take a little while tho and i have a couple of quesitons

it leaks oil, more then my previous 2 cars that have been older then this but i was wondering if anyone had an idea of how much its going to cost to get the seals redone.

the motor mounts are going bad also, iv been told that one of them can only be replaced if you lift the motor out, is this true? and if anyone knows how much that is going to cost if i get it done by a mechanic that would be cool too

and i think this is the last question lol the driver side headlight motor doesnt work, which isnt a huge deal but it kinda bugs me but how hard is this to do myself?

thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure the one that require you to lift the motor is the rear one. but thats not necessary. u can just unbolt the steering rack, which is easy, and get the rear mount out

ok sweet, was hoping i was going to be able to do this with myself and maybe a friend, i dont have the tools or the time really to pull the motor out and dont want to pay the stealership to do it, thanks!

First thing, the car is 16 years old. The stealership knows less about it then your average joe blow mechanic. But they'll sure charge you as if they're experts!

yeah i figured as much, i was going to talk to my friends mechanic and see what he would do it for, and see how much he would fix the leaks for too, from what i can tell he does pretty good work he has done a motor and axle swap on my friends car and everything still seems to be running great so i think i can trust him
