i am willing to put funds into this car to breathe life back into it but im drawn back at the mileage. she's got 167,000 on it...but the trannys been replaced around the 120 mark...i dunno..it wasnt me. i was just wondering how many miles you guys've got in your cars. im in the process of fixing any imperfections in the car and wanna know if its worth it to go on.
yeah i feel ya. the stupid bitch that previously owned this car took no care of this car. when we bought it, there was water underneath the spare tire. thats just one thing. well this was my fathers car and he put a nice amount of money into it restoring it. now its my go and the car is tickin' nicely. thanx for the input dax.
It depends what you want. Don't bother if you're looking to get value from it. If you just want the pleasure, I'd say any rust free example in decent mechanical condition is worth the effort. Mine has about 90000 (152000km).
well i have no idea how water got there when i got it, but ever since me and pops cleaned it out, theres never been water in there again.
oh and just so i don't have to start another post, my targa is leaking at the front corners of the roof. do i need the special toyota weatherstrips, or is there an alternative? me dad tryed fixin' it his way by pumpin it full of silicone and shit, but you cant use it as a targa that way, oh and it still didnt help.

Silicone is the common alternative to buying new Toyota seals, however, if that failed, looks like it's time for some new seals for you.

Who came up with this 500px wide BS?
dunno, the whole damn dash was taken out. So i guess i can pick whatever mileage i want. I got some work to do on it though but that's the least of my worries, is the interior.
That is the last milleage reading for the car since shortly after that everything was swapped to a GTE setup including the gauge cluster. That reading was 10 years ago so I would imagine it would be more in the range of 300 000miles now. But since I got it last spring, every part on the car has been taken off and replaced/upgraded.
