Photobucket is weird. I lost/can't find some 2-3 months of pictures I've uploaded. but it still does appear on the forum in my old post...and cleared cache and tried on a brand new computer as well...wtf?? Can't access
Anyhow some pictures within the last year or so of my 1998.
I have meant to post a picture of my long beloved, but neglected, 2001 Camry LE 4 cyl. But my car had a lot of issues need to be attended to. So since I joined TN Feb of 2016, I devoted a lot of my spare time to fix it up. These are the items that I have completed so far
Items I repaired recently
1. Broken shifter cover
2. Broken sun visor
3. Broken rear cup holder
4. Broken trunk weatherstrip
5. Broken front grille
6. Glove box light always on
7. Broken door tweeter cover
8. Damaged battery terminals
9. Broken fuel vapor hose
10. Rear trunk lid replacement
11. Replaced the radiator, thermostat, upper and lower coolant hoses
12. Replaced spark plugs
13. Replaced front rotors and brake pads
14. Replaced rear driver side windows regulator w/ motor.
15. Replaced dilapidated windows weather strip on the rear driver side.
16. Replaced windshield (a mobile mechanic did this one.)
17. Valve cover gasket replacement
I also made a few upgrades
1. Add 4 mud guards
2. Changed thermostat housing to aluminum
3. Add a Solara strut brace
4. Got a set of 2004 Avalon wheels with almost new Yokohama 205 60 R16 tires, and OEM wheel lock
5. Installed the correct, large battery
And some services
1. Cleaned IACV and TB
2. Repaired broken/flaky alternator wire covers
Next step:
1. I shall try to do some PDR and basic body work.
2. I shall replace the front bumper
Repaint the car and having its body professionally repaired would be too expensive. I have to kiss-bye that idea.
Anyway, here is my car finally ready to make its debut on TN, after a quick wash and vacuum early in the morning.
And my super performance-oriented trunk cover
In case it is hard to see, you are looking at 'Toyota, Camry XLE, S-AWD, V6' copy. The very best that Camry has to offer :lol::rofl::rofl2::chug:
Saturday morning in a Belmont park. Love to see the car from a distance because it will look perfect.
Here is my 94 xle. 188,900 miles. Its a spare vehicle we bought in February. I daily drive a 07 corolla s 5speed and my wife drives a 05 sienna. Heres the camry. Has some issues but fixing them slowly hopefully for many years of service.
Here's my mom's car "The Grey Ghost", 5s-fe. Has only been given it bare minimum maintenance 245,000 mi., so I've put new tires on it, oil changes, car washes.
Took a road trip with the old girl 2 weeks ago. Drove from Fresno, CA to Denver, CO and spent a week there.
She made the trip up until re-entering California. The torque converter finally shuddered at 328,XXX miles.
Haha pretty sure the drive to the top of Pikes Peak was the killer, but it was always a dream of mines to drive this car to the top.
She made it and here are the photos from that drive.
The replacement tranny is on the way, so she'll be road worthy again soon.
Here is my beater 94 xle. Full leather interior and decent shape. Pulled whole interior and cleaned carpet really good. It mostly came clean. 190,500 miles. Wrapped trunk in carbon fiber and painted hood. Also wrapped center caps in carbon fiber and the grill.
