thanks for the compliments guys! i'm on the hunt for a newly used steering wheel. these bad boys are tough to find.

j9fd3s, yes, its still a camry.. but it will go from 0-60 in 7.0 secs and run to a top speed to 136mph. not to bad for a family hauler from 92, lol. the car needs no apologies and it very pleasant to drive. its quick, reliable, and returns good mileage.

mymmeryloss, i did not paint the undercarriage because i intend on putting the car on the lift and using por 15 on it. this car is my winter car and what i drive when i'm working on the 7's.

Good resto!

The only thing better that the SE is the '96 2DR SE Sport!





This will get your blood pumping!

i ended up replacing the window regulator and i replaced the shift **** with an oem replacement **** as well. suprising ho a couple little things make the car so much nicer to drive. i'm still on the hunt for an oem replacement steering wheel. that would make my day to find!

I have to admit I did a double take at the name of this thread, but I opened it anyway. Glad I did. This is a nice restoration.

I drive an 02 Camry LE 2.4L on a daily basis and I really like the car. It has 197K on the clock and still runs great. A great handling car for what it is.....very well balanced.

Great job!

thank you! the car still needs a few things but has been a very reliable daily driver!! i'm glad you opened the thread. not really an inviting title i know, but in person, the car is really cool. its one of those, "must see to appreciate" cars.

Part inquiry

Ok I drive a 94 camry 5 speed and I'm trying to track down the snap ring for the cv axle that you have pictured over the toyota symbol on the motor. Would you be able to pull a part number from that or where you got it or what it's actual name is to help a camry brotha out?

IL Part inquiry

Hey back in 2011 you restored a 92 camry.

I need this part. Do you have a part number or anything that could help me locate it
