Finally; I am an FC owner.

Just went and picked up an FC today. The body has 220,000 miles on it, engine was swapped out at an earlier date, the owner I bought it from didn't know that much about it.

Needs a lot of work, new brakes, new front windshield, eventually new coils for the suspension, and sometime I'm going to be a rebuild kit.

I now have a money pit.

I paid $950 for it, they were asking $1,500, pics below.

Congrats on the new car! I've got vented rear disc's if you'd like to upgrade the rear brakes. I'm fairly sure I've also got 4 piston from brakes as well.

That would be great! But, if you're in Olympia I'm not sure if it will be cheaper to get it down here than to go get it, haha...

Thanks for the offer.

My old car was an Avalon, but now I'm switching to my new 7, and we are going to probably sell the Avalon within the next month or so.

What do you have? The Avalon or the Camry? Mine is the year that they actually bumped up the HP, so it's got 200 or so instead of the typical 190.

Good car, except it's old and wasn't taken care of right, so it has a lot of problems.

No big plans for it actually, however I am actually going to be fixing up my 86 GXL instead.
