Celica owner for 12 hrs.

Hi All, My name is Paul.
Buddy of mine IM'd me at work yesterday and offered a 90 ST he had. The wife was making him get rid of some 'junk' cars, so for the price of a six pack of Sam Adams, I aquired the car.

Needs some work, but nothing too major. Tune up, brakes, front struts and he think it has a broken spring on the right front. Exhaust manifold (probably just gasket though).

Going to have it towed today and get it into my garage so I can see what's realy going on. This is going to be my DD so I can park my Bronco and save about 2/3 of my gas budget every month :-)

Open to suggestions, what to watch out for and minor (tight budget) upgrades. Want to keep it as reliable year round transportation, probably will be handed down to my 12 yr old daughter or one of my gf's kids in 3 years or so.

Where are some good online parts sources you've all used?

Looking forward to getting to know everyone and learn from you.

Paul
