Martin, your right, The outside of the car is amazing, no rust , just at the bottom a bit. for a 15 year old car its in pretty good shape. my dads mechanic said that one of the cylinders isnt working..he compression tested it or some crap.

My brother is telling me to keep it as well..

Since my dad has a mechanic shop i can get a engine and tranny pretty cheap.

Is a JDM camry engine.. 2.0 litre, 5sfe faster then the 2.2 it has now?
I think i should just fix it i dont know, ill take pics sometime this week.

So for the engine and rust at the bottom i can hopefully get fixed, but if it looks like it will cost to much i won't. The major thing thats turning me off about selling it, is that..theres no car i want to buy. no american cars, dont want a honda.
I can buy a new car easily because i have a lot saved up, its just that insurance rapes people up the ass. I think i know what the audio problem is its just that i always have school or work which gives me almost no time to work on it, i took the door cover off and the speaker was all ripped and stuff, but it should still vibrate or something , but no sound. I think its just not connected to the cd player properly.

i want to buy some 8 inch door speakers but there hard to find...i might have to get 6's and put a bracket or something, then rewire it.

If i fix this car im guessing it would last a looong time.

sorry that theres no pics up yet..really busy, ill try and get some up here on monday or tuesday and martin, you can tell me if i should keep it or not in your opinion.
