Untimely dead ... ;( - Toyota Celica, 1.6 liter, 1991
I thought for a long time where to start the BZ and decided to start it with a note dedicated to the one that instilled in me love for Celica.
It was a beast produced in 1980 in the back of RA 40, red … We got it "foolishly" and neither I, nor my girlfriend, nor the former owner seems to have suspected what a miracle it was.
Absolutely not rotten, almost trouble-free, half assembled from spare parts from unknown donors, she always helped out. She was strong, independent, with character, in general, a Dragon with a capital letter! We drove it wherever possible, picking mushrooms, picking mushrooms, going to the river, to the river, off-road, off-road, she endured everything. We practically didn’t care about it, we washed it once a year and then according to the promise, we also didn’t really suffer with spare parts - a good half of VAZ products were included there. And on one awful day, it all ended. We were driving from a secondary road to the Kaluga-Tula highway when a "twin" flew into us ... We were taken away from there on a tow truck, as well as a VAZ, but the "twin" was not subject to restoration at all ...
Then in our backcountry "Seliks" were sooooo rare birds, there was almost no normal Internet at all ... then I would have known that a couple of years would pass and everything would be so simple - just find like-minded selikavodov, just order spare parts, just find a donor body and everything would have turned out differently ;(
Guessing whether to restore or not stretched out for almost a year, and all this time she stood in an open parking lot in one of the districts of our city and dutifully waited for the decision of her fate, the decision of people who did not understand what she was real ...
Stupid people wrote off it for scrap, because it seemed to them inexpedient and unprofitable to restore it, and during the time of storage in the parking lot, almost everything that could be removed was removed from it ...
When normal Internet access appeared, I was shocked - everything is so simple ... I still scold myself and curse with my last words for ruining such a car. After all, the damage was not fatal - people resurrect not such dead people, but we scrapped the one that gave me a feeling of flight, freedom and self-confidence!
I tried to drive and ride on many cars, but none of them gave me the feeling of driving a car, she helped me overcome my fear of the road and other cars. I was burning with the dream to manage the Celica, now the dream has come true - my little dragon is with me. I don’t torment him, I treat him with care and concern, I try to please him, I always remember what they did with that very first ;(
PS Sorry for the photo of disgusting quality, but the others simply did not survive

The yellow brace under the hood on 12k says a lot ...
what is she talking about?
She suffered more due to the fact that she and the stop were not weakly applied (just a stop on the other side of the road is not visible in the photo). The speed of the "dvenashka" exceeded 120 km / h, and there is far from the autobahn, and the driver of the 12th simply did not see us - he turned away and talked to the passenger ... I regret Selick, the owner of the 12th probably also regretted his …
12 like on the main ride? then what's with the yellow spacer? Yes, and she suffered more only because of the coup
The most interesting thing is that not young people were already in the "dvenashka" ... the most important and surprising thing at that time was that absolutely everyone got off with minor bruises and a strong fright;)
I almost never drive 120, the exception is an empty track with bumpers at night, and then very rarely - I’m not a suicide) I don’t know, fortunately or unfortunately, but we had three witnesses that we missed the flow, it was they who saw the accident in the rear-view mirrors stopped and called all the necessary services. There, the zone of the settlement and the speed exceeded by 2 times is not an excuse ... It's not about who is to blame for the accident, but about how sorry the car is ...
those. he is to blame for turning away, and you are not to blame for not letting him through? and you might think you yourself did not go 120?
wow you are a fucking bastard! it is enough to see the photo to understand everything without words
Sad fact, but very instructive! How lucky you are, I think you understand… Please be careful on the roads!
well, I think that 120 is far from the limit for Russians ... but you need to follow the road, and it’s a pity for the car ((whatever it is, but for each car owner its own car is a swallow)
Be careful comrades on the roads!
Insanely sorry, and most importantly, antiques were more alive than all the living; (
I also once said goodbye to my love ... I went to the world of Inna (I'll post a photo later. Then I bought the whole thing and I'm very happy) a good car.)
you can find something like this, but they are usually in a terrible state and, as a rule, there are already a lot of collective farms.
although this also happens.

dude did a good job on it.
I’ll ask, in general, she and her husband themselves do not leave hope of finding such a rarity, but I’ll definitely ask;)
oh, do you still need them? And then we have the owners of these Selicks in the club, I think they will be very happy with such books))
Unfortunately, I also have only memories of her ;( But my friend still has two books from her ;)
Yes ... 40th Selick, and even left-hand drive. right now you will find such a fic ... it's a pity. I had a chance to ride one like this. still fond memories...
To be honest, for some reason, I sincerely do not want such cars to be sold;) There are so many "riders" around. My Dragon was lucky - she had calm, caring owners, I got a jaunty one;)
Damn, I forgot to ask, I'll definitely call tomorrow, especially since I'll get better to go to them with a battery;) Don't you sell yours already?
So what's with the books?) I would buy, such cars are sold until recently, a friend sold his for 80 in a very good condition.
how familiar is the situation with the accident ... I attached my first one in a similar way (
yes I understand. . much easier now. . .one way or another, the world's trash is at hand - the Internet)
Then the years were not the same; (
It was not so much about the tin, but about the spare parts!
Well, yes, no doubt it was possible to restore. . and if the tinsmiths are good, they wouldn’t even distinguish
Well, what can you do, it's your own fault, you didn't give in. .be careful, otherwise you can pay not only with the life of your beloved car. . but also his...
