Greetings!

My name is Joe and I just bought a 1990 Camry DLX sedan with 178,600 miles. I got it for $350 via craigslist, advertised with a bad starter, running poorly and needing a new battery. When I got it home, I properly charged the battery (which does not need replacement,) changed out the plugs, wires, cap and rotor and cleaned the throttle body (runs beautifully) and replaced the starter. I have never before replaced a starter in 20 minutes! The body is pretty messed up with poorly-attempted bodywork and it needs tires, but I've already driven it 100 miles and it has been good to me so far.

First thing I plan to do after tires is replace the speakers and stereo head. It is still all OEM. Hopefully I can make something bigger than 5.25" drivers fit in the rear.

 

Welcome to CF.

Great job on getting the car running and smoothly!

 

After driving it around some today, I think the timing may be off. I'll play with that tomorrow.

 

Welcome to forums! Great deal on that car, especially if you know how to turn a wrench, and it sounds like you do.

 

Just wanted to say hello. I just acquired a 2014.5 SE. Hope to learn from this forum.

 

Welcome the forums! You can't go wrong with an SE! Congrats on the new ride.
