Well, although I've had plenty of fun, it's time to get rid of this thing for bigger and better (an all paw turbo celica for example)
Here's the basic run down.
1986 Celica SX ST162 (3S-GELC)
Completely reconditioned motor (sorry about receipts but I lost them a long time ago!) new camshaft, oil pump and crank seals (east and west) only thing missing is new crankshaft journal bearings and camshaft bearings (forgot about those). New piston rings, new big end bearings, new camshaft shims, re-seated valves, new valve-stem seals, new head gasket.
Okay, aside from that, new distributor cap, re-co distributor (old aluminium had cracked somehow, seems to be *VERY* common, every ST162 owner should check this), re-sealed power steering pump. Pretty much every gasket has been replaced at some stage or another.
Doesn't leak or use a bit of oil.
Only done 18000k since rebuild.
Exterior stuff : Completely BRAND new front Celica badge, and front skirt from Toyota, new rear brake/indicator lenses, new side indicator lenses (all cost a bucket load from toyota). Possible king springs on the front. 2 new Bridgestone RE711s on front, older RE711s on rear (still legal)...can't remember what state the spare is in 
Interior stuff : New parcel shelf with Sony XPlod 6x9s (3 way), Sony XPlod head unit, Sony XPlod 4inch (2-way) front speakers in factory mount.
Downfalls (I know, I shouldn't say these but I figure I'll be honest with you guys) - 2nd gear synchro is worn (a common ailment that I never got around to fixing), slight surface rust near wheel arches, probably could use a respray if you are fussy as there is some evidence of previous dodgy spray work, it seems like the front end has been pushed in a bit at one stage, it looks a shade crude in the engine bay but externally it matches up fine and doesn't affect anything mechanically. Still runs slightly rich (but not power-sappingly so).
Will sell as is for $5500, or I will fix up some paint work and interior discrepancies and chuck in a pair of GT4 twin spot calipers and sell for $6000.
I will post some pics of what it looks like in the members rides section (see my sig for a link).
Despite all I say about it being a piece of crap, you can drive for yourself and find out that it is a wonderful piece of motor vehicle. Just a shame I got bitten by the turbo all-paw bug before I could do the '5S-GE'...(if anyone wants to follow up on that project I still have the 5S crank and various bits lying around that I've cleaned up, will part with for a negotiable price)
