At first tapping the starter motor while starting the engine was enuff, Then we realised it was the battery, only to find that there were a million other things wrong with it. With 5 accidents under its bumper and 17 good years on the road, my father thinks its finally time we get rid of the rolla !
I dunno if i can let go of it so soon! Its not like im throwing away a piece of junk. My lil corolla seca has been like a friend to me. Now for those of u who can actually understand the pain im going through ... help me ... where can i take my lil baby to get him fixed for good. Is it 2 late for him ?
Can u recommend any toyota smash repairs that wont make a dent in my bank account the size of the one on the back of my car ??
help me ppl , im desperate ! oh and plus, i cant afford a new car anyway !

i understand your pain..eheh  ...ive been into a a few accidents as well...itd be so much easier to do an insurance job on my car.but i but i keep fixing my car..
just source parts that are easily replacable, e.g if your hatch is damaged..just get another one and swap it..and the parts/sections of your car that you cant replace go to a smash repair joint and have them fix it up when you can..much cheaper than having them fix everything..
or just drive around with an ugly car if its still road worthy

You see the body is OK, not good, just OK. I mean its got bumps and dents and plenty of rust and it REALLY needs a paint job coz the bumber and the doors and the roof r all different colours ( I know, I know.. and YES it looks as ridiculous as it sounds) but anyway its more whats on the inside that counts. Its the starter motor, the blinkers are fudged, the battery needs changing, i need a new radio and about a million other things, if u can help me out with what iv listed then ur godsent !
its driving me nuts ! im thinking perhaps dads decision to chuck it wasnt so bad after all .. 
what do u ppl think, and yeah its a hatchback, 85 model, and its blue ( well some parts are ).
cioa ppl !

I know exactly what ur going through Angelic....
Firsst my headlights sshone brown instead of white, my radiator kept popping on regular occasions, i fouled plugs on a daily basis, and lots more sshit went wrong with my blue celica. But i still love it, and even tho i now have a new car, i still cant let it go...
but the point is i still went and bought a new car 
Sorry to break it to you but whatever u repair now will most likely bust again in the near future.... nothing u can really do, theyre just old cars =/
Cheers
