    Celica 2.0 GT Gen 6
    I've had my Celica since 2015. Used it daily for a couple of years and put 10k on it.
    Then, in 2017 the MoT...
    Failed. Needed welding.
    I was about to start doing 15k+ miles a year so decided to get something else for that rather than put all the mileage on the Celica.
    So, I decided to let Cecil have a sleep in my garage with a cover on it. Nice and dry at least and out of the sun / ice / bits of tree or whatever the weather might have thrown at it.
    Thought about selling it but it's worth nothing without an MoT and I would rather keep it anyway.
    Kept it on a maintenance battery charger and I started the engine from time to time. Started and idled perfectly every time.
    Four years flew by and I decided during the summer of 2021 to get Cecil back on the road. Follow my updates to see how I got on...

    Coolant bottle cleaning. After soaking it in white spirit overnight, rinsed it out. Put sharp sand in and did a whole load of shaking. Found some 10mm gravel and added that in and spent a long time shaking. Then shaking some more. Emptied it out. Rinsed it out with the hose then put the sand and gravel back in. More shaking. Think I might make a good cocktail shaker! Arms wrecked though. Emptied it out again. Rinsed it out with the hose again. Washed it out with hot water and washing up liquid then left it to soak overnight with fresh washing up liquid and hot water. Rinsed it out again this evening. What a transformation. Couple of very small areas I just couldn't get clean but a massive improvement. Almost 100%. And I'll be able to see the coolant level through the bottle. Yay! Ready to go back in the car. Super long life coolant has arrived. New Thermostat has arrived too although I haven't opened the box yet. Hope its the right size. I got a couple of new hose clips too. Not sure when I'll put it back together. Might be the weekend.
