too late. ive already bought its replacement.
its annoyed me. pure and simple.
if i kept it id put the 3sge engine back in, so id need a exhaust (al least a manifold and link pipe) a alternator and a engine loom.
this will be more cost and then because of the paint problems (which i dont have the time or inclination to resolve, again) it still will be only worth £7-800.
its time to stop throwing good money after bad and to let someone else have the headache.
having said that, if the low mile camry on ebay with a gearbox issue was less than 500 miles away i would have bought it and given it another go.
