Hopefully this will be a useful contribution for those having problems with their power seat switch. Given the insane amount of money I've already spent restoring Gumji, I've precious little left for the remaining repairs/parts so I need to allocate it judiciously. The main problem I've been...

UPDATE! Mad props to John Nouri and his crew (thx Alex, Chris and apologies to anyone I might have missed) at Broadway Perfromance for all the hard work in restoring Gumji!! Mechanically, she is as rock solid as I can recall and drives beautifully. The engine is super smooth and passed a...

Keylan, What can I possibly say that hasn't already been said? Kudos to you and your dad on this project! Simply awesome!! Tim

Stopped by John today as he has made some progress, however, they can't get her started. They initially thought it might be due to the alarm (Alpine SEA-8081) but this alarm only came with a starter relay cut off and not a fuel or ignition cut off. Given that the starter cranks, they now think...

She's in excellent shape. Very nice pick up, congrats!

Finally got around to cleaning her up and organizing the parts a bit. Have towed her to John @ BP today but after some initial discussions, sounds like I have a major repair bill ahead. According to John, it's about a month's worth of work. He'll call to give me a quote tomorrow. Looks like...

Hi all, Sorry for the lack of updates, have just been so swamped with many obligations. Given that, I haven't made much progress on Gumji. I did manage to get both front seats cleaned up: (passenger seat) I'm very glad whatever dirt was on the yellow piping came out during the cleaning. I...

Considering we finally just got over the fact that the car is sitting in our garage and not in "The name that shall not be uttered for we nearly spit blood every time we think of that F@#$@#!!!"'s shop, I'd actually care not to discuss it lest I keel over from high blood pressure. :icon_evil...

Well, not so certain about which way to go with the repairs now. As much as I'm dying to get the car up and running there's a certain satisfaction to repairing this on my own (accepting and realizing my limitations that is...). The only thing I'm not familiar with is bleeding brakes but I've...

LOL!!! Man, you're right!! Gas was only about a buck at that time... :biglaugh: sigh... sure wish that still was the case... :3d_frown: And thanks for the offer of assist, I'll definitely ping you if I need help.

Thx for the well wishes everyone and yeah, it actually isn't as bad I had initially thought. It's certainly peanuts compared to Keylan's project (can't wait to see his car up and running!). As for a time capsule, funny you should mention that. I found a receipt in the car dated about a...

Thx for the support guys and EMAN, thx for the referral. Spoke to John and I feel assured that Gumji will be in good hands. Here are the pics... Day she came back with 1999 registration sticker still on (has been in shop since 8/9/1999)...

That's the total amount of time Gumji (gum-gee, '95 Supra TT) was kept in captivitiy by a negligent body shop who was supposed to "repair" her (this is a real long story and warrants its own thread). When we first got her back, she was such a wreck and was basically in various stages of...
