I've been threw what you stated, and more. My first SR5 taught me how to work on cars. I've broken down more times than in all other cars in my life put together. After I spent paycheck after paycheck fixing it time and again, I realized I had 3k in a broken down SR5 with more problems on the way. I said screw it I'm done.... this might be the most fun I've ever had while driving a car but I can't do it anymore. I sold it for 500 USDM (I paid 500). I bought it back 3 days later and I still have it. Now I have a daily driver SR5 coupe and the hachie as a project car.

I'll never forget the positive batter cable. It was a 8 dollar part at the store..... but the people that had my corolla decided to tape it. The cable was broken in 5 places and the wires were twisted back together and duct taped. JB weld on the waterpump crack and weep hole, blown headgasket included, every major oil seal gone bad, poor compression, extreme blow by, alternator that was hungry for sliding batterys since there was nothing holding the batt in place. (It sucks driving on 10Volts since ur alternator tore a hole in one of ur cells). Cut springs that blow out tires after you jack the car up, hoses that explode without warning, 10mpg (no gas gauge), muffler that falls off, interior consists of two seats and steeringwheel.
