This camry was in my family since new. It was given to me by my aunt in less than perfect condition. I decided to restore it to its former glory, drove it for a year, and ultimately sold it for something a little newer

Great improvement! I have been working on two Camry 98 and 99. I am surprised the timing belt could last so long on yours as ours lasted 150K miles each. Other components I found need replacements for comfortable ride are literally anything rubber / joint / spring related: sway bar links / bushings, lower control arms, ball joints, and struts.

The struts on this particular car believe it or not were not leaking. I usually don’t replace struts until they start to leak. I did have to put a set of end links on this along with front sway bar bushings, but I unfortunately didn’t get photos of that when I did them. Ball joints and tie rod ends were still nice and tight along with front control arm bushings

I’m so jealous, I want to do this to my wife’s 2002 XLE! Looks amazing, can I ask how much you ended up investing into the car to get it fixed up like this?

I got the car for free, so I had no issue dumping some money into it. I also put new tires on the car (not in the video) body work was around 3000 with the bumpers. I’m a mechanic so I did all the labor on making the mechanical repairs so I probably put around 1000 in parts on the car including tires. Drove it for a year and sold for 4200

Where did you get the bumpers? I’m looking to replace my stock bumper with fog lights too, as well as the back one.

I worked for a dealership at the time that had a body shop so I had them do it. They usually don’t do this kind of thing
