Exactly like my childhood Camry, same color. My dad got it up to I think around 300k miles, it was in the high 200s if not. I remember taking many naps in it haha. I bought a 1999 recently to relive the nostalgia! It's like a time machine.
That’s very cool. As I’m sure you know, these cars are still very visible on the roads today. I think that speaks to the build quality and ownership of these cars. People loved these cars and there is still a huge following over 20 years later. It’s a great group to be a part of.
Yeah. So far the car has done exceptionally well, even with the few mechanical issues still needing fixed. Now that it's cleaned up, she is really enjoying it.
I just got my first car, a 2003 Camry LE. I love it so much! I started watching this series to get to know my car better to take care of her. Love this, thank you!
That's awesome! Yes, they are great cars. Kamilla and I are planning to put out some more videos on the Camry shortly. Is there anything particular that you are interested in seeing? Thanks!!
Ok. Definitely will be doing some of those. Also, in episode one we did an oil change and spark plugs, though maybe not as in depth with spark plugs as you’d like.
The headlights look amazing! What did you do to restore them that well? The headlights on my 99 Camry are extremely foggy and I’ve been wondering what process to try out.
At first we considered buying new headlamps from rockauto, which were around $60 for a pair, but she decided against that idea. So, I used some polishing compound on a microfiber pad and my dual action polisher. All the hazing was on the outside of the lights and it cleaned up nicely.
Thanks! I haven’t been able to track down another set of wheels like those. A lot of people have been eyeing them, but so far I have no answers. They’re probably the best looking wheels I’ve seen on a Camry of that era.
@@TheNonnell yea i am searching for those wheels becz recently my camry got in aa wreck resulting in broken stock 2002 se rims so i am searchig for set of rims that would look good on my camry
@@yourfavcamry I'll keep looking into these wheels for you. If I get a lead I'll let you know. All I know for sure is that they are Enkei wheels. Best of luck!
@@TheNonnell thanks mate plus is there any change u could make a vid on how to connect ur foglights to drl so the fog turn on when the drl r switched on it would be great help
Wow great job - that sage gray shade is really coming back to life - I just had a quick question- what wheels are those, and where did you guys get them? And did you guys have any fitment issues?
Hello and thank you so much! They are Enkei wheels and I believe they had some agreement with Toyota. This car has been in my family in some capacity since new and those are the only wheels that it’s had. I’m not sure if that was an option at the dealership or not. If I find them I’ll be sure to leave a link. You’re not the only one that’s commented on her wheels.
Thanks so much! Kamilla was blown away by your comment and is very happy to see such an outpouring of support! She’s currently on her cross country trip(which you can follow on her IG) and when she returns we have more planned for the Camry. Thanks again!
Hey! You’re welcome. We did not touch up any of the paint before the detail. All scratches and paint chips were left alone. We did avoid the paint chips as much as possible though bc we didn’t want to dig them out and make them worse. If you’re looking for good diy paint chip repair tutorials, check out Larry on AMMONYC and he does a great video about it on his Porsche.
The symbol on the wheels is Enkei. I’m not sure if Toyota had a partnership with them, but that’s what came on the car from the dealership. They’re in terrific shape(like new), which is amazing for being over 20 years old.
I used a dual action polisher with compound on a microfiber pad. Came right off. If you don’t have a DA polisher you can use compound by hand with a microfiber pad or cloth. It’ll take longer but you can get similar results.
Thanks! I guess you'd say that the Camry is low mileage for her age. She only has 149K right now. Her prior owners didn't have long commutes, so she's stayed well under the annual average. Kamilla is planning to put more miles on the Camry when she graduates from college in May. Plenty of road trips and cross country traveling on the horizon.
Yes, 100%. I think it’ll do cross country and probably get great mpg while doing it. Only a few more things to get this car completely ready and it will be good to go. It’s a very reliable car and even though most Camry’s like this are high mileage now, for the money, it’s a great buy.
@@TheNonnell You’re welcome!! My brother has the same car and I believe he’s giving it to me bc my current car has a bundle of problems. It was cool to see you bring the car back to life
@@hayleystanza5263 Thanks gain. We had a great time working on the Camry. They're great cars and easy to work on. Basic maintenance and they'll last forever.

@@TheNonnell I agree! It is such a loyal car, and I am happy to be an owner! So many people share similar stories just because of how long they last!
I love my 99 Camry. Best car ever.
You’re 100% right. Great cars. Hers is 22 years old and still running strong. Great reliability with low maintenance costs. Can’t beat that.
IVe had a 2000 Camry for about 2 yrs now, and this makes me want to clean it up, just to see how good it can look. Thanks guys, great video
Thanks! As you know, they’re great cars. A little lovin goes a long way. Your Camry will thank you, and might even get some heads to turn.
The xv20 series is the most reliable Camry ever!
Yeah. So far the car has done exceptionally well, even with the few mechanical issues still needing fixed. Now that it's cleaned up, she is really enjoying it.

@@TheNonnell If you do any future maintenance on it, that would be helpful. Replacing fluids, spark plugs, brake jobs, etc.
Ok. Definitely will be doing some of those. Also, in episode one we did an oil change and spark plugs, though maybe not as in depth with spark plugs as you’d like.
@@TheNonnell Yeah, the oil one made it seem like I could do mine! I just need the tools and I only have street parking hah.
Yay I am working on my Toyota Camry 2000 aswell
That’s awesome! I’ve found a lot of Camry enthusiasts since starting this series. We still have work to do and videos to make.

My dad also drive this masterpiece car it's so good and my dad drive like 300k or 500k miles still has it
You're right, they are great cars. Treat them right and they'll last forever.
So, this Camry's arm rest expanded / busted out from around the window / lock switch plate as well. Mine's not the only one!
Yes. I would say those are very common problems with these cars. Unfortunately, not the best interiors during those Toyota years.
mine is so bad omgg
This car is build strong and powerful running awesome car! I wish I can buy that car in future!
I'm sure there will be plenty still around whenever you're ready to purchase one.
Круто! Однозначно подписка! I am from Kazakhstan ,Astana. Camry 20 ПУШКА!)
Kazakhstan! Cool. I want to visit there. I’ve heard good things about your country.
I also own a sxv20 camry right now, it still work perfectly
That’s awesome! I love hearing the stories of these long lasting Camrys.
@@TheNonnell I wish I could show my 🚘
@@tamluong5470 you have IG?
@@TheNonnell i will install later. I refer to see your video more :))
nice video .. continue good job
Thanks! I really appreciate it. It's been fun working on this Camry and bringing it back to its former glory.
Did you do any touch up paint for the vehicle? If so, how did you go about the process? Thanks for the video and the product names!

My Camry 50 usa from Georgia 👍
That’s awesome!
I YES WASH THENK YOU 👍👍.
Thank you!
What is the brand & models of the wheels on the camry? They are nice!
The symbol on the wheels is Enkei. I’m not sure if Toyota had a partnership with them, but that’s what came on the car from the dealership. They’re in terrific shape(like new), which is amazing for being over 20 years old.
I just got the same car and I need this done bad 😂
They’re great cars and a little clean up never hurts. Should keep her Camry looking good for years.
Nice doood
Thanks! I appreciate it. More videos to come in the Camry series.
What did you used to get the white paint off?
I used a dual action polisher with compound on a microfiber pad. Came right off. If you don’t have a DA polisher you can use compound by hand with a microfiber pad or cloth. It’ll take longer but you can get similar results.
Love the video how many miles on the champ.
Thanks! I guess you'd say that the Camry is low mileage for her age. She only has 149K right now. Her prior owners didn't have long commutes, so she's stayed well under the annual average.

@@TheNonnell Thanks' for the reply do u really think this car could cross county lol i am looking in to buying one.

@@betterwithnate1653 I just drove 2001 camry 1200 miles, after unused for 1 &half year, without issue
Glow UP!
So.....you're saying you liked the transformation? :) It looks amazing, and if you see it in person I think you'll agree.
Can you Do a decorate my car video ?
Maybe. What do you mean by “decorate”? Thanks!
@@TheNonnell hey, I think she means adding seat covers or steering wheel covers, etc. Stuff like that I’m pretty sure
Oh, thanks! Never thought about those options. I’ll let Kamilla know and see if she’s interested.
