I've always wanted one since I was little and I finally found one, but I'll tell you it's a blessing and a curse to have one. It's super hard to find genuine parts, but on the other hand it is cool to have something so unique.Originally posted by Greasy63 View PostLeave a comment:

I have a quick update:
I got around to taking the interior out of the car and I have started the painful process of getting all of the sound deadening out of the car.
As you can see the horrid orange/red carpet that has been in the car since day one. It smells horrible and I'm sure some mice have used it as a restroom more than once.
So far I have gotten all of the carpet out and I have taken out the console because it really isn't needed and I like the way it looks without it. The interior is pretty much perfect considering all of the seats are intact (minus the tweed in the driver's seat starting to come undone) and the door panels are perfect. I didn't really want any of it in the car while I have it for now, but I think eventually it will all go back in.
I have been staring at the handbrake for a while, and I want to do something about the shifter boot, but I can't think of something.Leave a comment:

So I fired the car today for the first time in what seems forever, but I noticed that the whole exhaust was made out of flex pipe and the exhaust manifold has a hole about the size of a quarter. Needless to say the Celica sounds like a tractor and is very loud. I will have to find a solution sometime soon.Leave a comment:

I never thought I would see one of these, but the previous owner pulled it out of his shed and put it up on craigslist. Also, thanks!!Originally posted by CDeez5 View PostLeave a comment:

I saw the front coilover conversion kit on the site, but I am guessing that I will have to have a custom rear coilover setup made because the Celica (at least the first gens) have a solid rear axle.Originally posted by nishy View PostLeave a comment:

Well... your pics aren't linked properly. You need to get the specific image address, not the page the image is on for the link.
It's a good looking car though. T3 sells some good stuff for all the older and cooler toyotas, so you should definitely hit them up. If I recall correctly, they sell a whole coilover conversion for these and corollas.Leave a comment:

So I pulled the trigger and bought fender flares for the Celica. I got them about a month ago, but I never really got a chance to check them out.
The flares are from fiberglassmafia.com. They aren't a perfect fit, but I didn't expect them to be perfect. Plus they were decently priced so I figured why not.
The flares add an additional one inch at the front corners and two inches in the rear corners.

Sorta cool ra24 Celica
So you may or may not know me from my ls400 "build", but long story short I decided to not modify it any further, and I picked this up a few months ago.
It is a 1975 Celica GT with a 20r and 5 speed transmission. Besides a few spots in the trunk, the car is rust free and for the most part straight. The paint is faded in many spots, but the interior is perfect.
Sorry in advance about the crap phone quality pictures. I just got the car out of storage and haven't had a chance to get the fancy camera out to take photos.
As for the plans with the car, I would like it to be a good mix of a auto x car and a touge car as there are some nice mountain roads where I live. It would be nice to "stance" this car, but it has a solid rear axle so there isn't camber adjustments in the rear.
Anyways, enjoy this thread as I build this on an extremely low budget because high school students don't earn much.
