Hey Hey

Post by fade-e »

Hey all,

So my first post here. Hopefully the first of many 'useful' posts :)

So my name is Fadee, hence username of fade-e, i am currently building a 1974 Toyota Celica TA22 here in Australia. i will create a thread on my build up shortly for all to see and read, but basically i have been building the car for the last 4ish years of which the lat 1 1/2 have been dormant until recently.

Beyond this, i have owned 4 TA22s including this one. My first wass written off in an accident (not my fault). The second was used for parts on the first, the third was driven for many years all across NSW (racked up 500000kms after rebuilding the motor and then sold the motor to someone and it is apparently still going LOVE TOYOTA MOTORS!!!!). That was then used for parts on this one :)

So thats me in a nut shell mregarding the toyota world. Other than that i ride a bike cause its cheap, quick, etc, etc

cheers

its a 72 ST spec, or was(18rc, 4spd, coverted to 20R/22r hybrid, 5spd, rear swaped to Tseries diff)
just tiny scratches and such, nothing a good polish can take out.
no fading. I don't like to leave it parked with to much sun on it.
yeah i see the clear ones for sale alot now.. but still not alot of ambers. wink
