Very awesome, and welcome to the board! Couple of questions.

1: What's with the drawing and symbols all over the head and the valve cover?

2: Is that a 1st Gen CRX one piece CF hood in the background there?

i will get some pic of it
i call it a Toyofor Thundica

going to take the body off the T-bird chop down the frame 21" to match the 100" wheel base of the celica
strip every thing from under the celica and plop it on top of the T-bird frame
it will look like a super wide and kina tall celica monster

the Bird is stripped down and all body bolts are out but i think i will have to take it to work to lift the body from the frame . i need it there to cut and weld the frame anyway

this all came about due to misunderstanding scca rally cross rules . was told by rally chairman i could run the t-bird with no hood or frount fenders(the nose is soooo long on the car) take it off and you can see the frount tires and knock off bout 3 feet that can take out cones.
so i riped the frountend off - to much rust to just take apart.
and when the saftey stewert saw it i got a big NO.
there was no way to put it back together again so...

i like the celica with a big block better anyway
