Hey guys, my name is Ryan, im 15, and im from bremerton washington.

Me and my dad just bought a 73 celica st coupe, posissbly picking up an ra21 and another ra22.
we're planning on restoring it as much as we can.

it has a rebuilt 18rc with a 4spd and needs lots of body work. :doh:
i guess it has a little potential, no major dents or anything.
we just recently replaced the front fenders, before both sides were dented in and ate up by rust at the bottom.
also we just replaced the door panels with black 75 celica panels.
the paint is in the process in being stripped, it used to look like a popsicle hah!
seems like some idiot spray canned the whole car with blue.
other than the paint, everythting is in pretty good condition.
i hope everything will turn out like i want.
had the car for a week and we made a lot of progress!

anyways here are some pictures

before i stripped paint

Welcome :wave:

Another young guy that will have a cool restored Celica to drive. Nice stable of cars as a matter of fact. :2thumbs:

I know there is an 11 year old and a 14 year old on here restoring Celicas with their Dads. It is a great way to bond, my dad, older brother and myself restored a 69 Camero SS when I was a teen. Sold it later, but it was a great experience to remember for all time.

:cheers:
Pete
