Hi Guys,
The car's front has a bumper that I believe came from a Volkswagon beetle. (The old beetle). The lights/lenses probably from an Alfa Romeo GTV. (they have a flat surface instead of the convex curve).
The lense holders I have no idea what model of car they belong to But they seem to work. I'll use them before purchasing the lenses-and-holders.
Here are some more pics of the car...
Rust at the wiper area and chassis number area. Bad! Still sorted it out anyway...
Had to get rid of the bumper and side fenders. They had too much filler, rust and bends...
But the replacements were'nt any better. The bonnet-hood and fender-wings(also banged up) are from an RA29.
Okay, Yes I know. Lots of rust still on the car. This is not a rotisserie restoration.
I have to get it on the road first in good enough condition, drive it, enjoy it them... Perfect it in time...and with money.
Atleast it seems recognizable as a celica now. before the front had a my friends asking if it was a datsun? What?
Now there toyota written all over it. The crash bumper and parking lights have that toyota finger print about them.
Got carried away with the pics, the car has mis-fire issues. Runs on three- then four- cylinders. Stalls at the lights when doing test drives. New distributor? or can I nurse the current one? Please advise guys.
Thanks,
More updates later...
