hi, so where are you from?

Personally i would be offering abt 6-10 MAX for it. Also check any previous body repairs with a magnet...

Here is a couple of thinks you can check to see if it is actually a ST model, check the engine. it should be a 2T-B and be with twin ASIAN carbs, The dash should have a oil/amps gauge the first from right next to the cigarette lighter. Different Grille to the LT. For the rest, here is some healpfull...

Have you thought about importing a celica form OZ? there is a nice one in Queensland for $13,500 fully restored. Have a look at http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Toyota-Celica-Ta22-/160424313054?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Cars&hash=item255a08c0de#ht_914wt_1167 Also look up shipping costs as i believe it was qu...

Cheers boys, Ill remember that and have a look as soon as I spot it. How was it that you could tell it wasnt a TA22? Im on holidays atm and im dieing for more pics of the rear end of this car, will post when I get em! Because i own one, here is a pic of my ta22 :shades: http://i545.photobucket.com/...

Hi mate, welcome aboard.
sorry to tell you but that is not a ta22. It is eater a RA23 or a TA23. Check with the chassie number but it should have a code in front of all the numbers eg. TA22, TA23, RA23, RA28.

Other then that, nice find and a grate price too
