Well, met my wife 20+ years ago and she had a 1972 with a 18RC and 5 spd. I was a hardcore american muscle car guy. But after driving(or terrorizing) the streets in that Celica, I was hooked! The car was wore out and needed a rest so I scrunched some cash and started the resto. After completing the body work and chasing parts, Some kids at a concert decided to demolish the car. Kicking in the doors, hood, roof, and trunk. My wife and I were heart broke. A friend of family needed a car for their daughter to go to school with, so we sold the car under the rule that she sells it back to us for the same price when she is done with it. Some years later we got the car back and it sits in my quansette waiting to be restored. I need a lot of parts, but vow to finish it. About four months ago whilst looking for parts I came across a 1976 and bought it instantly. It only has 87000 original miles and has always been serviced by the dealer. I presently have the car sanded and am hoping on having the paint done later next week. While tearing down the car I came across some major problems with the bumper ends and can't seem to find any replacements. Anybody know where I could find some? It would be a shame to have this lil dragon locked in my shop with fresh paint because I can't find the parts.
