Hello from South Bay Area

Post by Celica4.0 »

Hello,
Just joined and got my password.
Thanks Mike.
When searching ra21 images, the interesting ones seem to lead to this site, so joined to see more!
We had a 1972 Celica for about 10 years in the early 80's then traded it for a paint job on another car. Mistake! We replaced it with a 85 Celica GTS. We tried to buy ithe 72 back a little over a year ago. The new owner was not interested. So about a year ago we bought a basket case 1973 Celica project. I've had it driving for a couple months now. The only complaint we had with the original Celica was a lack of power. So we swaped in a 1uz on the newer one. Power problem solved! We built the car to be legal to drive in SCCA Street Mod class. For reliability we adapted a t5 trans and a modified Explorer 8.8" rear end. The body and interior is still a project, but so far the car has been a blast.
