New to the group

Post by Mike Collins »

Hi everyone. I'm Mike Collins located in Colleyville TX (between Dallas and Ft. Worth) and I have a 1977 Celica GT Liftback . . . again. When we were first married, our first new car was a brand new 1977 Celica GT Liftback, orange, 5-speed with a shadow kit. We had this car for about ten years (in northern Indiana and Michigan) and finally the rust did too much damage and we sold it.
About two months ago, I found one on ebay that was the same year, color, transmission and had a shadow kit. I bought it as a surprise for my wife and to bring back the good memories of our first new car. This one was from Arizona with no rust and only 65,000 miles. It's been setting in the desert for some time and most of the weatherstripping is dried out. It runs and drives and I'm in the process of making sure it's road worthy before it goes on the road.

Welcome Mike, :wave:
We want pics of the old and new(old) car. :drool:
There's GroupB on this site who sells weatherstripping for our cars.
Lately my mind is bit like my internet browser; too many open tabs, some are frozen,
and I have no idea where the music is coming from..... :roll:
