Hey guys! I'm the guy who bought santos 73 from him. Been wrenching on cars for awhile now. Currently I own a 97 Eclipse gs-t with mods that been with me for almost 11 years, 05 Evolution VIII owned for 5 years, and a 06 Suzuki GSXR 1000 that I've had for 4 years. Although I've been a Mitsubishi boost junky the classic car bug has been calling me. Came across a picture of a white with black hood Celica on my Super Street app and fell in love. Began my search for a project last month and found santos ride on ebay. Started talking to him, he told me that he "dies by" this site so here I am. Seems to be a sweet communty and glad to be a part of it.

welcome aboard,i can tell u care about wrenching ,everyones so helpful here,thanks for joining our cumminty

Welcome! Great buy! Hope you enjoy your new car as much as Mike did. Oh... and if you go back and read Koich's spread in SS magazine again it will make more sense to you now. good having you.

you got yourself one helluva Celica. your Celica's come along way since i seen it.

take care of it!

ah ha!!!

new owner is finally reveald!! haha...

glad to have you on here man.

like everyone else said, you have one bad A$$ ride. santos did a GREAT job on it, and you will enjoy it for a very very very long time.....

thanks for joining the 1stgen online community!!

Welcome!

You've got yourself a sweet ride!

Thanks for the welcome guys! Won't have the car for about 2 weeks seems how I'm shipping it . No worries about the car guys, it will be in good hands! First thing I get to do is change all the fluids followed by detailing the interior/exterior then start enjoying it. I have no plans for this car for now seems how its all done. Santos did an amazing job on this ride and I'm sure he'll do it again on another Celica.

The article I saw was an app on my phone that readers asked what engine swaps would work with their cars and it showed the 1st gen for some reason and the guy has a 76 . Do you know the month of the issue?

Again, thanks guys and THANK YOU Santos for making an amazing ride (and selling it to me )!

Feeb '08 or Feb '09 of SS.

bob, andy should know he built almost all s2000 swaps ,and the 76 your talking about if im not mistaken

Mr. Andy started this revolution. A lot of people hated him for doing it especially the purist but now people started to copy his work.

Btw Mr. Andy how many have u done?? can u tell us pls.. tnks

Thanks for the info. Gonna have to look into it. I'm not making any plans just like swaps like this.

Welcome!
