Just a crazy Canadian here...

I am in process of trying to decide what to do with my 1971(12/70) celica.

I am a heavy duty Mechanic working for transit here in Maple Ridge....close to Vancouver B.C.

I have been towing my Celica around for 15 years and I guess its time to tinker with her again.

I hope to get some good advice on your site.

Well, thats not me in the picture, its my buddy......he seems to be holding a Kokinee type cleaner.


If it was a photo of me, it would be a Budwieser (canadian type cuz its wayyyyyyyyy better) type cleaner.

you should have been here last week, lots of action. Dave that is one colourful engine bay.................that Kokanee cleaner really works!

First time I've seen the solex/mikuni carbs fitted on a Celica, seen datsuns though..interesting.

This car is basicly a time capsule from 15 plus years ago.

Welcome to the Club :wave:

Nice to see another GVRD'r

Must be nice having such a large to garage to work in, you should be able to get some great things done to the Celica in there.
