Crazy Canadian eh ?

Post by dirka dave »

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.

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.
