First and foremost great site! i've been learning alot on the forums.
anyway.. ive been lurking the forums for about a month now since i got my celica. finally had the time to introduce myself
im Damian from LV just bought myself a 77 GT 5spd Liftback with 93K Miles for $2k
ive been wanting one for soooooooo long and finally found one for cheap
pretty much drove all the way to LA and back just to buy the car.
the car didn't come with the usdm bumpers but the seller gave me front and rear fiberglass smileys for it.
(does anyone have a how to to make brackets for them? )
exterior is doo doo brown , HAHA interior is tan/brownish (might be just dirt) LOL
engine stock 20r with weber carb
car has only a few surface rust spots but no "CANCER"
im new to toyota's and new to carburated cars and RWD cars..
the bads on it: interior need to be redone (i.e. Driver seat/carpet/ upper part of the Rear Seats/ Dash cracks)
brakes need to be replaced (calipers/rotor/drums/shoes/master cyl/ probably booster?)
little dings here and there
minor hit on passenger quarter panel wheel well
Radiator leak
my plans for now are : FULL Restore!
FIX the bads mentioned above
Repaint (not sure wether i should paint it white or black)
Replace all weather stripping
Fender Mirrors
Install Smileys
does anyone know a "how-to" make brackets for the smileys or measurements? ive been searching for weeks now
im thinking of buying tokico "blues" for my car, only thing is is there any springs out there besides stock?
(i have no plans at the moment of modding suspension, i just really want something decent and wont require mods)
does anyone have any hub centric rings installed on their car? i would like to know the size you are running.
final question, haha. would coupe flares work on the liftbacks?
anyway here are some pics of it when i first saw it when i arrived to sellers house
did some exterior detailing ( wash , clay barring , buff & wax )
wheels that will be on it soon
thats it for now
thanks
