Pinky,

"A TA22 Celica, not a TA23, because I like the shorter nose. It doesn't have to be a GT, but it wold be cool if it had a few GT parts."
Someone did their homework....

Nice find too. Post some pictures sometime.

Welcome.

Hi Guys, An update on the car. Picked it up from the Garage this weekend. Had to drive it some 150km. This turned out to be at night. Bummer because she was not charging and drained the battery. Wiring is a problem...but she still got me home. :cheers: Pending issues. 1.Very stiff steering...replace...

Hi Neil, Too late. When I get the smiley I'll have to do the body work again. The front-side panels were pretty banged up to begin with.

Hi,

The pics attachment steps are in the intro. Take your time and read through. Funny I spent like 30mins before I got the hang of it. Send those pics. You're right. They do tell the tale better.

Cheers Man.

(they have a flat surface instead of the convex curve). The lense holders I have no idea what model of car they belong to But they seem to work. I'...

Hi Faffi,

Am based in Kenya.
Used to see the celicas while growing up, now they've disappeared.

Most of my friends have new 4door saloons. Hope to be the coolest one with the oldest ride.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Cheers Man.

Hi Guys, Here is my project car, a 1975 Celica GTV.(My first car) Pretty banged up. Seems to have rammed into a tree or something because all the original front parts have been replaced with other...stuff. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7041/6904931960_ec90804128_q.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5...
