anyways, moving along.. i started with a 90 honda civic, slammed it, daily drove it,
did some side work on a buddy's mr2 and acquired a 1968 toyota corona 1900 deluxe as the payment, did nothing with it, it sits in a storage yard(to this day), this is before we put it on the trailer.
fast forward to about a month before toyota fest this past may i bought a buddy's 1970 toyota corona mark II as well as sold the civic and bought a 95 mk3 vw golf to drive as a daily..
the markII has a 18rc with the w50 5spd in it currently, 15" centerline reps, truck shifter w/ bubble shift knob, 240sx fiberglass overfenders, cressida x7 rear spoiler as the front chin, rear air
monroe shocks, and the godfather airhorn (out of sync), 73 celica rear seats, 85 sr5 front seats, and cressida mark Ii lace seat covers. ohh and a rx7 "oil cooler" up front
tinkered with the corona that whole month then drove it ( yes drove it, without a gas guage - sender busted) to long beach for toyota fest, had a ton of coverage. .
good times... especially during the drive to long beach there was alot of side of the freeway time
car ran horribly once i got to long beach, but found out the distributor keeper likes to wiggle it self loose. tightened the hell out of it.. brake lights stopped working after that trip, and diagnosed that the fuel tank either need to be replaced or cleaned with a new sender.
then the following month drove it to the bay area for the bayline gathering meet. awesome venue... since that it sits on the driveway.. turns over everytime though.
now fast forward to just yesterday, and reason why ive signed up on this forum.. picked up the third toyota in my somehow growing collection here..
the car... well has its up's and down's.. upside.. car was free. only spent 20 bucks on some diesel to go get the thing.. downside.... its basically a shell with damage and a cut qp.
welcome my 1973 ra21 celica st ... anyways onto pics 
family wants to do a restoration on it.. dad says chop the roof off(warped - may reskin). either way its getting a s2000 motor.. ill be looking for parts, found a few already just wish i had money laying
around, would buy a ton off here in the classifides if i could.. car needs a ton.. basically the whole interior, front bumper, turn signals, corner city lights, rear quater panel city
lights, window regulators, rear quater windows and regulators, might as well as all emblems. and of course all weather strips going for the restored look, modern drivetrain.
hope to send to mediablast relatively soon. need to actually start and complete a project for once, i think i can do that with the help of my family, friends and soon to be friends her on 1st gen celica.
thanks - rich
