Hello all.
Thanks for adding me to the group Leslie.
My name is Wes. The alias are the plates on my car.
I'm the owner of an ra28 Celica which is getting all the bells and whistles. The theme is full street driven 2 jz powered 8 second car. Whatever it takes to get there will be done.
I've got the car, I've got the engine and Turbo, 2 speed powerglide and so on. Right now I am clearing the garage space to strip this car down and begin fabrication.
Previously I owned an Australian 1983 Falcon (previously owned 65 of these through out my life) which was a daily driven 10 second car on Lpg gas, turbo charged straight six (Australian 6 cylinder single overhead cam) with a 3 speed c4. Had all the bells and whistles and was a fun streeter which smoked anything on the street. Got bored of the power and sold it after 2 years of faultless driving. 30 psi daily and I couldn't break it.
Here's a pic of the old car






and of the recipient








and the baby that will push it there

Welcome Wes, That Falcon is (was) a beauty! Looks like you've a lot of work ahead but it's also evident you're well capable of doing it.

When do reckon the big reveal will be?

Looking forward to following the build, keep us posted

Thanks Neil
Reveal.... these things are weird. At times you think it takes forever and then at other times it all falls into place so I can't say really.
I have two other cars occupying my mind too so I think I am at the point where I want to de-clutter my mind and focus on one. I may get rid of the other two as this is the bigger plan.
I will put up a thread soon about the build
