Oregon Celica
hello my name is matthew, i recently picked up a 1976 celica coupe from a good friend of mine desperately screaming to be rescued. The car was sitting in a field for several years where it inherited a nasty ant problem. Since then i have torn the car halfway apart, solved the ant problem, fixed both front windows, and have began body work, I'm no stranger to old toyotas, i had an 81 starlet that i was building and planned on using for autocross. i work at les schwab and i look forward to learning many new things, meeting up with you guys and offering any help i may have ![Welcoming :wave:](./images/smilies/cust_wave.gif)

As in Montana? Uh, ok, sure. The more the merrier, but that might be a long drive. My distance limit is roughly 2 hours from Salem OR.

Re: Oregon Celica
WELCOME! and thanks for saving that beauty! I've driven through Lebanon several times. We were recently in Newport last Oct. for Oyster Cloyster. Good times.

Re: Oregon Celica
perfect!! actually one perk of working where i work is i can cross reference parts and found that the ra24 and ra64 share the EXACT same lower ball joint, i plan on actually using whole ra64 front crossmember/steering rack/rack and pinion my weld on ae86 coilovers from fortune auto are going here the 18th, I'm going to post a write up of how i made the suspension.
is it frowned upon I'm using my intro and turning it into basically my build![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
