all is going to be done by me as much as i can, im contemplating a blacktop beams
Time to start the Project updates.
This is what i start with, Normal rust in tipical areas.
Yeah, i was wrong
Drivers seat, What!! its in the trash, i just kept the rails :
Took out the carpet and wanted to inspect the floorboards, and they are lovely :2thumbs: , almost no rust. Just need to take all the crud out.
Prefitted a rear smiley, its crooked, i think there was slight damage in the panel. so I will have to redrill anyways to lift it a couple of mm's :ohyeah:
now the ugly parts so far
the usual battery tray and the location all rusted through.
a busted hood hinge, but i have sourced a good pair
I have started to take the front apart, to check for rust. There is some of it all over but i dont think its bad.. :nonono:

hey 'berto, slightly off topic, but i been reading up on welders, and came accross this welding forum..some of the guys are brutal on noobs, but the tips and tricks you can get just lurking are awesome. been just reading thru the project forum the past couple days, and got some amazing ideas.
www.weldingweb.com
also, learned TONS of great stuff from this site as well:
www.weldingtipsandtricks.com
great videos of actual welding techniques that work. improved my welding 100% in a matter of a couple days just watching his vids, reading the info, and practicing.
looking forward to more progress!

I used to ride to elementry school everyday in one of those!!! [Explains my love for Celicas] Ours was a white '77 HB tho. The interiors were just like that man - ours was trashed by the early 80's - and my Mom is almost as anal about her cars as I am.
Just FYI from someone who has owned a '81 GT - the 22r sux much anus. I hate that motor more than I hate USDM 6GC engines
Get something with more power IMO.
Cool project and best of luck on it.

this popped up on ebay, thought it might help you out since it seems very similar
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyota-Celi...5fCarsQ5fTrucks
If you need any specific parts there is one of these in a local junkyard by me(in NC) that isn't too bad off. Just let me know if you want me to hunt for anything.... Good luck on her, I bet she'll be beautiful.

oh that looks like so much fun.
I would definitely take the wheel on the right.
'99 Celica GT - Sold'11 Mazdaspeed3
Saw this last weekend and thought of you 'Berto.
Some inspiration:
Has no more Celicas
The wheel on the right appears to be a fake nardi, and the left looks like a tom'? So go left.
its actually a Carrot top, and its real wood. Very old school

I'd go with the wooden one. Nothing screams more old school than a wooden steering wheel and a clean set of Watanabes.

Thanks hector, i was thinking that too, this one will be made to being as close as the 80's as possible.
As far as rims go, either

only mods to be made will be
jdm smileys,
18rg with mikuni solex carbs
Carrot Top steering wheel
rear sway bar
and this, do you guys know how hard is to find one of these!!!
