    Damn. How can I come up with the money is what I'm wondering now. That's about half the price of what I thought you wanted. I personally like half finished projects. I always change everything about a rig anyways, so what's it matter if it was together when I started.

    If you still have it in about a month or so, hit me up. I will deff make it work to buy it.

    Hoping to get the rear adjustable suspension in tomorrow and tinker on a couple more driveability things so I can start driving it back and forth to the shop I have to work in and keep tinkering on it.

    Got a guy bringing a trailer and cash thanksgiving weekend...but we will see if he will pay what I want. Because I dont NEED to get rid of it, im not really gonna take much less as I know how rare these are getting. Ill keep ya posted.

    No rush. We are all celica fans here. For a long time, I was working a way to install celica gauges in a hilux. Still have a few sets lol. I went aftermarket.

    I used to have one a long time ago. In pretty rough shape, but it ran great. Never gad a problem with it. Wish I still had it it but you can't keep'm all.
    I might restore one if I can find a once one.

    Some more pics. As you can see, passenger fender has only real damage to the body but its VERY workable ( hour or two with a hammer and dolly, I also have a set of fiberglass ZG flares that with the fenders cut and flares installed properly would completely eliminate the fender damage), Drivers fender has one little flex line that cracked the paint unfortunately..but metal is fine.
    First pic...the whole fam damily of yotas I got.

    I would sell my middle nut to buy that car. I'm trying to wheel and deal some stuff to get it. I've always wanted one. Already had all the yota trucks except a stout and first gen, had a supra, always loved the celis. Look like a mini muscle car.

    Drove the celica bout 10 miles to and from work today (Lexus). Car had a bit of brake pulsation so I turned the front rotors on the lathe...still have a pulsation in the pedal..My guess is it needs some new drums in back (unfortunately, cant turn them at work, No Lexus came with drums so we dont have ability to turn them).
    Threw it on the alignment rack to set the toe after the coilovers/brakes/rca's.

    Car actually drives pretty decent for all the bushings/etc underneath it still being all original. With the 2wd truck w56 behind the 20r with 22r carb, it actually pulls pretty decent. With no carpet or lower interior still makes plenty of noise but thats to be expected with age and no interior or carpet, etc.
    Will work on getting the rest of the interior installed and possibly carpet this week/weekend.
    And hopefully will get some pictures of the interior then.

    I got all the headlights and running lights working as well. Still having some dash electrical issue and still no turn signals.

    Slowly picking away at small, costless items.

    The sale of the celica bought me a new 12k winch for my 86 4x4, piston rings and gaskets for my single turbo 2jz that goes into the mk2 supra...

    Ill find another one some day..but till then the 4x4 on 35s, single turbo 2j swapped mk2 supra, and 67 stout will have to suffice for yota projects. Being 23 and having just bought my house, that will have to do for now lol.
