    Nice car, the pics don't really show the body work issues, whats up with the previous work? That thing looks so fun to drive.

    The pics show the work as best as they can... especially if you know what you are looking at. The right fender is bondoed into the rocker panel.. the rear piece under the trunk is missing it's seams because they are bondoed over.. one of the last pictures shows a plastic panel covering a big hole in the floor.

    Most of this is in the description too. I don't want anyone to say that I didn't warn them :)

    Even with all that it's still a very solid and driveable car. Shock towers are all solid and there is no rust anywhere in any frame rail or sub frame.

    Like I've said many times before now to other folks asking questions, worse celicas have been restored and most of them didn't run and drive when the restoration started. This could be a "rolling project" pretty easily. Build it piece by piece while driving it to work every day.

    Especially perfect for that guy who HAD a 22/20R combo motor with dual carbs in their truck and swapped it for something else. Get a 75 Celica crossmember and slap that baby in the hole and find yourself a W58 5-speed. With the ST rear that's in this thing it will be quick AND get good mileage.

    Ya I always like the way these looked, I just can't ever see myself in anything but a truck lol. Its a great deal for somebody, hopefully someone on this site pics it up so I can see the project develop.
