chutz_pah Regular Location: geelong Registered: September 2002	Re: ta22 body mod... what do you think? /// PICS ADDED /// Tue, 13 July 2004 05:17 opinions appreciated... when i originally bought the celica, i didn't buy it cos it was a celica though... or toyota or anything like that.. i actually sat down and wrote everthing i want in a car.. first i decided it needed to be relatively cheap as my pockets have holes in them... (and no, i don't mean that i play with myself, i mean i don't have much money)... so i decided to go for an older car, 80's cars suck ass, so i set my eye on the 70's variety... i then decided i wanted a small car, 2 doors, 5speed manual & a 2.0lt twincam engine with a supercharger... (the engine i knew would be a later thing, and yeah, i know bout the availability's of a 2.0lt that fits in easy... i'm gonna settle for the 3tgte, however i still want the supercharger, not a fan of turbo's) anyways, after looking at alpha gtv's, datsun z's, escorts and any other car that came close to that description, i saw a celica go by.. at the time i was 17 (23 now) and had never seen it before, had no idea what it was or anything like that... so for months later i kept my eye's peeled and asked 2nd hand dealers if they knew what car it was from my description... eventually i found out by spotting one in a car park... i was actually suprised, cos i once had a friend who had an early 80's version of a celica, and didn't like it one bit, so to find out it was a celica, was weird... anyways, couple months later, i saved up a "huge" wad of cash and bought my first celica for the pricely sum of $90... (oh yeah, and i found $5 in shrapnel inside). plus im kinda the second owner which is a bonus (i say kinda the second owner cos, the lady who bought it originally died, and in her will gave it to her ingrateful daughter who drove it around with bald (splintering) tyers, 6 kids in the back, no bracket on the battery (which i found out the hard way) front struts that were stuffed, no rear suspension and a passenger windscreen wiper that is busted on it's side and has scraped an unbuffable scratch in the window. so yeah, the fact it was a celica had nothing to do with me buying it, i just saw an unreal car that has got plenty of potential for me to modify it however which way i want, and although to modify it body wise, may be to some people an "unholy" act, it's what i had planned for it all along, and there is no other car better to work off in my opinion. i think the fact that everyone does something different with it, is testament to it's unique design. it's the same car, but everyone see's potential in it in different ways. whow, that was long winded... i promise i won't do it again [Updated on: Tue, 13 July 2004 08:52] [Report message to a moderator]
