Its definately a lot of work rebuilding a car yourself. As suggested before it would be much easier to buy someones already modified, but thats the problem, it still will be someone elses baby. If you work on your car, build it from the ground up, its yours and no-one elses.

Still, it would be quite a good idea to find a celica with a nice body, no rust and good paint, and go from there. If you want to do the paint thing, expect it to be off the road for a long time. I am about 10 months into my restoration, and I've only really got around to doing the paint.

EFI is definately the way to go if you want a good daily driver, but twin carbs is quite old school and cool, just a pain to tune. I have both for my 18RG but I'm not sure what I'll be putting on mine when its on the road. Probably the EFI.

Good luck with whatever you do!
