We got the two cars today, 1980 and an 83. We got the 83 to get the sway bar diff.
The 1980 is going to be the racer, we got to work today stripping the thing down. We removed everything behind the rear seats inside, radio, some other lower dash parts. We removed a heavy towbar someone had dodigly put on it.
Tommorow seats come out and front carpet, then its time to remove all the sound deadening material. I think we are going to use the 83 front seats as they are in better condition. I think we will remove the mechanism for the dicky rear windows and use some other method to secure them up. Seems to be a lot of winding mechanism for them. Heater will also need to come out.
After that its getting a bog up of all the rust (these cars rust terribly it seems), then a quick export quality paint job 
Mechanically it seems good, except for being a 3t. It started almost first crank which is good for a wreckers car. I think all the emissions gear will be coming off. It blows a little grey/black smoke that smells like fuel, but its been at the wreckers for a while so it might just be crappy fuel.
Upcoming mods are going to include ra60 celica struts and brakes we have already located. It seems the ra60 struts already have different thicker springs (from visual inspection) in them, any chance they good be any good? We will use the sigma control arms as suggested for camber.
I think a simple 2 or 2 1/4 exhaust will be enough, probably side piped before the diff to keep it cheap and simple.
Then just time for shocks, springs and sways and it will almost be time to call it a day and hopefully under budget.
Have to try and source some wheels, we have some but they are a ~+38 or 40 offset which is think is a tad too much for the T18.
