I swapped this 1976 TA23 celica for my old v8 vh commodore project as i have liked the appeal of the celiacs ever since i owned my first RA23 that i smashed. The car was completely stripped when i purchased it making it easier to undergo the full rebuild.
Current mods and parts that I have available for the car are.
18rgeu which will be turbo'd
Front mount intercooler (Have to get the turbo first though)
Nismo mags
2 1/2 exhaust but will probably need upgrading one its turbo'd
A1 condition seats out of some late model car (not sure what though)
Microtech digital tacho
Sports steering wheel (Just legal)
After market electronic ignition (Just have to pick it up)
All alluminium parts are being polished (including the efi manifold)
Lowered engine mounts to lower the engine about 30mm
Car is now fitted with ra40 struts and a ra40 diff which is wider making it look sweet.
The car is now mostly primmered and the engine bay and under the gaurds are painted in matt black.
Also i have started installing the dash.
Its gonna be a long project but hopefully the end product will be a celica not to be messed with
I would post pics so far but cant figure out how to yet
