I THOUGHT I'D FINALLY POST SOME HISTORY AND PICS OF MY CAR, AS IT IS NEARLY BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN AFTER 8 MONTHS OF TIME OFF. I DONT HAVE MANY DECENT PHOTOS SO HERE GOES, IL JUST TRY MAKE DO..
This was the car how i bought her almost 2 years ago...
DEAD STOCK.  18rc 5 speed, okay interior.. booya 
Then after slight front detailing & restoratrion,
few other things..
eg notice freshly painted red & black seat metal side frame..
I loved it, and was absolutely happy with my first car, glad that i'd made the choice to get a celica ra28.
The specs at the time of these photos:
18Rc, W50, 1&1/2" lowered Kings springs and KYB red shocks.
13"'s with 205 tyres.. thats about it.. 6x9's hehe. I also put extractors on the 18R to free her up a little. took out the air filter overy now and again.. hehe massive gains in performance 
THEN i found one of these motors :  ....
Mine (Juzzo's old motor) looked more like this:
18R-GEU 1968cc DOHC 4-cyl imported
factory EFI gear
dead clutch and few injectors, but all wiring complete, bloody confusing, but it was all there.
So one day this happened:
(Oh and by now the car had some new rims as u can see, courtesy of a fellow toymodder and a f*cked bluebird trx.. And i bought new Goodyear Eagle Ventura low pro tyres, which were a significant improvement over the retreads)
Engine bay primered.
This is the motor before being dropped in, minus shiny matching oil cap..

This is it sitting over the new Holden Commodore PANTHER BLACK metallic paint in the engine bay, not wired yet obviously.. also not been run yet, as you can see pacemakers still have their blue colour to them..
**********
Well thats all the photos and info for now, the car is at a much more complete stage, with only weather temps restricting when painting can be done well. Many more parts have been replaced or upgraded, and the car generally had a decent overhaul and rejuvenation, yet while sticking to a tight budget. (Hence time off road)
Im sorry about the lack or quality of photos but these are the only ones that are hosted, i have all the good ones on my home computer.
More news soon. She thankfully is finally purring like a kitten, and should be back on the road soon. Fitting my rear sway bar in a few days when we have made up the remaining brackets.
Cheers,

yahoogeocities are wankers and wont let you link to their site form others
so what we'll all have to do is get the addy off each picture then pop em in your addy bar, and view like that. Or get somone else to host
