Well, this is my baby. And there is quite a little story behind it!
UPDATED 13/2/05 
Well, the story goes something like this:
- Found through a contact of a contact found in Toymods
- Took 2 months of negotiation to get the sale
- Finally bought for $1700 in canberra with a busted G/box
- Was towed back to sydney on a car trailer
- Sat in my driveway for around 3 months while i worked on everything.
- Late Jan 2003: BIG THANKS to CamZH who helped me change the gearbox, clutch, and engine mounts.
- Feb 2nd: GOT IT REGISTERED!! 
- Early Feb: removed and replaced complete suspenstion setup in favour of the setup from my previous RA28 (now wrecking!)
- Mid Feb: Removed 18R-C in favour of a newly purchased 18R-GU (thanks again CamZH!)
- Took around 10 days to get 18R-GU going (thanks to my then lack of knowledge on ignition and dizzy's)
- Replaced Solex's for my "spare" 45mm webers within 1 hour of the 18R-GU working
Things remained the same for a while.....
- 18th June 2003: fitted electronic igntion YAY REVS!
- 27th June 2003: backyard carby balance, hard to tell what difference it made but the dyno graph below gives an idea
- Late august: Oil change lead to BAAAD rattles.
- 19th Sept: Discovered potentially very bad piston movement in the engine. Time to do an engine swapsie! 
- 22nd Sept: Took out existing 18R-GU for my spare 18R-GU.
- October 2003 sometime: engine went bang.
- Feb 2005: washed car, moved it to home for much more love and attention.
Basic specs of the car as is today:
Car: RA28 1977 Celica
Colour: Dodgy yellow multi-tone
Engine: 18R-GU twincam 8V
Engine goodies: varying... things are being upgraded heavily.
Transmission: Being upgraded
COLOR=blue]Suspension:[/COLOR] Stock front swaybar (for now, i have a spare 25mm waiting!), 18mm whiteline rear swaybar fitted, urethane bushes in some places, koni red ajustable shocks all round, lowered springs (needs more lowering at the rear).. upgrades on the way....
Wheels: Simmons F90 silver rims. 15x7" running 205/50/15 rubber
Interior: Custom everything in some way or another! Includes MA61 Supra seats, Nice steering wheel (thanks TurboRA28), completely repainted dash (was tan!), new carpet, mostly all retrimmed a few years ago by someone else.... and much more.
On the way: Lots of things.
Well here she is!
