Im looking at a 1972 TA22 celica that Im probably going to pick up sometime this week that has the following:
worked Toyota 4AGE twin cam engine
Hilux limited slip diff with oversize drums
Koni shocks & Lowered Kings Springs
larger sway bars
Mandrel bent sports exhaust and custom velour interior.
Engine
100kw 4AG
rebuilt to include a ported and polished head
balanced crank and conrods
high compression pistons
electronic fuel pump
Ivan Tighe racing cams
custom made tuned length extractors
twin 42mm side draft Webbers
including modification plate

Plus spare parts including -
Celica 5spd gearbox
worked 4AGE motor in pieces
2 spare sets of rims and tyres
other misc Celica bits and pieces.

$2500

The only downsides are the gearbox in the car is blown and the spare might not be good (I know theyre only cheap) and the body was resprayed fairly recently but was really badly prepared and has small holes where rust was sand blasted out and dents in both front fenders as well as some other small dents (mostly on front fenders and bonnet).

The mechanical gear on the car is ausome but I cant drive it cause of the blown gearbox, which makes me not so sure of the car but I think Im gonna risk it. I havent started the engine yet cause the battery was dead and didnt have any jumper cables but will do that before I buy the car.

I just wanted to hear peoples opinions and their ye or nay. Im thinking strong ye but im worried about the body and that somthing might be wrong that I wont pick up till I put the other gearbox in and the car will turn out to be a heap of shit.
Any opinions welcomed. Cheers.
