Do to nurerous base transfers mostly overseas i was unable to kept any of my first four 77 liftbacks. Having now got a permenant address in Grand Prairie TX. picked up my latest 1977 GT LB from Ebay in June 2010 for a sweet $700.00.
I am hopefully on my last contract year, and will semi-retire soon. I have been spending about a month each summer
in TX and recieved delivery of the celica the day before leaving back over seas and only had time to rinse it off and put in the garage. In the summer of 2011 got to work on car for about 10 days and managed to strip out complete interior
and some of the exterior and then up on blocks.
Summer of 2012 about another week of strip down including engine bay. pics for latest work in TX on computer maybe post them after summer 2013,
My plan for 2013 includes finish engine and trans removal and complete removal of all remaining components for a 100%
restore. Thinking hard about converting 5 speed manual for auto trans or maybe even going green as in electric. still trying to get a handle on how this site works, well quite a long post. Hope to get some possitive feedback and while surfing the site noticed alot of interest in a few items on my bucket list (ie)
smiley bumpers, banana taillights and assorted interior items. closing for now.
Enjoy the site and welcome
