Hello everyone! So happy to finally be part of this Forum Thank you Mike and Leslie!
About a month ago I bought a 1972 Toyota Celica. My dad had found it at a job he went to look at in West Hollywood, they were redoing a building and garage. They needed to get rid of it so I bought it, so happy I did!
It doesn't run. The car has fender flares and a duck tail. I just love the look of this car, it has a beautiful body. It also has a roll cage in the car Would've loved to get info on the previous owner but they told me he had passed away a year ago and the car had been sitting for good while.
I don't know much about Toyotas, this is my first Toyota but I'm eager to learn about this one. I first posted about the car in the Facebook group and I got some good info. From the engine, everything is stock except the 2 carbs and headers.
I really want to take out the engine and swap something else in. Ive been watching a lot of ShaDynasty and Speed Academy on youtube, so now I want to Beams swap lol. So I'm really happy I can read everything on here now!
Sorry I don't have pics of my car but heres a video of it. It shows around the car bit and the first rust spot I found in the trunk. The car is not at my house but ill update with pictures soon!

Re: Hello from Los Angeles :)
You will be able to sell the carb setup and the header (very hard to find if at all). Welcome to the forum1
