Hi all,

Signed up a while ago after seeing a link on Toymods but haven't really got around to participating in the site. As my username says I'm pretty Celica mad and have had a few, my pride and joy is OTA22, a '75 TA22, as close to a GT spec as I could possibly make it.
The original inspiration for this build actually came from a photo I saw on Toymods about 6yrs ago of Andy's car sitting in a driveway, just blew me away. Until that time I had planned on painting it british racing green but that soon changed.
Here she is.

I did eventually restore another TA22 and painted that the original factory metallic green, unfortunatly I moved from property back into suburbia and had to sell it as I only had one lockable garage. Luckily a toymodder from Sydney bought it and has keep it in exactly the same condition, this was taken at a Toymods event last weekend.

Cheers
Scott

Impressive, welcome,...What took you so long, those are nice examples that will represent Queensland well.

Only the red one OTA22 now, the green one LTA22, is now in Sydney NSW, its funny I bought it from Sydney transported it to QLD, restored it and then sold it back to another NSW'er.
