Hey guys - gals!
I've been searching for a ra29, for a few years now
And spotted this 76 liftback in an old garage
Stopped talked with the guy and purchased the beaut for a whopping sum of 700
Plus's 8 hours of driving to go back for it!!
A bit of dust....
And then a carwash visit for the great unveiling
Glad to be a member of 1stgencelica

It does run now! Haha
A guy drove it up to PA from Florida in 98 and parked it a few months afterwards
Sat there since!!
I had to flush the gas tank
rebuild the carb
new fuel pump
And new points set
Fires right up and rolls down the road!
(Admittedly a bit of tire shake) haha

I'm from the southeast corner Lancaster co.
How about you??
As far as rust this is just weird surface rust from humidity and such
I did find rust under the rear window seal
What have u guys done for that tricky area??

I'm glad to see celica guys from the area!!
This car had to be purchased when the opportunity arose and now its OK with me if the restoration takes a couple years so long as I do it correctly!!! Haha
