Hi all fellow celica brothers and sisters
iv posted sometime ago but wasnt too sure where but im starting up this page as iv always been quite idle on here. My life is quite hectic atm as my wife recently had twin boys so im getting killed atm.
Whilst being a head chef of my restaurant i own a 75/76 celica im told it was a last of line production P reg so thats why ordering parts started out very confusing as i was ordering 76 ta23 parts.
It started off while i was looking for a 240z as years passed i stumbled upon a white celica very badly looked after at a barn in cornwall. The car had its pros and cons. Cons were it needed some serious welding all over the body but one thing which was really good was all the playing around in the farmlands protected the underseal of the car of years to come.
When i finally went to see car it was querky but strange it won me over and as people laughed at me whilst driving it back to london i already knew i had to prove a point.
It was seriously unhygienic with the years old carpet and seats and all. Some muh to do and so much to learn.
Im defo a newbie to all of this and when i learnt that i had to drive the car via using the choke i was thinking "whats a choke?"
It was weird and wonderful all at the sametime. Its been with me for about 5 years now it slowly come along way and i hope with your opinions i can get more ideas.
Iv got my eyes set on a 2tg engine on ebay at the moment but the owner doesnt know if it runs as he too also brought it off another guy himself. Again i find myself at the sameplace as before and willing to go for the gamble once more.
Before all of this my ideas were set and i read as much info as i could in the mist of all the nappy changes and silly morning hour feeds. I eneded up with a nice collection of toys but unsure to where the car would go down.
I brought a Lexus LS400 with reasonable mileage again with the wife staring at me with disgust. I told here it all be worth it one day and picked up a W58 gearbox with driveshafts and managed to get in touch with Sam about a rack and pinion swap which he now holds at hand for me. (Really nice bloke)
Now my mind plays at me with the 2TG engine and im wondering if going down the 2TG route is better as its an engine from its era and probably be worth more value and retaining its value too.
Anyways im Chi from London UK and here are some pictures of how she stands today.
