Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I live in Ga, and own a white 75.
Good to know you guys are here!

HAHA!!! Welcome! I'd love to see pics, I had only been around CCC for a few months before it went down.

Welcome back to our new home.

Sure, Ill post a few pics real quick. Here is my 75 for those who care...

hella clean car man welcome back!

Thanks guys! GREAT to be back. So glad I found you guys! I was depressed!

Those wheels look sweet! What brand and size are they if you don't mind me asking? I love that style, I have to sadly sell these from my collection now after having searched for so long for them.

These are actually Western Wheels that are on the car now. They remind me of the General Lee wheels. I like the way they look, but would love some Panasports.... Oh and they are 14's

Holy crap that's funny! I gotta find me a set of these.....wanna sell yours?

dam!! we can eat off the valve cover! clean is an understatement

Wow, beautiful, and VERY CLEAN! I used to have those style wheels on my first RA22, like 22 years ago . I like the Repro GT stripes, they are repro right?

Pete

that is so clean! i think i remember it from ccc, i really like it, how long did it take you to do all the detailing?

Yea, those are repro strips, I got them from Rodney, on the other site. He does a good job with them, and they are really affordable.
Im probably going to keep the Westerns, as they are getting harder to find, and I dont wanna put the stock 13's back on.
For those who dont know, my father bought the car brand new, and gave it to me, It was my first car, and I retired it when I was 19. Even though it was very solid, I restored it about 10 years ago, and in the last 2 years, went insane, and pulled everything apart and re did it all. Aside from paint, the project has been on going, but I did the really detailed stuff (engine, and bay, suspension, undercarage, and interior detail) all in about 8 months, including rebuild. That was taking my time though.
I bought the engine sticker kit from Toyota as well as a bunch of other parts YEARS ago, when it was still available. Since then, I have scanned, and backed up all those items, so I can one day re create them. The ignition lock tag is a re creation of the original, Japanese on one side, and English on the other, as well as the Anti Freeze Ok sticker in the rear 1/4 window. A close up of the ignition lock sticker....Window sticker, and Ga state inspection sticker, as it would have appeared in 75. Yea, I know, I have no life.....
