Hey everyone! My name is Mike and I just picked up this 72 celica st. Dont know too much about them right now but hopefully I can pick up some great info here and learn some more. Here is what she looks like currently.

Welcome aboard. I like the pearl white with the black. What are your plans for the car? Did you find it locally or did you ship it?

[Hartnsol]

Thanks! The paint it's actually a thinned down rustoleum flat white I think he said lol. I picked it up local from a friend I autox with. As for plans, I def want to make it faster. I have been trying to research swaps for it and things. I would like to autox it eventually but there it's a lot of play in the steering. Everything but the box has been replaced I believe. I dont know what lurks under the paint but hopefully I won't need to go too crazy on metal work or anything. Trunk and floor are solid but all the seals are gone. It's got the 18r-c I think the motor said and has been converted to fuel injection with megasquirt as the tuning platform. It's no show car but I think it's a great place to start.

welcome ,
a good one to start with,
looks clean ,could it be that your front bumper is a little out of his form

[Hartnsol]

Yeah I think it has a few dings in it lol. Hopefully replace them with fiberglass pieces.

Is this the MegaSquirted 18RC? I never did get to see it, only saw his Z. I live in the area. Used to be in VA Beach, now I'm in Hampton.

I know someone with a 20R and W50 trans if you are interested. They just did a 22RET so the old motor is just sitting there. It's carbed out of an 80 Celica. Let me know if you want it, he's looking to get it out of his garage pretty quick.
