New member from Southern California

Hey everybody! Glad to finally be a member of 1stgencelica! My name is Paul, I live in southern California, im an electro mechanical assembler for a medical supply company based in carlsbad.

I got my 1974 RA21 celica gt in February of this year and was in love at first sight. Only issue I had with the car was the dog of an engine and transmission in it, so I made the decision to swap the 18rc and w50 for a FR mounted 4AGZE to W58 trans, still working on that currently lol.

Anyway, ill post more details about the car later, as for other vehicles I have a 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T, a 2014 Honda CBR 500R and last but not least my 2 wheeled pride and joy, my Triumph Daytona 675R. Other than that my celica takes up pretty much all of my free time and money haha again glad to be a part of the community and I look forward to cruising the forum and chatting with all of you about our cars.

Welcome, as an expat Brit I remember the bikes from the past....the "bonneville " was my fav as a boy but yours is rarer.

Good luck with the build and use the forum as your "manual'.

Lots of great knowledge here and always learning.
