Hello Everyone. My name is Brent.
I joined up a few weeks ago after purchasing my 75 Celica ST and thought I would say hello to everyone.
I have mainly built high dollar 240s in the past but have been scouting a 1st Gen Celica for over 6 months and finally picked up one in Birmingham. I have started a few small things such as seats, blacking out the front and rear, and a lot of cleanup however for a 75 with only 65k miles it is 95% rust free. I have also ordered a custom set of all smooth (no license plate cut-outs or holes) smileys from Foxau2. The seats are from a 2002 Celica. I am 6'2" so i welded in new seat mounting points. I am sure I will have a lot of questions for some of the more experienced owners so I am glad this forum is here.
Here are a few pics...
