I wondered what happend to that 3T-B engine. Wish I could find a set of those bumpers for a future liftback project I got, also the filler piece between the taillights.

Yeah, the east coast seems to be taking quite a bit longer than the rest of the country. We had some sent home to MD and they haven't arrived yet either :(. Sorry!

nice car. it's the exact celica model that i want. how i wish that we maintained our old school toyotas (TA22, '79 & '81 2-door corona). well, they weren't old schools then.
