PostPosted: Sat Oct 31, 2009 12:37 am 
Gday Fellas,

As i sold my gemini, which was a sad moment, I decided i needed something that will eventually replace my BA fairmont as a daily. Had to have curves etc. and rwd. So I was after a 70s car that was manual and a 4 banger.
$500 later i had purchased this:

At some stage it was reupholsted pity its got stacks of cigarette burns and its faded..

And this is the Heart of the beast.

So thats pretty much my bomb! 8)

Updates will follow when i actually update something :lol:


Dave.

I must correct a mistake, the 3TC is not a SOHC, it is in fact an OHV engine, the cam is in the block, not in the head. Anyways sweet ride, I've been wanting a 70s Celica myself.
