Hi guys, well im the lucky one to get the bringatrailer mark II. I was wondering where i could find some parts for it like the winshield seals and door rubbers, might they still be available, does toysport have em?

I dont have pics, yet, but will be on shortly.

I don't know about the window rubbers, but the windshield seals might still be available from toyota. I know that a bunch of the seals for the first gen celica are still available from toyota.

finding parts will be a nightmare. especially to rebuild that tired 2m

You sure that's a 72? what's the production date?

njccmd2002 · **Posted:** Wed Nov 23, 2011 6:24 pm

Ive been doing a little research, there is not much info on mark II, i have yet to find prduction numbers and facelift. He had it listed as 72, but that year overlaps with gen I. so i was starting to think it was a 73.

I had to put the car in storage due to severe raining, ill go get it out soon and look at the plate.

have not been able to get the car, but the build plate says june 1972

2m?? Are you sure it's not a 4M?
As far as the seals go they were not available from toyota. I found mine at a local upholstery supply shop. They matched them up with some bulk seal they had and I just cut them to shape for my wagon. I think the seal itself only cost me like 60 bucks. I know total in the car I spent close to 200, but I did all the window channels, door seals, hatch seal and a few other bits. So it was money well spent to me. Now the car is water tight and has no wind noise. If you can't find it locally let me know. I'll help you out with them.

thanks pertano, i love your wagon, and your celica.

I just found them from australia, on ebay. 100 each. not cheap. but they supposedly fit well So i took the hit.

Im torn with this car, i love the way it is, but i also want to mod it and put a better engine, however, newer engine means different gauges.

Ill start to change the spark plugs, and clean the carb, fix the seals, and fix some rust spots and go from there....

i posted the link to the seals in the ebay section, only 4 left.

why in the world would a new engine mean different guages? If there is a will there is a way.
I was considering buying that car as well. It just was too damn original for me to get cause I had plans to modify the hell out of it too. I have just got another TE27 though so I think I am good for a few years with that one.

Either way can't wait to see what becomes of the girl. It's definately a great place to start. Good luck and I'll be keeping up with the progress.

Dang, that car wasn't very far from me at all! Congrats on the new project.

njccmd2002 · **Posted:** Fri Dec 02, 2011 8:20 am

Thanks guys,

i bought the gaskets from a company in aussie, repros but good. in storage, because i cant keep it outside. Its been raining and snowing, and it deserves better...

ill take it out of storage tomorrow night.

njccmd2002 · **Posted:** Fri Dec 09, 2011 4:20 pm

brought it home today, to check some things and what not...

I love these taillights, but they are so rare, they hav small cracks, i better take care of them..

the famous TAG

only passenger seat has this, leads me to believe the drivers seat has been reupholstered.

a picture of this just because

and the tired 2m engine, i will change the spark plugs tomorrow and see what happends, this car is screaming engine swap and new rims, but i am torn, i like it original also..

Is it hard to find parts for those engines?

jzcelica · **Posted:** Sat Dec 10, 2011 9:56 am

Car looks really nice. I'd consider a 5 speed swap before a motor swap if she runs ok.

njccmd2002 · **Posted:** Sat Dec 10, 2011 4:34 pm

well i dont know. right now with rebuilding my RA24, im not doing anything to this one...

well maybe a few things :twisted:

like the ugly black anchors on the side.. :td:

swap them for something better, (tires were rotten anyways, i had these to spare...)

and set them aside, in storage.. :roll:

oh and something more classic that wont hurt to grab, the steering wheel had cracks, i had this one lying around...

Bit closer.. :mrgreen:

i also changed spark plugs and air filter, but it bogs down ocassionally when i give gas, whichs means the tank is dirty or it has water, next thing on list. But ill return it to storage, until i get more work on my RA24.. :shock:

Not a fan of the Supra's on that car man. The stocks and white walls looked much better IMO. Sorry.....

njccmd2002 · **Posted:** Sat Dec 10, 2011 5:10 pm

I know, but had no choice, the old tires were rotten and almost 15 years old, and these supras came with almost new tires for 100 bucks, so now at least i can drive it safely..

i was thinking of getting these to shine.. if i dont sell them first.

if not maybe recoat the old rims, idk, in the mean time i will finish off these tires... :mrgreen:

I think the above rims would look real good on her after being cleaned up.
