How have i not seen this around yet!? I've got a beat up yellow 73 with a green hood running around s.e. portland you ever come out this way or just stay in Gresham? Got or need any spare parts?

Yah like always...one I've been looking for is the body part that the spare tire fits in to, not rusted.

I’ve tried to repair this as much as possible but it’s still fragile. :td:

I went out on my maiden voyage and wound up getting an exhaust system. We ran 2 1/4 pipe out till the muffler you see here. The sound is really deep, my wife hates it. Of course I think it’s cool :mrgreen:

...i think I'm in trouble. :shock:

If that exhaust sounds half as good as it looks you're fine. :tu:

I got some daytime shots. I there is so much little stuff that I hve yet to do.

The drivers window is being a real drag to adjust it needs more tilt toward the car but i just dont seem to be able to do it. It still is not a snug fit :banghead:

A little dirt where I was working on that window, still buggin me! :arg: New Dragon, polished CELICA

That looks really sharp, love the stripes. The "landau" roof is a trip!

I am loving this car, I know the cragars are rare, but how attached to them are you? I would love to see some vintage japanese rims on this car (not a fan of the cragars, they remind me of american hotrods with their flame paintjobs) and also lower the car. But man, this is a loveley car, thats just my constructive criticism to hopefully make you think about other ideas.

btw, many people here have more than one set of rims, so if you like the cragars, get some vinatge japanese rims and swap when you want!

Thanks Ben for the kind words I get so worked-up on this project, I have a tendency to miss a reply or three.
