Finally found something worth restoring, not decided if ill go custom or ill restore to its original beauty.
Body is straigt, some rust spots. It runs but it needs a battery, carburator and revise the brakes.. the undercarriage is ok, not rusted. The car is original from alabama, so is southern vehicle. The interior is trashed. I had not seen it from the inside, but i drove 300 miles with a uhaul trailer, so i was not going back empty handed. We negotiated, i think i paid a little too much, but the price is under 800, that was his asking price.. Surprised it runs, and no major body issues... except the hood. So right now i just need to start to clean and make it drivable again Its a classic, and i finally found it. Now i have a 77 celica, and a 97 celica... lol 20 years later. Enjoy the pics, and take note.. Is a diamond in the rough....

To restore a car and be period correct means either 2tg or. 18rg. A supra engine does not belong there. I'm a purist when it comes to the engine in this car in particular.
Not bashing the supra engine. Just want do do a good resto and not a hack job. The car does not deserve it.... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL

I'm not saying anything bad about sticking with the stock motor. I fully understand your going for a full factory resto Just had to throw out the v8 lol. I'd love to build one with a 1uz v8 an a supra 6speed that would be an awesome old school muscle car -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy
