Hey john, did u forget about taking those pics? Lol

my daily driver 77 toyota celica (custom) it's still a work in progress! this is the true toyota hybrid motor (22r shortblock with 20r head) bored,10:1 cr,284 degree cam,HEI dist.,32/36 weber carb (have a cannon intake for it that uses a 40mm sidedraft carb) a few have laughed --till they got SMOKED, then i was the only one laughing

Dude you have some pretty cool stuff, I love how there is NO discrimination for you about any of your vehicles. 

My dad had a 1973 notch. It was originally a peach color with a landau top, and he took the landau off and repainted it bronze. Left the 1973 bumper guards on because everybody else took them off. Haven't seen one with a custom body kit, or a body kit of any kind except a race version. I think it works.

update: ordered the wheels today--just shy of $1,500
 and got the carb today

Can't beat a good old Toyota engine.

Kind of like the Frankenstein swaps I used to do on Hondas. H23 bottom end with an H22 VTEC head. Normally aspirated, they will fly. Give a little boost and you have a V8 eater. Tried the D15/D16 F swap, but not as impressed.

Nice rims

well today i finally got around to getting the "farm truck" fired up and running again (it hasn't been started for more than 2 years!!) and i replaced some brake components...both new calipers, a new hose and new hard line (several trips to town 25 miles away ) BTW this truck originally came with 4 wheel non-power drum brakes! so a few years back i did the '73 and up disc conversion  well worth the effort!!! some day i'll get around to fixing all the body work and get it painted, i've got all the necessary parts and trim to do it, just got to get around to doing it...someday  

bought tires today for the celica  225/45/17 rear and 205/45/17 front

i decided to install them and take it for a short drive 

Nice

no, i've seen them with old school v-8's in them ford and chevy, it's just too hard on the unibody! i think someone swapped in a lexus (which is made by toyota BTW) v-8, but still hard on these unibodys. hell the vega unibody is a lot stronger and a SB chev will twist and rip them apart! ask me how i know besides i've already had to reinforce the front sway bar mounting plates, due to my "californiajohnny" sway bar engineering  (tandem sway bars!!)
