jamesC. Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 This is the remains of a Toyota Celica I bought recently. It’s missing half it’s interior, doesn’t start and has had several “upgrades” by someone who obviously wanted to race it. At least there’s no rust. Yet.... fits right in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overrun Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Hi and welcome to JNC.Tuned in! Some of these are well cool. I remember a guy ahd a red one of these on Deals on Wheels. He also had an Iguana that used to come for rides, on his shoulder. If it was an RA28 or TA22 I would combust with envy. Get the pics up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean36014 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I had a 79 Celtics fastback years ago. Great car but it had serious rust issues even back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaShrimp Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Those stupid plastic arches!!! Haven't seen one in years. Always remember my brother had a gold one in the garage for a few years in the early 90s.

jamesC. Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 I was looking for ages for that photo. I found the (fake) bonnet scoop in the boot. Datsuncog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 What's your plans for this one? Get it up and running, add a few of the missing interior bits and then a coupla passes of clearcoat to top it off? I am rather fond of these A40-series liftbacks; fella I worked with had a very clean '78 one in a sort of terracotta colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 The earlier ones were fit - they reminded me of a mini dodge challenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs front seats aswell which will be hard to find. Carlosfandango, taxi paul, Dick Longbridge and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Largactil Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I was looking for ages for that photo. I found the (fake) bonnet scoop in the boot. I snapped it at the Irish Festival of Speed in Limerick 4-5 years ago. Hey there Largactil, just wondering if your forum name has anything to do with Amebix?Afraid not - more the chlorpromazine variety. jamesC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I swapped a Renault 14 for one of those Celicas when I was at college, would that aircon compressor mean it's an XT? If so it's the rarest of rare things. Mine had the bastarding bonnet pins added also, swapped it after a few trouble free years for a Saab 99.

If so it's the rarest of rare things. Mine had the bastarding bonnet pins added also, swapped it after a few trouble free years for a Saab 99.Yes it is. It’s was an automatic aswell which is even rarer. This needs the bonnet pins as some of the bonnet bracing has been cut out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Ah, mine had the pins because it had been stuffed into a pole leaving a bit of misalignment in the catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
