Thats awesome that both you and your father are into them. If only my pops had the same car I could take parts lol

Must be cool to be able to find celicas like that around you, Out here on this coast I barely ever see those at all

thanks for the comments again unfortunettly were in the process of moving shops so thats why there hasnt been much of an update the ffim is now completely finished and polished out and we welded on a tab for the throttle cable and got the gas peddle in and working. i havnt started it up yet because we are modifying the oilpan to hold more oil because of the rack and pinion and how low we sat the engine the first one we made was without the rack which is why we have to re-modify another pan
ok enough of my chit chat:blah:
