Chicago 1973 Toyota Celica ST

Hello,

I have had my 1973 Toyota Celica since 2000 - In April of 2008 I started to strip her for a total restoration. I have since stripped her, had her Alkaline dipped and built a 70 degree rotisserie for her. She is now 90% primered.

I love my Celica's body style and engine type potential.

Please feel free to contact me especially if you are in the Mid West (US).

***I plan on installing a 22RE from a 83 Celica along with the ECU, Harness, Differencial and Rear end

I would love to create my own dash board so if anyone has any suggestions on how to, Please let email me.

Me too! - I have been on a Yahoo group with fellow Celica owners but they are mostly in Europe and Austraila.

Is your Celica in one piece?

If you like the Cheesecake factory you will love the Grand Lux on Michigan Ave. - It is a sister restaurant of the Cheesecake Factory and REALLY good.

FYI - If you search for Chicago in the Celica Project Gallery you will find the other guy in Chicago(Knowlege). He has a liftback like you and your Brother.
