I first bought the car almost two years ago for $200 and ever since have been restoring it with my old man to have ready for my 18th b'day. We started off by completly stripping the entire car and scraping it back to bare metal. We kept the original 173 which was pulled apart and completley overhauled, but scrapped the aussie 4spd and went with a reconditioned 5spd celica box. Car is currently primed and almost ready for paint which will be orange with black trim. Have spent almost $6000 on project with still a bit to go. Hopefully finished by december Edited by user Thursday, 13 July 2006 5:54:56 AM(UTC)
