thats a cool car. it's funny how the intercooler, looks like it's a grill for the front. looks good. couldn't tell it was actually the intercooler until i saw the front end closer.
Owned one for 5 years now, slow project as money is tight and parts are rare but so far im down to the body shell ready for black spray job, and every part of the interior and engine has been stripped and revamped... just another few years to put it all back together and ill be spending most my days listening to that revving
hahah my dad use to own a 77 celica...bone stock + automatic...I drove it to school a couple of times when I didn't have a license lol. These celica sure are a hot commodity.
correct me if im wrong, i dont mean any disrespect..but when i was 19 i bought an old 79 supra and i thought that was the first year they came out,..or was you calling that a celica supra because you swapped engines?
dude 79 is definetly the first year the celica supra came out. i swapped out the celica engine to a supra engine 2jz..oh and no problem or disrespect taken.
this makes me want to put the 1jz that I have into my 79 celica. I have a vid of my 20R in it right now.... have a 1jz begging for a home under the shed....
dont worry i have one coming from australia ill have it by next week. and you were right i despretly needed a rear smiley especially with my ra25 lights i have now
thank you glad you like the car was alot of work for the swap but trust me it was worth it.not done with the grill or interior but if i am done by then maybe
Nice, hoping to do the same with my 78 Cressida

no not a 350 thats too easy and you'd just be settling with an engine you really dont want in a supra 7mgte also a good engine choice
the 2jz is a difficult swap alot of wiring the 7m or 2jz will fit in the 81 celica-supra chassis with some cuttting and modifying
