aka ugly orange ra29

here is my project it is a 1976 toyota celica that i am swapping a 7mgte out of an 88 supra this has been an ongoing project for awhile that my dad has been helping me on and i appreciate it and he knows it.

here is some pics of the progress thus far

just a random pic of the car about a year ago

process of taking out the old 20r

engine wiring and gauge cluster

engine and tranny in place-got the engine to sit low

my modified gauge cluster

took out two headlight to make room for intercooler piping

heres my custom ffim-still need polishing and throttle cable bracket welded on

and here is my dads celica aka 77celicasupra

and yes he has the more powerful engine

The swap looks great and your dads 77 is badass!

ps-this should be in the non-supra section

Flawless victory, IC piping and Gague install area top notch. I am glad to se these older toyotas getting love.

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

[ra29mike]

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:
