My cars
Ive been reading through these forums for the past year or so and finally decided to join. I am waiting for my FR-S to arrive, i though i post up some pics of my current cars and projects...
My '77 Celica project. It was bought by my grandmother brand new and now I am trying to get it back to working order for now...    The '26 Ford Model T. Been in the family since the mid 30's. Me and my dad restored it about 16 years ago, he let it sit for a few years before I got it due to his other projects and not Im trying to get back in running order.   Then theres the wifes new CX5 and my '07 Civic LX that will be getting rid of to get the FR-S   Now to just patiently wait for the FR-S in the next month or so... |

It's good. It needs new valve seals and some front end work...the front end shakes at about 45 MPH and blue smoke out of the tailpipe when the RPMs are above 4k, but it's the original engine and trans with 181k miles and has sat for the last 2 years so a little work is to be expected. I plan on dropping it a little, running some 15x8 wheels(possibly Panasport) exhaust, cam, fender mirrors, and eventually dual side draft webers.

I love the early Celicas. Good on 'ya for keeping it alive. That's a nice "T" as well, though I'm more of an "A" guy.

Awesome collection! I was infatuated with those Celicas for quite some time.
