red seems to always do great work, nice dan. and what no love for the st165 gt4's? they were just as fast as the newer ones but lighter

 

duplicolor metalcast red. did reg engine primer first, the nthe duplicolor silver basecoat, then several coats of the duplicolor metal cast red till it got the deep red i wanted. paint says itll withstand 500deg so we shall see.

 

here is my 1st gen. The white coupe is the toy and the hatch is the parts car. 20R. also there is a pic of my parts car (hatch) with my friends 5th gen ST184 GT

 

OMG dont let that nice of a car be a parts car.. PLEASE!

 

Branden that 77gt is not a nice car lol. Dude its a rust bucket. Thats my blue GT next to it in the last pic

 

Now that I look at the pic with both cars, I can appreciate how Toyota took the styling points from their roots for the 5g Celi. They lost their touch after 99 :-/

 

its sad the 77 is a rust bucket i'd love to find one in good cond. i actually found one the other day that had a factory option turbo on it but the owner would not come off of it so sad

 

factory option turbo on a celica in 77? more like aftermarket kit. even if dealer installed itd be aftermarket. just like all the dealer installed hks and spearco and cartech turbo kits for mk2 supras.

 

oooo have any use for the louvers on the hatchback? do they fit? or does the hatch run at all? ooo i see a weber too!!

srry you caught my interest

 

how the heck did you see the Weber?? the louvers do not fit a coupe. (I was thinking about it myself). The hatch runs great. Its purpose is the motor and drive train. I am taking out those and dropping them in the coupe along with some cabling, under dash components and other little things here and there. The coupe has a 2Y motor in it right now that was installed very poorly and besides that it's a very week motor. The plan is to drop the 2Y back in the hatch and maybe sell it.

anyone interested?
