Bring it back, man! The Celica needs to live. Make it a "Mad Max" style vehicle to crawl junkyards with.

If anyone can bring it back, Dave is the man to do it!

Man I had a chance to get one of these for free when I was younger. A guy said his roommate abandoned it and left to MI. "If you can get a title, it's yours." It was CLEAN, too. Painted white with IMRON paint, same they use on cement trucks. They wash those with acid! lol I don't know whatever happened to that storage, but I do know he got his Caddy out many moons ago. I knew nothing about cars or titles at the time and there was no Google, so yeah, I was bummed.

I would love to have a GTV one of these and an ALFA

Nice,your always got something going on,glad you were able to help Sarah out on her car.just continue doing what your doing.be safe 😎😎😎👍👍👍

if anyone could save her, it would be you, Dave! Do it!

This is very interesting car to bring back to life and it is unique.

Dave, I think it was Street Banditos that made a carbon fiber roof for the Speed Academy guys Celica, they may still have the molds…just sayin. Make it a race car style build…2JZ…mmm hmmm

We called these s*** boxes in the day and no one would ever have believed they would be worth anything much less desirable. Good video

Aww that’s a cool car a shame I’d have restored that and put the effort in even if I turned it into roadster if I couldn’t straighten the roof but I bet I could ! Save it Dave you could do that with your eyes closed man with your skills 👍

Dave, I Love the Celica! That engine was swapped, so mileage and engine wear will be misleading. It's a 2t or 3t engine. The engine plate in the bay @ 11:32 says 18R-C stock engine which is the generator / truck engine that were common in the USA. It should have the T302 rear axle which is T (diff size 6.7") 30 ( 3:7 3 ratio) 2 (2 pinion) -no anti slip. Some models came with the 2t engine which is the 1600cc. I prefer the 2t and 3t engines over the R series any day. The 3t engine is similar with 1800cc displacement, but these came out in 79/80. Both T engines are rev happy cross flow engines that came with a forged steel crank. They lend themselves well to modifying for more power. I would love to see a carbon Celica or Datsun, but honestly, not with this body. Strip it, use it's parts and find another.

good old pushrod 4 banger

I used to have a 1972 Celica.

12:43 lol at ‘boogered up’ The phrase is _buggered up,_ mate. It means shagged up the arse.

You should finish all your other projects. All you do is start a project, then move to a different one.

So is possible to 3d scan another car with a good roof. 3d print it and then make a carbon fiber mold from it

I would say that judging by the way the numbers line up straight across on the odometer, that is the original mileage. If the odometer was rolled over, they would be not in line.

That is good to know never thought of that

SAVE IT DAVE.

That car had a carb fire at some point. The discoloration on the hood is right above it. But a good score in the end!

That five speed manual transmission would be worth a lot. They are really rare here in Australia.

I reckon it deserves to be saved but then again I save most toyotas that are ruff 😂

A friend had one of these. It was pretty quick. What is happening with the green Durango? Love the color.

Maybe you should have steam clean the engine before working on it….just a suggestion From a fan!

AutotopiaLA just had a similar Celica on their channel.

Living up to your name. 🤣🤣🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸👍👍

Bring this car back into a build like Sarah's and then you two can race each other at the end!!!!😇

How's the Keller going? We haven't seen it for nine months since you took the engine to get worked on.

Dave if you restore that one you will get a lot of youtube likes and a lot of views always like those when they came out

streetbandito have made carbon fibre roof for celica not sure the same for the speed academy guys

Definitely worth some time saving this one Dave 👍

Body-swapping is the new hotness on KZread. I think this may be good for a TomsRefurb style ratrod bodyswap. That said, I'm all for restoration, but whew! He's gonna need a crew!

Restore it and sell it in Kissimmee

Do u not think u should be finishing of the blue charger instead have it on the road first before anything else 😂

Make it rally

That Celica has a Hemi head, so I guess it's a Hemi motor

That’s too bad those were neat little Toyotas back in the day especially if it had the 22r

restore it

Not the original engine corolla probably a2tc

awsome man , restoring old school japanese cars 😎👍

What happend to the Keller Super Chief 🤔 come on ive ben waiting on seeing that what happend ?🥴🤗

Fix it!

build a convertible

Toyota Family ❤. I'm looking for a 1974 Toyota Corolla automatic carburetor. Please let Me know if you know someone. Thanks

Hey dud i one a toyota celica ta23 and need a ac voor it my celica dident have it dus dis 1 have ac

or Celica! ;D

This Celica is just too far gone to restore, Just find another one to restore. The tow yard really did a number on this one, otherwise it would have been restorable.

That thing is toast. Not a straight panel on it and too much rust. Too bad it was so damaged at the tow yard or it probably could have been saved. I'd just sell the good parts and scrap the rest.

Just get a JDM one from Japan or Austrailia..

I turn into a rat rod build

First

thats a dud. part it out.

Good luck finding sheetmetal for a 50 year old Toyota. You're better off crushing the carcass and selling off the parts.

And said "prestine" as well instead of pristine. And this guy was a engineer for CAT or some diesel engine manufacturer..

What the hell is a "prestine example"? And why are you yelling?

Stop recording in wide camera mode its annoying cant watch like this

The camera is not good…..too much of a fisheye…… makes you dizzy watching it…..
