Hello my friends. My name is Weston, 21 years old, been around cars and projects for awhile now. I have had my hands in a few DSM's. I had my own 95 Talon TSi that I built and tuned myself. I also had my hands in a few other cars that I built or modified in some way.
Anyways, here I am with my newest toy to build up! Unfortunately this will be a rather slow build as I am a full time student and income is very limited, but I will do my best to update as I go along.
The following pictures and such are from another forum I am a member on, I figured I will just copy and past to catch you all up to date!
Without further ado. a 1974 Toyota Celica ST! 7 bolt 4G63 from a 98 gst eclipse. I know crank walk was an issue with some 7 bolts, this isn't a concern for me as I will be fully building the motor at one point.
The rust I spoke of. There are spots like these around the roof line. This is probably the worst. I believe the car used to be a vinyl top, and the was from water collection and such.
Well, I was able to come home for the weekend to work on the car a little bit!!! First thing I did was get to work on removing the bumper brick things front and rear. I personally like it much better now.
Amazon came through for me. I was able to get one day shipping on these ladies for like 7 bucks so I didn't say no.
I was able to get both the rear shocks installed. Easy, easy job.
All in all I can't complain. I did have a mishap whilst changing my oil, I didn't realize the gasket had come off, so I checked later and there was a puddle under the car, tried to remove the drain plug and recycle the new oil I had just put in, and, well, spilled about 1 1/2 qts on the ground haha. So first thing tomorrow is to find a gasket that will work.
I'm more in love with my car now! The more I make her mine the more I like it.
Here is what I did with the rust that was on the roof. Most of it has been cleaned up. Still have some to go.
Needs to be painted but it's smooth and solid now. Much better than before.
And I got a new toy!!!
Well, here it is. The new heart for the celica. This is going to be a very slow process as it will be rather pricey, but, it will eventually get there.
Without further await, Mitsubishi 4g63 2.0L turbo engine.
