Looks great! I agree, deserves it's own thread.

I need to do this too. I took my old 74 Celica down to a rolling shell and then built back up. It's a lot of work but worth it in the end.

I have to be honest, i've played with the idea of selling mine. But now that it's back up and running/driving, it's my daily even tho i have that new 2020 86 TRD that barely gets driven.

Its either you get it or you don't. Long time owners get it.

Sounds like a nice collection!

Dude! The only other set of wheels I'd get for my 240SX! Love it!
