1979 Toyota Celica 'project white dog'SOLD pg 3

It doesn't look in bad condition actually. Although the drivers footwell looks a bit manky.....has that been caused by leakage or just lack of care by previous owners?

get them arches on quick

gona look good

noooo, what did you do that 300C was worth more than that, its a nice car like but he shoulda given you some coin to go with the celica.

loooking win though.

It'll be great to see it! Looks good with those arches on too.

Dear mr.traveller I am wishing too see this backlit jdm thingy,the paint doesn't look as bad as I was expecting from your description at the last gathering of the lime green fryup.
looks very solid for a 79 I seem to remember seeing a lot of rotten ones back in the day.
Now stop making no time excuses and remember sleep is for wimps.

Nice Gen 2.

Looks in OK condition, which is a novelty!
These do look good when arched.

If you're looking for some inspiration, plenty of arched Gen 2's here:

If you need any tech' help, give me shout I've probably run into the problem before!
For parts I can also point you to a good source.

I'll keep an eye on this build.
Good luck.

Ah so this is why you werent in the 300c at the last meet. Looks nice, wanna see it rolled out of the garage for some better pics though! Look forward to seeing it at the next limes meet!
