Yeah, so I couldn't wait any longer I had to go snap some shots of my newly acquired '76:

:camera: :camera: :camera:

My lighting was limited, but I tried my best. There's quite a bit of damage on the driver side front and the passenger fender. She'll need some work.

yeah bro.. I've only had it for less than a week. can't drive it yet since one of the headlights is out. I'm in love all over again. The interior is freakin' clean. Didn't take any pics of it since it was dark.

Yeah...the 70s celica is another one of those that I would love to collect.

Hopefully, I can start bringin' her out to the meets soon--even though she's a little rough. :D

haha...i'm kind of torn. I like the hatch more than the coupe, but I like the GTS more than the SR5. *sigh* :doh:

U will soon come to learn that those 14 inch Falkens will suck ASS when they hit very light rain. (Unless all tires do) cuz damn I was driftin in it on I-285 to I-20 east. They're great in heavy rain, and great in dry, but light rain makes it scary...

lol...been a while since I updated this thread.

Progress on the red '85 coupe:

installed - hi-flo cat (50 carb legal), resonator (forgot how long--over 12", I think :D ), magnaflow oval muffler...all welded together with 2.25" piping.

--sounds really good. --bassy and powerful

Also, new rotors and ceramic pads installed.

Oh, I also got a set of rims in. Some of you already know what they are. I'll take pics when I get the chance.

:camera: below:

--nice welds:::

Done... I know some of you are thinking, that the muffler must rub. The way it, currently sits, is perfect. Different from the pic above. It clears nicely.

It's really not that bad for me. Make sure you have tread. :D

Pimp man. What ya gonna do with the mesh wheels? Let me know if you want to ever get rid of em. Anyway youll love those pads...no dust barely. I just put some on mine about 3 weeks ago and I havent cleaned my wheels since. Youll love the magnaflow also, Thats what I have on the accord. Over time though it will probably get slightly quieter.

ah, that's right...you're 4x114.3, right? They'll probably end up on the '76 for a bit. :goodjob: I've had ceramic pads in the past and loved how clean they kept the rims... :yes: right now, the sound of the pad and rotor rubbing together is just real bad. I'm hoping it will quiet down after a bit of use. :tongue1:
