My son (16 y.o.) has been offered an ’82 Celica liftback at a really good price from a relative of ours. Wondering if this is a vehicle that lends itself to modification? (I know he’ll want to modify it. He’s been involved in club motorsport for a few years, and a stock Celica is probably not going to cut it.) So, are there reasonable bang for buck upgrades possible, or would we be trying to “make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear” so to speak?
As far as I know, the car is stock at the moment with a 2.0 litre carburetted 21R-C engine and 5-speed manual.
Thanks.
