Just some info about me and the car. Its my second Celica the first being an RA60 Liftback 21R-C engine W57 gearbox, mods included body kit, and exhaust as I built it for my daughter as her first car, bought as a running junker rebuilt what needed doing resprayed, re uphosltered etc, pics attached. Daughter now drives an SP23 sold the Sillycar. The guy who bought it had some low lifes torch it on his front lawn, to say he was ****** off is an understatement.
Anyway the RA65 was bought as the daughter wanted me to upgrade the RA60 (ie make it look like a RA65), phoned my mate Dave at Sleeka Spares in Adelaide told him what we wanted to do, the only "wreck" he had was more suited to restoring then wrecking, so we went for a drive had a look (head blown in #2 and #3) bought it and started work on it. Meanwhile the RA60 was sold.
Turns out the RA65 has a very unique history, apparently it was built fo the 85 Tokoyo motor show, then shipped to Aus where a Toyota employee puchased it. When the engine blew he had had enough and sold it to Sleeka Spares, the next day I just happened to phone and hey presto its ours.
My plans are to restore it due to its history (still waiting on confirmation from the dudes that run the Tokoyo Show they need more info on the car), but my son (well it will be he's car) want to turn it into an 22RE-T or S and drift it. It has all the good gear W58 box, IRS (change to MA61 Supra LSD). Anyway the pics attached (coupe) are when we looked at it in Sleeka Spares Also is a link to Dave, he has helped me out so many times with all those hard to get little pieces, so as my way of thanks I like to give him a plug http://www.sleekaspares.com.au/
