Wow that’s a whole lot of car (from a UK POV and compared to the Celica), it looks rot free, is it? What are your and your sons plans?

Congratulations — I’m sure the two of you will have a lot of fun with it!

Got a plan on what you want to do yet, or thinking? It looks pretty nice—

That is almost a shooting skate. With a carburetor. And an A/C compressor that requires 50 horsepower to operate. What engine?

Cool

Hope gas stays cheap

And if your son can parallel park that, he will be able to parallel park anything

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!

Some people will say this is a terrible first car. Those people are wrong. If he can learn to park that beast, he can park any damn thing.

Building my monte with my dad is one of the high points of my life. My relationship with my father probably wouldnt exist if it werent for building it with him.

I’d put a robust two-legged rear end in that and some performance parts and do some proper burnouts.
