I'm very glad my car shares literally every mechanical component with a Celica,

Because the Corona needs a new radiator :( Got to canoe polo tonight in a cloud of steam, towed it home idling the whole way and it managed it, but its still buggered.

For those that don’t have the Corona Exiv where they live, its exactly 100% the same as these ones. Or maybe just the grey one.

I don’t know why, but it looks like the love child of a Toyota Solara and a Nissan Skyline R32. At least from the side. Awesome.

Edit: Soarer, not Solara. I don't know where the hell Solara came from.

I think the best thing is that I can swap in the engine and drivetrain from any Celica, including a GT-Four... 1100kg AWD 4 door turbo rally sedan anyone?

Dude, why have you not done this? If it's money, there are ways. Got extra stuff? Sell it. Got pets? Sell 'em. Got kids? Instead of selling them, hire them out! Ha ha.

Nothing in the radiator moves (of course discounting stuff going through it). It literally cannot be a mechanical component, technically speaking

Haha definitley money, and having another project car on the go, and still at school etc. Also getting it certified would be a long process, since we have a mandatory safety check, and an extra certification process for heavily modified cars. Lucky in most states in the US that you get away with no inspection haha! The one thing I do have over most people over there my age is that I have a complete, full, no-restrictions drivers licence, and I can’t buy alcahol yet, nor have I finished College/HS..

Nice. I'm US Air Force stationed in Spain and I'm trying to find the car that 25 or older to be my project car. Basically something I can bring back with me. It's no where near as difficult as I thought seeing as everyone sells their cars so damn cheap here. So what's your project?

I had the exact same thought. Also agreed on “awesome”.

A 1970 Triumph 2000. Pretty good condition, no rust, but the paint was destroyed. Just repainting it now.

That sounds awesome. How close to completing it?

Hopefully measurable in the unit of weeks..

Hopefully a small measure of weeks. Less than 52 right?

If I went to work on it every afternoon I could probably have it ready for paint in a week, its just having the time.
