Beginning ... - Toyota Celica, 2.0 L, 1982

Once, traveling on the Internet, without any goals and intentions, I went to the core, immediately on the main page I saw a nondescript gray car, which fully corresponded to my tastes in terms of appearance, even on an awesome casting!
I fell in love with her at first sight! She hooked me not weakly, but not having the necessary, albeit not a large amount, I was not particularly obsessed. But I really wanted to get it, every day I looked to see if it was sold ... I told my friends about it, they all saw it too, everyone also liked it, especially for the money. As a result, three days later something clicked in my head, I fussed in advance, found the money that I needed, and went to watch it ... Arriving at the place, seeing everything + and - made a decision! She is mine! 2 days later I have it in the garage!
Never been a fan. I never hunted for this model, etc. I just liked her! I had no idea what I bought! After spending the night at the computer, I realized that I was very lucky and that I became the owner of a far from simple car!

A little history of my Celica ...
It existed as a simple car for every day, unfortunately it was in an accident, the rear part was damaged. Then the owner thought to do it, but since had a couple of problems with her, he did not bother and decided to sell it. Vladivostok racers bought it from him, planned to restore it a little, install a four-liter engine and participate in drift competitions, but since they had three more projects in parallel and one of the team had a baby, they decided to sell it, but managed to disassemble it almost completely ... As a result, it was bought by a guy from Ussuriisk for spare parts. he already had such a rear sight only of a different color, but he did not take almost anything from it, he put the charger engine in his entirety and the native engine was freed from his rear sight. I bought it from him, he sold both pillars, so he had nothing to s / h on them, in the end, I got the whole XX itself, completely disassembled but all in the set!, two engines of her own and an engine from his second rear sight and s / h that he had accumulated for all the time that he skated on the rear, because they no longer need him.

Photo report:
I decided to take a photo of it before I started working on it.
Rust, how without it ?! The car is 28 years old! Despite everything, it is very well preserved!
