Undertaker_is_the_best Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 (edited) well guys and girls i finally got my first project toyota and its a 74' Ta22 celica and when i upload pics it will seem like a lot of work but all worth it in the end it is just a rolling shell at the moment the first few pics are as it was when i got her and yea there is qutie some rust but its not as bad as a mate of mines basically most of the rust is on the drivers side. these are pics before i picked it up tell me what you guys think the idea is that i want to get it on the road soon so i will post some more pics as the last two days i have been tackling the body work as i have no job atm so i have endless time on my hands so i started to sand back the body and locate anymore rust NOTE THIS CAR WILL MOST LIKELY BE THE NEXT PROJECT THE SLIDING TA22 WITH A CA18DET OR SR20DE Edited July 12, 2010 by Undertaker_is_the_best Quote

What colour are you going? What engine is going into it? well my mate that owns the yellow one SLW42 aka justin and i have been thinking on a colour that we think will stand out quite well its either the VE commodore light green colour or i was even thinking has anyone seen the new E2 HSV green(if not then go past springwood holden its on top of a container) lol and as far as the engine it will start out stock i got a mate how said i can have a 3t off his old man so that will probably go in then down the track possibly a 3tgte love the ta22s great shape hmmm i recon matalic orange on ssr meshies flared gaurds lowered drop a 3sge in it mmm :wink: looks like a sweet base pretty straight needs abit of work but thats the idea of a project right :jamie: -mitch not sure on the orange but its a possiblitly and definitly lowered and possible meshies You seem like a guy with a genuine interest in it, Good luck with the build. yea been a fan for them for quite some time and manly cause i really like justins celica as well and trust me there will be heaps of pics as the build progress thanks for the comments guys Quote
Undertaker_is_the_best Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Posted October 28, 2009 well today was a lazy day basically has a day off cause i did so much on it the last 2 days its not funny i will put some more pics up now so yesterday i finished removing the paint on the roof and basically just painted a bit of the engine bay in satin black to see what it would look like. and today well justin gave me some shocks out of his white Ke70 that he has been parting out as the celica didnt have any and well bolted them in i probably will replace with new ones but for now the help and well went to oxley wreckers and grabbed the shock bushes and bolts as they werent there as well i will post a pic of the engine bay and painted front end section pic of the front panel painted satin black this is inside the engine bay its not completed but you get the idea just playing around see what looks good this is what the roof looks like needs to still be sanded back Quote
JiP Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 Don't go orange, thats what I'm doing :wink: hmm That Commodore sounds like it'll be hard to reach :jamie: Oh and why not put a K engine in it? lOl ;) Quote
seabiscuit Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 ;) to your effort so far. You must be serious about getting this done! Especially the hard bits. It's not my opinion, but I can't really see a Celica (especially TA22) going a stand-out green colour. Also since you're a fan of the Undertaker a dark colour would suit "you" more. Have you got an inspirational pic of what you want it to look like? Oh and why not put a K engine in it? lOl ;) :wink: :jamie: ;) Quote

67Rolla-Ken Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 If you can make it look like a fast back, go for it! :wink: These look good in almost any colour, too hard to pick. Quote
JiP Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 I like the headlights on the last one!! But the colour, wheels and the bridge on the first. lOl Quote
