This is the new project at the shop, just got started last friday, as you can see it will be a lot of work and time.

motor dropped into the car, mounts need to be fabbed up

SWEET. I <3 me some first gen Celicas.

Too bad its a '77 though... Is this gonna be done as a smog legal swap that will be able to be REF-approved?

Also... I hope to hell that that thing will have smiley bumpers on it when that project is done. lol

You can the 5mgte motor mount instead of having to fab new ones.

I looooooove Celicas
I have one in my driveway

I really wish I had the time/money/effort to rebuild a CElica like the one you're building

No such thing as a 5mgte, unless its a hybrid.

5mge, or 7mgte. Choose one. lol
