june 2009 : Well, I took the long way to do this but I bought a house and I'm currently working on my garage so I can work on this project. I took the stock engine (8rc) and transmission (3speed aut.) out of it and bought a 22r with celica 5 speed transmission. I will have some work to do on the engine since I want to make it a little more powerful that the approx. 125hp it deliver (if someone have a good setup that's not to expensive, let me know).  I also bought every rubber seals and moulding that I needed thanks to Carlyn Dinkler cdinkler@bellsouth.net (this car have spend 10 year under trees and as you can see It looks horrible). I will start body work soon. I now need to find a way to upgrade brakes (if someone have an idea...) since the originals ones are too small. I only hope that it wont take me another 3 years to make some progress.

feel free to give me some advices and ideas.
thanks.

oh.. yeah.. I almost forgot, if some needs a 8rc (w/ carburator, alternator, strater, etc..) or the 3 speed transmission that goes with it, I got nothing to do with it now.
