This is Tiger Lily, a 1977 Toyota Celica GT Tiger Edtion.   She runs, just looks a lil rough.  She is of course a work in progress.

So far all that has been done in the last few weeks:

Its been bought

Cleaned up some on the inside/windows

Tires refilled with air

Bad tire replaced with spare (which went flat also)

Moved it to Gardner-Webb

Washed it after borrowing a tire from my friend's AE-86 

Broken passenger mirror replaced 

The brakes bled

New tires put on the wheels

Put rust converter on bad spots

Brake master cylinder replaced

Oil change done

Well you can add me to that list as well. Picked up my 77 gt liftback a month ago. I'm down here in Pinellas Park, Fl. You're about a year ahead of me but I'll catch up. Keep up the great work on tiger, she's earned it.

This car looks strangely familiar.... Good to see another 1GC member on CarDomain! Keep up the great work on the car, there are very few of us to represent the vintage Celica's on the East coast.
