This is my 1971 Toyota Celica. My dad purchased it new in california. He drove it until 1981 when he had a new 18RG DOHC Dual sidedraft carburetored engine put in. After the motor was put in the car never drove right and he eventually parked it and got a new car.
It was parked next to my house covered with a tarp and forgot about. I eventualy uncovered it and thought it was a cool car but never got interested in it. It was moved to make room for a new garge we had built. Not long after it was moved i met my best friend who was in to these cars, and wanted to see it, when he pulled the trap off it and saw that it was a 1971 celica he was aleady excited but when we got the hood open finally and he saw that it had the 18RG we decided to start working on it.
This it the motor going back in. the pictures of it coming out are on a different computer. We found out from my dad that he only put like 50 miles on this motor. We took the cam cover and the oil pan off and inspected the engine, the engine was brand new.
Update. When i return home for summer we are going to add MSD wires and belts and hoses and attempt to start her.
