This is my 1979 Toyota Celica that Ive had since 1991....When i bought it it was completly stock It was brown, and it had whitewall tires ....the only pic i got of it brown...toy305's 1979 Toyota Celica
In 1992 I painted it, the color u see got it from a 1992 Geo Prizm....I added the rims and tires, headers, a flow master muffler and sidedraft mikuni's ,Hi compresion TRD pistons and a mild cam......drove around like that for years...

In 1998 I decided to go turbo...Here are some pics of that...there was no turbo kit, so every thing was custom made by me and my friends...I used the low compresion pistons that came in the toyota pickup, went and got some weber carbs and had them sealed for turbo....
