Toyota Celica TA23

[pole drift]

Hey guys,

Been away for a long while, been up to no good. Seen this, liked it, bought it, and will probably throw stones at it!!

Havnt a fucking notion what im actually gonna do with the thing. It was an ex rally car, needs an engine. Its far from mint, but that doesnt bother me. No idea what im even gonna do with the styling of the car, torn between rally or street style

Guna be an awsome build man, best of luck with it! I see how your torn between styles, both look crazy... What would the engine choice be? N/A or a turbo engine?

To be honest anything with trumpets is awesome, especially when on full chat!

[derek89]

whats a Cefiro?

[jonnyrb]

Oh yes, love these, such a cool car.... Much rust on the shell?
My vote goes with street style, i also like the idea of a screaming 20v.

[Brendanfd3s]

K20 on itbs would be savage there's just not enough poke in a 20v. Few nice extras and a remap on a k20 will leave you up near 300bhp and reliable as f@&?€£$%#k. Love these tho just like that pic

[LarZ]

would love to see more pics of this shell. Deadly project

[pole drift]

Ill let the pictures do the talking

UK reg, im not sure how much its gonna cost to VRT it. I still have to collect it, having trouble organising a trailer, its sitting down in Nenagh.

I think it would be nicer with a street style

[PS13!]

no sure ill never be able to find another one

So I finally managed to get her home. The shell isn't bad considering the age of the car, bits of rust here and there and area's will need to be replaced. The one thing that is annoying is the bonnet is fucked, i reckon the rust has gone too far to save it. The front wings are non existent but iv two brand new fibreglass wings for it so not much to worry about there, if I can find a fibreglass bonnet ill be sorted.

I uploaded this picture onto Facebook and i had to laugh at the abuse that I got over it. Im fully aware that I have the Cefiro to finish, and one of the reasons that its not finished is I'm waiting for the rear arches to be flared to fit the wheels, and then its off to paint.

Anyway ill upload more pics as the work is carried out.

Plans for it are as follows:

Remove and replace rust
Jun style arches
Respray
Fully flocked interior and dash
Roll cage painted the same colour as the car
Replace wiring loom
4age

Do your own thing in your own time, don't mind the abuse from others.

[Kruizer]

Beams engine on ITB's with proper management will make 250bhp n/a all day.

Here's the specs of the car as it sits

Full bolt in roll cage
Sparco fixed back bucket seats
Plumbed in fire extinguisher
4age TRD gearbox
Selection of wheels (unsure of the brands if anyone can help me, the wheels on the car are brand new)

Pretty tempting, Iv a lot to do before I nail down what engine I'm gonna use.

I had a good look at the car last night, apart from the bonnet the worst section for rust on the shell is where the drivers door meets the rear quarter panel.
