Hi all,
I am on the look out for an old RWD Toyota Celica as a project car.
I am looking for a TA23 or RA23 Celica. I know these cars are very rare, I have already spent 6 months looking but haven't found anything that fits the bill!
I am very good at mechanical and electrical work but I really need the car to have a good chassis and bodywork.
I know these cars are very, very susceptible to rust so I am not expecting to find a car that's even 80% rust free, but I don't want to have to spend thousands getting new arches, liners and floor welded in if I can help it.
If anyone has something even vaguely similar to the above for sale, or has seen something similar then plase let me know.
Thanks in advance ;D
Jon

Thanks for the replies!
Yes I had spotted both of those cars on eBay. Geez, these cars are going for bloody good money at the moment!!
I think that the flatlight was too far gone for me, and the RA28 GT is probably too good, as well as being too expensive for me! That RA28 could be something really special when finished...
Something in between the two of those would be good!
I guess I will just have to keep looking for the time being, hopefully something will come up in the near future.
If anyone hears of a member selling their Celica or spots one for sale then please let me know.
Thanks,
Jon

I had seen that blue 1975 one, on first impression it looked pretty nasty and I wasn't interested - but I have now just sent him a message to see if he still has it. Having seen what the flatlight went for on eBay and the condition that was in, this car may not be that bad! I'll see where he is located and whether it's worth going to have a look.
You're car is a beast BTW, and one of the first ones that I saw on the internet that gave me a real urge to go out and buy one for myself!!

No it's a 70's Celica that I am after. I just love the shape of the 70's TA/RA's!
