Finally found something worth restoring, not decided if ill go custom or ill restore to its original beauty.
Body is straigt, some rust spots. It runs but it needs a battery, carburator and revise the brakes.. the undercarriage is ok, not rusted. The car is original from alabama, so is southern vehicle. The interior is trashed. I had not seen it from the inside, but i drove 300 miles with a uhaul trailer, so i was not going back empty handed. We negotiated, i think i paid a little too much, but the price is under 800, that was his asking price.. Surprised it runs, and no major body issues... except the hood. So right now i just need to start to clean and make it drivable again Its a classic, and i finally found it. Now i have a 77 celica, and a 97 celica... lol 20 years later. Enjoy the pics, and take note.. Is a diamond in the rough....
