Takumi style RA60 Celica project

[Tetsuo]

Hi Guys,

Long time lurker here, been on 5 other Toyota forums depending on my current car, but been a Toyota owner for many years.

My sons favorite TV Show is "Initial D" and we've been watching it together so I can explain stuff he doesn't understand.
He decided he wanted a Takumi car to learn how to drift and I worked out the closest thing in size, weight and affordability was an RA60 Celica.
So after 4 months we FINALLY found an RA60 project car to work on and this is the document of the build.

This is NOT going to be a full bare metal restoration. This is strictly a "Ghetto Mod" build.
We'll be replacing broken parts with cheapass salvaged parts to fix what needs fixing.
We'll be welding up rust holes, hacking together parts from other cars and hammering stuff into submission.
We'll be spraypainting the car with the finest rattle cans "Cheap as Chips" can provide.
We'll be keeping it off the road until the defectable items are repaired.

No effort will be spared to save money and avoid hard work.
