Thank you for this valuable video. My Montreal has been in a shop undergoing a complete engine rebuild for over a year now. Its always "nice to have one more thing resolved on the car."

Does it get any better than driving a manual 850r, listening to Tool? 😆

Wow

My first car was a '79 GT. All those noises brought back memories!

Sweet car ❤

My first car was a 1978 Celica GT Coup in gold. I loved it & wish I still had it.

How can it be that tesla has soooooo many more chargers than the non-tesla? are they using a different electric provider where they have exponentially more capacity?

Thanks for this. I own a Triumph Herald, my brother owns a Morgan. We’ve both heard the jokes before people even see the cars. I am willing to put down money that the reputation was started by competitors. Besides, self proclaimed experts will always gravitate toward a widely held rumour rather than personal experience. Ignorance takes very little effort.

Yoke will only make sense for the S once they get streer by wire.

20R. No G

I want this car for sale Where did he throw it?

BMW drivers like it.

Super cool to see that! I was not aware.

my wife asked why the indicator sounded different in the morning. could you compare a warm one to a cold one please?

Always cool to see tiny analog systems

self resetting circuit breaker..

That's incredible, thank you for doing the work and sharing. I've thought how these work, and figured it was a little motor in the relay that spins in circles and disconnects the hot 1 time every spin, or uses a wiper blade motor to go up and disconnect the circuit then drop down. How does it do that flicking motion like that to make the contact?? I know you say it used the load but I'm a little confused still!

Fascinating detective work! One of my favourite cars, that was a real achiever in its day! Won races, and had a 1500 engine, 20 years before it's rival, the BEETLE! And, apart from the special version made by Rometsch in Berlin, the Beetle never did get 4 doors! The Rometsch Beetle was stretched for some legroom in the back. Then they were used as taxis! Yours is a beautiful colour, by the way!

My first car was a silver '79. I LOVED that car and beat the snot out of it. I wish I still had it 40 years later.... I paid for it by doing a LOT of push ups at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. I bought it wrecked and rebuilt the front end.

I see worst

So true🤣

Wow, I think that's the most worn parts I've ever seen come out of anything...

Hey, Tom! Been loving the Tempting Fate Tours channel and just stumbled across your channel. Can't wait to watch through everything. Love the MGB content and I actually learned to drive in a Toyota Celica very similar to the one you're working on. Thanks for posting!

All vehicles need this design.

i learned to drive in an identical car

This is shown in the Jowett Javelin owners instruction booklet.

I have a 1950 r me with a stuck engine at present. Good to hear a. Riley sound happy motoring

Thanks for posting. It's helpful just to see stuff that you can't see with the front instrument panel there

Where did you source your parts? I need dashboard stuff for mine.

A real gt has an electronic fuel pump

this generation of Celica didn't sell much not only in my country, Greece, but in Europe in general...I guess it sold well in the US and Canada, maybe also in the rest of the world except Europe...and the next Celica generation, from 1981 till 1985 didn't sell well in Europe either...in fact only three Celica generations sold well in Europe, the 1970-1977 generation, the 1989-1993 generation and the 1999-2006 generation...

That is one cool 😎 dash

Just wondering do you still have it???

I had a 1971 Celica. I had a 1971 Corolla baby blue 4 speed had the 2 TC motor

thank you sir! appreciate the straight forward video!

The American GT is a decaffeinated Celica. The Celica GT for Europe came with a 18R-G engine, a much better engine.

They have hydraulic tappets way advanced at that time , they sold the patent to Rolls Royce . I know this because I use to two people who worked there, including my mum in the offices.

UPDATE: we pulled both half-shafts and found them to be completely intact. We then pulled the diff out of the axle and it was spectacularly broken with damage to every single component. My working theory is that it may have been run dry at some point, and the bearing gave out, causing a piece of metal to bind in the crown and pinion.

You aways need to carry two things when you drive a classic English cat, 2 carrots and a wire coat hanger, you can whittle new axles out of the carrots and in an emergency, you can make a new crankshaft out of the wire coast hanger.

It is very easy to remove the drive shafts after you remove the rear wheels. If one is broken you will probably have to remove the differential from the axle in order to get the broken piece out of the spline in the differential sun wheel. This is also quite an easy job: half shafts out, drain axle oil, disconnect propshaft from rear flange, undo the bolts that hold the final drive and differential in the axle casing, and pull the assembly out.

In the mid 1980’s we had 2 of these with 5 speed manuals on our driveway. A black on black interior‘78 GT lift-back with a rare sunroof and a green on tan interior ‘79 GT lift back. Both with manual steering - however the ratios were different. the '79 had less turns lock to lock and was nearly impossible to steer unless you were moving. The '78 was easier. The '78 had a 125 mph speedo while the '79 went only to 85. Both cars were incredibly reliable. The '78 had well over 100k miles at that time. I took my driving test in the green one back in ‘84. Both had the 20R 90 hp 2.2L engine and ran on Unleaded. My first car was a ‘76 Toyota Corona with the same engine. It didn’t have the catalytic converter and produced 96 hp on regular leaded gas.

My older sister got one, a 1978 lift back model after she graduated from high school. I took my first driving exam to get my license in it. It was an automatic so it wasn’t too hard to pass the exam. It’s great to see an example of car that I remember from my younger days in such great condition. Enjoy your Celica.

I grew up with a 1978 Toyota Celica GT Liftback. Learned to drive on it. It served the family well for nearly 40 years, until I had kids of my own, and learned that the 1978 design doesn't work for modern car seats. I had to get rid of it soon thereafter. PBS station was happy. But I miss it.

I had one! Dark Brown…loved that car!!
