Damn dude you did a lot more than a swap! Good work! Whether you care or not you're improving & restoring it even if it's not a complete restoration or upgrade.
Haha ya the video got kinda long! Made lots of progress! Next video i’ll install the weber 32/36 and then attempt to start and drive it for the first time👍🏼
@@Mechanic_kid Looking forward to it! Love your videos. Sometimes I can tell when you're going to do something that's not ideal (imo) but you always pull through in the end usually with a even better solution than I was thinking of! I still have a lot to learn and experience myself as well especially when it comes to swaps I've watched a lot of them & have the gear to do one now but haven't purchased one, yet.
That car may have close to 95k miles. Still in good shape im so surprised so many years. That car was my first car when i was in high school back in 85. It is awesome that a kid like you appreciate a car like this from the past. 2 thums up for you on my end. 👍 👍
I commend you for sticking with it. Your cheeks are going to ache from smiling so much the first time you take this thing on rip. Love the NASCAR look rim/tire package.
Still loving your videos! We laugh all the time when you have to do something (mount transmission to engine first, and other things) because we have been through the exact same thing over the last year. :)
Hands on learning is great, you can invent your own ways as long as you do things safely. Actually following online info has lead me astray lol but also helped me at the same time. Got a set of Flare crow foot wrenches a major piece I was missing in my toolset due to online info, downside was initially I ordered the wrong size because the online information told me the wrong size, so now I have a whole set instead. Watching now! Most likely just got driven off-road does not take much to grime up a car on even just a gravel road.
good job for sticking with it. you definitely did it the hard way, you could have merely put a jack under the trans and jacked it back up into position as you had it just hanging there. the engine would have damn near just slid on.
I love your videos keep up the good work buddy and it can be really hard sometimes to have no help and for someone to be around to kind of guide you with some of it but if you can't find it on TH-cam usually you can ask around and find out information on how to do something but you were doing an awesome job sometimes it does help to take pictures of the things you're about to take apart so you have a guide to put it back together with or just record yourself taking it apart that can help too either way you're doing a great job and I'm proud of you
I think you have learned a lot along the way, personally i think a little bondo and paint on the door ( patina is over rated!! ) looking forward to seeing it run and drive soon!!
well kid am very prou of you because today is not to many joung guy's that put a love an a passion that you put on that over that you said few time that you dont care but I can said for sure that you really care because you put a lot of efort to make this Celica look way better that when you bring it and I can tell you that you remaind me when I was under your age because I was only 16 years old when I start working with car's doing mechanic and then start passionate doing a body work as welland sure every body make a few mistakes when start doing this kind of proyect what are you doing is a restoration of the car that was seatting in a yunkyard for over 25 yearsand you doit you star a bad engine at the third try unfortunaly the engine was bad fixable but bat for that proyect, secon ehen you clean a bay you must clean the tranny housing and the whole bay , means crossmember iner fender's fire wall and all the stuff on the path but hey you do a great job for be your fist time doing this that's way am proud of you and the must important thing is that you doing by your self there is where you make me proud os youright now the way that the car is start looking is wonderfull and I going to gave you some adviceses if you want to tak it from and old man like because like I tell you I satrt messing with cars in both ways mechanic and body works to the point that I lear as well how vto work with fiberglass on metal cars right now am 65 years old and I fill like am acoplish my destiny because over be a truck driver and do mechanic those are my personal passion's driving and work with cars unfortunaly I dont have the budget to aford buy abandoned cars and restored as you are doing now so keep gping because you are going in the right path of your life and sooner you going to said AM a fighter and I will not quit on any car that I satr working on it and you will be a great car's rebuilders I guaranty you that if you keep going like you do now that will be your destiny make money doing this kind of job because you show me that you are a hard worker and wont quit on doing that kind of work GBY and keep gping thanks for remaind me my self when I was joung
Super hard to get an engine onto the bay and onto the box like that - you see people do it all the time in old auto V8s etc because its easier to get the torque convertor to seat than it is to get the spline into - glad you didn't spend too much time with the box on . Car looks like a worthy project - interested to see how the 18R-C fits in the shorter RA21 chassis.
Weren't bad cars had one a 77 max out at 113...cleaning up alot of guys use wd 40..let soak paint brush set again then use one of those garden pump sprayers to wash down..n yr dent access it from the inside remove door panel use your foot with sock on and push a little at a time done a few that way
I would LOVE to know the history on this car. My mom had one 30 years ago. lol If you did any history on it if not, o well. Indiana car if it was my mom's was in my Dad's name. Doesn't narrow it down, but gives you info to see if it is even worth looking into further. :P
I sold it back to the original owner. He got the car as a high school graduation gift from his parents. Here’s his video: th-cam.com/video/yDvsJmn9lFM/w-d-xo.html
@@Mechanic_kid awesome either way, it was cool just seeing the videos, and recalling some memories! Great job on it. Most people could care less about cleaning and sorting the annoyances out. Usually it just takes some fiddling, or $1000's worth of tools lol. But always worth the leaning curve (hopefully)
Hey dude. I have a really cool way to get those dents out of the door, without even messing up the outside! (no holes or anything) Here's what you do... Remove the inside panel of the door. Then, put a medium sized deflated ball inside the door. (maybe a deflated soccer ball or volleyball) Lastly, you get an air pump and a needle and inflate the ball. The dent then pops out. It works every time! (If there are no metal cross beams inside the door where the dent is, you may have to improvise with a flat metal bar) ... I'M A HOME MECHANIC FROM WAY BACK. I know a lot of little hacks and shortcuts when working on cars. If you ever want to know anything, just hit me up in a D.M. ---------->>> And, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND EXCELLENT VIDEOS!

@@Bawkr Every project has its own unique challenges and I am constantly learning👍🏼
Young man you are doing one hell of a job, I give you credit, one guy working alone and doing it, you will get it done.
I admire ur patience,really hard to work without somebody to help you
Very impressed with your patience and work ethic.
I appreciate it! Trying my best and learning everyday 😁🤟🏼

Thanks Raymundo🙏🏼
Wish I was as motivated at your age when I had my hatchback 1972 Toyota Corona - great job, love your video!
Thanks🙏🏼
New subscriber here. Thanks for the video! I have an 18rc in my 70 corona and this helps a ton!

This is legit epic, well done man!
Great job, fun watching you learn.

haha you learn from your mistakes very fast working on cars
Crazy watching your vid's knowing this is 30 years later from me having the car.
Wow wow 😮
Need a paint job and dam will it look good

Great advice Joshua! Thanks for the support🙏🏼
You should looked up for a 2TG or even a 3TG engine from a later model of this Celica
keep up the motivation kid 1 u doing good!
😎👍🏼🙏🏼
Start on the outside of the dead and work your way to the middle. Also the longer you burn the stud the harder it sticks to the metal
I think you have learned a lot along the way, personally i think a little bondo and paint on the door ( patina is over rated!! ) looking forward to seeing it run and drive soon!!
Thanks for the support Barry!
Yeah I still need to go get some parts from him pre paid. He's about 115 miles from me.

It kinda looks cool with the stud weld spikes on. Looks like bullet holes ahha.
That’s exactly what I thought too!

You call it a piece of junk. You literally can't find them in AZ, hell they are rare on the west coast in any condition.
Wondering on what state ypu can do all that on the street like that
Ever find out if that master cylinder worked? I need a brake master cylinder for my celica and can't get an original one.
Yes it work. Link in the description
If you don't care about the car can I have it I love it
Where is the Weber carb video?
Maybe name it Inuyasha?
Good job bro if I was closer I’d give you an extra vise I got . Good job though especially being on your own.

He needs to watch some youtube vids on how to use a stud gun and puller instead of making a video:)
You should improve more
Bitter beer face bumper😂😂😂
I would install a 22r make it easy and simple
