  • Update! • 1972 Celica Barn Find....
    For too long Ian has hauled around the carcass of a vintage first generation Celica. Now is the time of its rebirth. We'll be occasionally re-releasing a lot of older footage from throughout the 10ish years of this project until we're up to date with the present and this old girl goes autocrossing. Stay tuned.
    Music is by the awesome Headlight Rivals. You can find the intro track from this episode at headlightrival...
    Lots of photos are from wikipedia. Outside sources of video have credits.

    I owned a 73 TA22 Celica.(in my youth) My favorite beloved pride & joy of all time. It was my daily driver/track car It was so much fun to drive. Unfortunately I had to sell it but it was becoming very rusty in all of the bad places. Enjoy the car mate & never let it go.

    I currently have a RA20 1971 (built in 1970) and I put a vinyl top on it. It caused the roof to rust out. Thankfully I snagged a roof back in the day and just need to weld it on.

      Vinyl tops are the enemy of these old dragons. My 73 had a new roof welded on to replace a worm hole ex-vinyl roof as well.

    I am so glad I watched this video, I didn’t know about TechnoToyTuning until this very moment. Now to find out if any of the TA22 parts fit on an RA24 🤣

    Nice build. Hope to build my 18rgu I got with my ra23 find. Love to se the engine build.

    • @oioracing
      @oioracing  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The engine was built by my guru Charlie out in Boulder and there’s no video of that sadly. But I have coolant to plumb and carbs to tune so there’s bound to be plenty of footage there.

    Remember when I said an update every week? HA! Well, life happens. But there are MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS in my progress and I'll be making a video soon to intro yet another Celica that I'm adding to my stable and this one.. you'll have to see to believe.

    It's like Toyota downgraded when they shifted to Fwd, same with the Corollas they should've stayed Rwd.

    Looks like you have NOT been working on her for 10 years.

      that’s a fact

    So much hate on the 2nd gen 🥲 I’ve got a 79 coupe and 77 coupe both beautiful cars

    • @oioracing
      @oioracing  ปีที่แล้ว

      The coupes aren't too bad... but I bet that 77 looks way better when they sit side by side. Even with big rubber bumpers.
