Ah, great! Got to watch that right now!
Not sure if it is too late for suggestions but chrome arms holding the front bumper could look neat and cover the hole. Maybe even painted instead of chrome. It is more of a US thing for cars of this period (and older) but I personally just like the look of it as if the bumper is held up by them.
Something coming up from beneath like a Corvette C1 had.
11:41 is there a reason that you didn’t remove the engine from the bottom? Disconnect everything then drop the engine/subframe/suspension.
I luv this project btw.
Mine switch was 22R , had to cut Cross member . Had to do it over again opt Ford 289 , oil pan should clear cross member , Chevy 350 definitely won't fit .
Sarah, where do you get the music for your time lapse? My wife and I are making a porno...
Back in early 1971 when my father worked for the Toyota manufacturing plant in Melbourne Australia, we got the first one of the line. It really turned heads back then.
Wooowwww!
AUSSIE rule 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 where women glow and men THUNDER. I come from the land down under.
@@tphvictims5101 They plunder, bro. They plunder. And they also chunder.
It still does………cool car.
Still turns heads today too, you don’t see many anymore
Yellow LED fog lamps (round obviously) in place of the mini turrets! (Bumperette shock absorber)
I don’t see enough wrong with the paint to warrant a full repaint, tho. I’d keep it oLd SkOoL with the original paint…… as a sleeper.
Great build, Sarah! Looks like it’ll be a lot of fun to drive!
I decontent side rub strips and remove flappy. Vynal roof dealers added those options to jack up. Prices profit
maybe a Toyota MR2 Spyder 2000 fog to keep it Toyota?
Fogs yes, but not yellow or LED. they should be clear, period correct (or at least period correct looking) rectangular lights to match the front valance turn signals. I don't have a Celica to check the exact dimesions but I'm sure Hella would have had something of the correct size at that time.
Unfortunately I think trimming the bumper is a forgone conclusion.
Yeah I was thinking fog lights or just welding patches in and getting it rechromed.
It’s not original paint, it’s a respray
The wheels are the Daytona series, made by Carrol Shelby Inc in 1983-84. They had a 4-lug and a 5-lug variant, and were Shelby's first modular alloy wheels. I had them on my 83 Toyota pickup. Great wheels.
Yeah they look nice but to make them even nicer a quick polishing & buffing and the full set will shining like chrome wheels..
Yes, sold at the dealer though Direct Connection. Her wheels are causing a stir on the FWD Mopar groups! 😄
Yes my ae85 had a similar set of Shelly wheels I think it was a dealer option for Toyotas.
@@stopbuyingstuff5522 No, they were sold exclusively at Dodge dealers. Nothing to do with Toyota.
@@poplaurentiu4148 We all know that's coming in a future episode, it's a Sarah thing,..
My 74 Challenger had bumper guards that looked very similar to those. They're sitting in a box somewhere in the back of the garage. Whacked my knees on them one too many times. After 40 years I don't think I'm going to put them back on. Welcome to the 70's !
Being a boomer who worked on cars in my teens, this was very nostalgic… particularly the simplicity and abundance of work space these classics had in the engine bay. This build is awesome. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
They thought of so many little details even back then that make it easy to work on. Super well built!
Yes I have a couple of scars from working on these
Those wheels were in the Shelby wheel catalog when I was a kid. Early eighties Shelby Daytona I think. Your review on the Celica was great, can't wait to watch the whole series.
I bought a set of 13" Shelby wheels for my old '74 Dodge Colt in 1987. They had a minilite type design. The looked pretty good on that car.
i had a Shelby Daytona in the eighties. wrong wheel type. more similar to the Daytona Turbo Z or GLH(S), etc. like she said. but they look strictly aftermarket to me.
My Shelby Charger was 85 and the Daytona was 88. Both cars had 5 bolt wheels. It was all K and PL cars so I don't know what would have had 4 bolt lugs.
Before I hit reply, I checked on the cobra 2 mustang. 4 bolt lugs so 70's mustang wheels is my guess
@@duckrutt The early Shelby Chargers had 4-lug wheels... I know this because I pit crewed for a Showroom Stock driver back in the day and we broke a hub at Mid Ohio.
@@SolamenteVees I didn't know that, thanks. The last time I moved I had to get rid of my old Mopar Performance catalogs so all I had were old memories of cars I haven't owned in.. I don't really want to do the math.
My wife had bought a new 1974 Toyota Celica ST. That car was so dependable. I hadn't seen one in many years until you decided to do your automotive magic, making it better than ever!!!
I’ve found a few in mint condition for sale, they’re typically $15-20k
@@SarahnTuned Holy Cow. I got one of these back in '84 or 5. All I had to do was tow it out of the guy's front yard. All it needed was new brakes (which had some annoying Black Widow spiders camping out in them) and fluids. If I knew then, what I know now, I would never have sold it. I miss the mid '70s Japanese cars. They are such a blast to drive.
My new favourite you tube channel, awesome stuff Sarah... 👏
I know you don't like chrome on a car but I think the chrome bumpers would look great with that color.
I concur, chrome was part of what made the 70s cars look so good
I agree. Period correct and original is the best look for this baby.
I agree with you guys, even though I'm not a big fan of chrome. But for this car, chrome trim would be period correct.
Yes, the chrome is strong with this one.
The front turn signals blend with the shape and "color" of the chrome bumper for a bit of a wraparound look. Painting it would ruin that. The signals would be odd blocks just sitting there.
I honestly think this needs to be a sleeper, with original patina as far as possible.
No, I don’t do patina. It’s going to have a perfect paint job in the factory color.
If you're looking for patina, you've come to the wrong place. Sarah is a perfectionist.
@@michaelblacktree
Patina is perfection. You can’t outdo Mother Nature.
Another fantastic video from my favorite You-tuber!
I am riveted by this build.
This is such a great project. Amazing how good a condition that car is. Can’t wait to see what the v8 looks like in there
10:35 who cares about the paint when you're looking at that beautiful landscape 😍
Really appreciating the “Mechanics Croptops”!!!
Had to stop the video at 10secs and tell you I loved the COD seeing red from jumping to high up reference. Classic!!!
I am sure someone will want that Celica engine. You make things seem easy, even though they may not be. Nice.
Yep, I’ll hold onto it until someone restoring one of these needs it.
Had these engines in my old rx-30 cressidas here in New Zealand, was only an 18-R though, first cressida was an auto and the second one was a 5 speed stick shift, first one got written off by a city bus rear ending it and the second I sold because of running issues, did make more money than I bought and put into it...
15:55 be extremely careful if you cut those ends off, a lot of cars of that era had compression rods to absorb the impact, and some were gas charged. Cutting it could be the equivalent of setting off a bomb
All u have to do is drill a small hole in the end of the shock to release the pressure gently, if it has those type of bumpers.
Only in America as overseas version didn't have those bumperettes and they looked much better without them.
In 1976 I bought my first car, it was a 1974 white Toyota Celica ST. What a fun car it was in that era, small, nimble, I was driving it hard even though it was underpowered. I have fond memories of that car. I just can’t wait to see the completed project. 😃😃😃
Love her appreciation for nice hardware.
Thanks for the video Sarah and Angel.
So happy for this!!! You're videos truly brighten my day.....and I really needed this today!!! Keep up the great work!!
I’ve avidly watched all (well I checked out of the beetle) of you projects but this is the best one yet.
Big fan of Toyota and Lexus. Great job dismantling and looking forward to more on the Celica.
Probably gets said a lot but Sarah, you have great choice in music for your videos.
Love this series! Also, mad props for your editing skills! The red jump at the beginning was choice. Also my wife is a fan of angel food cake. This episode was so fun. Thank you!
Haha, tell her he has his own channel too. th-cam.com/video/qV7gknqsCtI/w-d-xo.html
Nice vintage car. I too like the mustard color.
My high school sweetheart’s grandmother had a Celica like this in the 1990s and was retired. Everything was well kept and like the Celica, everything was preserved from the 1970s. This was a fun and reliable car.
Great, the progress of the Tom Celica project 👍👍
Very quick work to pull the entire power train. Besides the bumperettes, there's bound to be more surprises on a car from the 70s. Very excited to take the journey with you.
MAYBE KILL THE BUMPERETTES? WHAT DO YO THINK?
Sarah... You're awesome, and I love your project cars.
MANY THANKS FOR SHARING......
Hello Sarah. I grew up with these cars and am enjoying this build.
As for the bumper, if you don't mind having it rechromed, you could fill those indentations and cut the chrome heads off the bolts, and weld the bolts into the holes, and have a completely smooth bumper ( old school custom trick). I would either try to find some pre 73 bumper brackets, or JDM, which wouldn't have the bumper shocks ( do not cut or heat those), or just fab new ones. By filling the bolt holes, you could weld mount bolts anywhere you need them, for a fabricated bracket. Love everything about the project, and your videos! (fan for life). ✌️😊👍
Edit: Another bumper trick: to make the bumper fit the body closer, cut a short section out of the center, so the ends of the bumper don't extend past the fender. Works very nicely on cars with the bumper so well integrated into the design.
Omg love her sense of humour couldn't stop 😆😆...so entertaining.
Content is great to watch 👍👍
I was built in 1971 and my hardware is still golden.
Much awaited, much appreciated excellent work as always.
Great job on the video Sarah and Angel! Thanks for making it. I actually kinda dig the bumperettes.
I love how you're bringing new life to a classic like this!
Comedy Gold in this video! Nice work @Sara -n- Tuned
please keep the colour of that beautiful celica. the wheels are awesome too.
I think this all of the time, but always end up liking her choice more.
Color stays, wheels go as they’ll be worthless with the amount of power this will have. Need something twice as wide out back and there’s no options for 13” tires anymore.
@@SarahnTuned understand. I´m sure you´ll find beautiful replacement wheels. grüße aus dem kalten deutschland.
Run the bumperettes. That’s what made it a ‘74.
@@joemanco5864
I thought that they started in 73, then changed the size in 74. Then in 75 I know that they had the big ass bumpers. I had a 75. Would love to find one again!
Mount some fog lamps pointing down on the front bumper. Some new LED round amber ones would look great and fit right in the round spots on the bumper.
Hi Sarah, love your content! I had a 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, my first car handed down from my dad in 1982. Loved that car, very similar to the 1974 Celica. I purchased the exact same wheels for my corolla as you have on the Celica, I bought them from Pep Boys in 1982! I even had the same tires, BF Goodrich Radial T/A's! Sometimes wish I kept that car, my canyon racer!
I love how you throw those jokes and innuendos all the time when working, priceless!😂😍 Your plans for Celica seems really my cup of coffee! Any plans to steering? Add booster or rack maybe? Suberb job and great video as always! Cheers!
Many of us watch her for her fun, quirky jokes and innuendos as well as her beauty and skills. What a combo !
Like her SIMPson reference... lol
I wish you would do a whole video on your history, your story... you're an inspiration to a lot of people.
@@gregrsvr3947 Sure, I know the story, well, some of it, but I'd love to know more!
Damn, a dose of Sarah's innuendo and humor saved the day! Thanks for being awesome.
I think you should keep the two front "bumperettes" It's part of the model and really does designate it's year of manufacture.
As far as bumperettes go these ones actually DO add to the look of the car. And the chrome is a big part of the classic look - not to mention its "sleeper" appeal.
They are hideous and only a U.S. thing, they’re going away.
@@SarahnTuned had them up here in CanaChinaZuela too. Your car, your choice. All the best with this build. I shoulda kept mine....
@@SarahnTuned - Here's a random thought: Brake cooling ducts?
@@SarahnTuned They are glorious, but it's your car to make as boring as you like.
Hi Sarah. The Dodge Daytona Shelby had those same wheels.
Shave the bolts on the bumper. Weld in plates to eliminate the cut outs. Steel bumpers take on a whole new loo without bolt heads everywhere. That bumper has the styling to really become sleek with smooth line without pimples...
I just wanted to say you're doing great Sarah!
I have a fancy idea for the bumperette cutout: Since you will probably use bigger brakes, how about brake cooling ducts there with hoses going to the brakes? Not sure if that would even be possible since a million things might be in the way of the hoses, but it would certainly look cool. Another cool option to hide the hole would be Cibie Oscar rally lights. Got a pair of those on my Fulvia Coupe, looks 🔥
Hey Sara, you can extend the boom of that hoist by undoing the bolt and pulling it out. Every hole you extend it lessens the weight you can lift, but should be fine for the engines you remove
You think she's too dumb to figure that out?
For the front bumper, fog/rally lights with the bracket on the holes in the bumper and the lights below covering the cutout.
The chrome bumper looks old school cool..
Always a joy to watch you work! And I'm really enjoying how you interact more and more with Angel Food Cake! A good welder could probably fill in those cutouts to make a smooth line across the bottom of the bumper, this would work really well if you're also repainting the bumper.
You guys are doing an amazing job on the celica. With the engine out now it's ready for the makeover. Stay classy Arizona 😎
I really don't know why I think this is like the coolest build ever but it's just so different I guess. Love how you think outside the box and try something different. This thing is going to be insanely fast. Can't wait to see it get rolling.
Angel Food Cake is very lucky to work with you 😊😊😊❤
Sarah, where is your eye protection?? For your assistant, too!
For the front bumper you could weld a patch panel into the half moon (and weld up the bolt hole for the over-rider as well), then re-chrome the bumper. that would be the best outcome, but not the easiest or cheapest. Another option is you could check JP or Aus for a non US spec bumper.
The excitement begins,,, Celica is in great shape,,, Lookin' forward to this swap,,,, Awesome
Thank you Sarah!
That's a fantastic vehicle, and the bumper should stay stock, in my opinion.
I second that!
Bumperettes are absolutely going away
@@SarahnTuned Allthough I agree with Robby Jr., my main concern would be to keep the bumpers you have original and not modify them. I'd recommend just removing the bumperettes and leave the bumpers as they are until you can get a pair of the bumpers you want. Having said that. Your car, your call :)
It'd be ironic if not long after its finished it's in a minor front end crash where those 5 mph bumpers would've mitigated the damage.
@@SarahnTuned jdm spec would be sweet
LOVING your work Sarah and your humour
I had an ST back in the early 80s, great little car and got tons of looks even back then. Your doing some great work ,nice shop now remember when you didn’t even have a vice.
They are Carroll Shelby Daytona wheels from the early 80's 14x6. I would use a Ford 8.8 underneath the Celica as they are relatively abundant and are more than capable of handling the HP from the Yota V8 easily. Plus the aftermarket there are tons of aftermarket support for the 8.8.
Looks likes 13"s....
The tires mounted on the wheels were P175/70R13's.
These are 13x5.5’s
Those Shelby wheels could be bought through the Montgomery Ward catalog,back in the day. You could probably find them at their tire shop also.
I think they were Carroll Shelby Tuning aftermarket wheels as you suggest, and are not from an OEM vehicle.
Awesome you two....
Hey Sarah!. Fellow Celica restorer here. In the hole that you have those half moons you can install rally Lights or fog lights.
Cheers
You would think that bellybuttons conduct electricity, after all they had a cord atached to them 😎 (love the Celica)
Somebody needs to do a video researching this... Inquiring minds want to know.
With a high enough current, they actually will conduct electricity.
Immediately my first thought, I'm not surprised someone else called it so early in the comments.
Another great video! I actually like that color.... Its different.. Not sure if there is any metallic in it but I think it would look great if it did and a bran new paint job.
There is a silver metal flake it in yeah
Such a cool project.
As for the bumper, what if you cut it as you explained and used the holes for some period correct rally lights. Or period correct amber housing with LED bulbs. You save the bumper and have a convenient hole and area to mount brackets to
if ya wanted to get the bumper rechromed you could make filler pieces weld them in
I second that.
We need a running tally of all the titles Sarah has bestowed upon Angel at this point.
I, for one, applaud your decision to work 'Blue'.
Chrome this 1974 we had chrome on our cars. Amazing shape for how old it is. My buddy had a 78 GT. Red with the trunk luggage rack. Way cool. And yes chrome.
Maybe you could find some round lights to go in the bumper?
The under hood temperature is going to increase a lot the dummy hood scoops and other mods should be incorporated early on in the swap.
They are functional hood vents from factory
Those hood vents are real, not just for looks.
An interesting project! I had a -73 Celica and I changed the engine to a 2.0 twincam (18R-G). It's nice to follow this project, because it's a familiar car. 🙂
Your series is super cool, informative, and fun too. I'm in the process of restoring a '73 Celica currently. Keep up the great content!
Shelby wheels were available aftermarket back in the day. I sold them at the Performance Corner parts store a loooooooong time ago. But I'm still 19... Get off my lawn.
That V8 is going to twist that little frame like a pretzel
Before I thought no but then I learned you can install a water cooled Golf engine in a classic Beetle engine hold!
I agree, this is like Mission Impossible, but impressive.
I think she will realize the strength issue and do some serious bracing / welding.
I am sure that Sarah and Charlie have already discussed that issue in detail. Charlie's design and fabrication skills are very impressive.
Yeah if you didn’t use subframe connectors.
Awesome work!
After a long 💩 of a day. So refreshing to come home and unwind with my favorite car Chic and a big ol bowl..... Of cereal of course 🤔🤣
I miss my 75 St..had a lot of fun with that car
Живооотик!
🏁
And on the third day, Sarah got wild and put her engine yanking outfit on. Oh my gosh, WOWWW❗️❗️❗️
Satisfying ! You do great work!
If you are coating the bumpers black you can weld in fillers for the holes
This was my first car in 1976!! Exactly the same color. I learned about "love" in the passenger seat! ; ) Thank you very much for bringing back sweet memories!
I always liked the idea of swapping this engine into a KMIII Supra. Japanese muscle car + Japanese V8.
Sarah, you can get a belt with a covered buckle from most tool trucks, made for mechanics so as to not scratch paint.
Gotta love the muscle car look of the front end of lots of the older Japanese cars
Love this car so much this is one of your best
Food for algorithm's thought: Sarah is awesome, the video is great, recommend it!
You're such a goof i love it! So happy i found your channel.
I look forward to this more than any other project you have done. That is because I am a huge fan of the 2UZ FE and 1UZ FE engines.
