What to do with this? Odd JDM content inside

not exactly. it can still get a title. It takes paper work and dealing with specialized insurance though.

I was wondering about that too.. actually had to look at the celica badges to make sure the picture was not flipped

Yeah, its just the logo that's flipped and it's just on the one side (nothing on the other side at all) I cant figure it out, at first I just thought it was imprinting from something resting on it in storage but it does appear to be an actual logo.

Cool find! The Dunlop logo is probably a sticker which was meant to go inside the glass, meaning the glue would be on the 'wrong' side.

Good point, I dont know why that didn't dawn on me.

A guy over at JNC pointed out that it appears to be a real JDM Celica GT and it has a disk brake rear in it.

You have a smart wife.

I want to see pics of it cleaned up and with that awful Pep Boys chrome fender trim removed!

Time permitting I will get it cleaned up, it should buff out to a presentable state.

Crap. Not my favorite body style for the Celica. If it was the previous generation I'd be renting a truck and figuring out where I'd put it...

I have an unnatural love for rhd cars. Shifting with my left hand doesn't bother me a bit.

Give it some time. I have to believe a jdm fan somewhere will want to save it. Too bad he didn't decide to sell it back in May. It would probably sell for a decent price at Carlisle.

Where are you I have a person that can get a title to anything

Is that a factory sunroof or aftermarket?

Sooo... if i get it, you can hook me up?

I like it a lot too. I think it has a lot of potential for the right person. I hope 92CelicaHT gets it, fixes it up and then posts pictures on here making us all sorry that we didn't have it. Cool find.

Neat! I miss mine sometimes. Looks like about the same year...

The fastback body grew on me, but I like the coupes too. Clean it up, grab a junkyard 20R from a pickup, and drive it!

I remember watching that one go away on a trailer. 'Twas a sad time indeed.

Yes I will. I would like to drive it if you get it running though. The gal I use charges 150-200 depending. For title

Now I'm really wondering if there's anything cool that'll bolt in. Maybe a 7MGE would fit? That'd be a pretty interesting setup. Or, of course, a 4AG, but they're getting kinda scarce nowdays, especially if you want one of the later ones.

Bolt in? 18R-G.

7MGE? You can make it fit. You can make them fit in first gens. But...like all the I6 swaps I've seen, I can never picture them handling very well with more mass, farther out in front of the car. Unless you hack into the firewall...etc.

4AG? Nothing too complicated, but not exactly going to be "awesome" in that car.

I'd be saying GR series V6...but, well, no idea on how hard it would be. Here's a dude who put a 2GR-FSE into a 3rd gen Celica though: http://www.socalautohub.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=177

According to the PO who stopped by and had a nice chat last night it is going to be difficult to go I6, supposedly the Supras had a slightly longer wheelbase and front end to fit the 6 but I'm just going by what he says, I don't know nuttin :)

The i6 isn't a terrible swap. It's harder in the early 1st gens, then for the "facelift" variant of the 1st gens they got longer, and that carried over to the 2nd gens.

I'm still thinking 18RG, though.

If you have been inside it, I would recommend a shower first.

Needs moar American V8.

JDM Celica? The answer is obvious! MOAR CAMBER!

Rallycross project. That is all.

I know of one particular state cough cough Maine cough that is easy as pie to get a title for a non-titled vehicle, just pay the fees, but I live in GA so I don't have this problem, though that's how I'd roll if I needed one...
