we're planning to buy and restore this 73 toyota celica. we need some infos kung saan makakabili ng parts. nagtanong na kasi ako sa banawe - medyo hindi maganda yung feedback bout the parts (wala na daw). right front signal light was missing. still have to wait for a week para malaman lahat ang problema.
need some tips guys. tnx

Try a shop that specializes in restoring vintage vehicles. Our restorer found parts for a 1946 Ford, siguro naman may parts pa din for a 1973 Toyota.

:D

Kung full restoration ang gagawin mo ay mahirap kung kulang-kulang ang Celica na kukunin mo. Mas maganda kung medyo kumpleto na ito bago mo i-restore. Kung exterior and interior trims ang hinahanap mo medyo mahirap na talaga maghanap ng mga yan. Kahit sa US ay halos wala ka na ring makitang brand new parts. Malamang sa junkyard ka pupunta para magbakasakaling makakita ka ng mga used parts. Subukan mo lang din magtanong sa mga iba't-ibang shop, minsan ay nakakatiyempo. Ako nga ay nakahanap ng NOS chrome vent covers at used side emblems para sa '75 Celica ko sa, of all places, isang shop na nagbebenta ng mags sa may Tomas Mapua St. sa Manila. Buti na lang nakakuwentuhan ko ang may-ari at mayroon pala siyang mga nakatagong Celica parts. Pero tiyagaan lang talaga ang paghahanap ng mga parts niyan.

Sa mechanical parts naman, maraming interchangeable parts na galing sa mga early'80s na Corona at Corolla. Katulad ng power steering gear box na kinuha ko sa '80 Corolla, direct bolt-on siya sa Celica ko.

I have a 1990 Corolla XL. It's so old school because it has point break ignition system.

Ako naman, am not restoring a car at the moment, but if I had the means, I'd like to restore/lightly modify any one of the following:

1. 76 Mitsubishi Galant (Sedan or Coupe)
2. 81 Corolla (with 4 round headlights)
3. 70 VW Beetle (not the Super Beetle)
4. 70 Toyota Landcruiser (FJ-40)
5. 78 Toyota Corolla
6. 81 Ford Cortina Coupe 2.0 liter
and
7. 86 Nissan Patrol 3-Door with I-6 gasoline engine.

Imported cars:
1. 85 Chevrolet K-1500 2-dr Blazer
2. 72-80 Chevrolet Corvette
3. 69 Chevrolet Camaro
and
4. 85 Porsche 911 GT Coupe

Just thinking wishfully.
