My new project car.

I bought a 1984 Toyota Celica Liftback GT for only 500 bucks. The body is perfectly straight with one dent in it. The motor when I bought it was told it needed a timing chain and rear brakes. Well I took off the rear brakes and yeah they were down to the metal so all that will be brand new. I started taking off the timing chain cover and drained the oil and found a whole bunch of water in the oi. So I did a leak down test and yeah the head gasket is blown so I am just going to do what I was planning on doing with it later and that was build a 2XR hybrid without it blowing up after 5 miles like the one in my old 81 celica did. Anyways here are a few shots of it. The thing is really dirty and tore apart. I was planning on getting it running and then washing and then taking pics. Well since the car wont be running for a while now I figured I would just take some pics of it now. I will be putting some GTS rims on it once I get them from my AE86 that I am selling this weekend.
