Old School Toyota

Hey my names Brad and this is my first post here. Some of you may recognize me from a few other model and 1:1 car forums, but like all of us I am always looking for new places to show off my stuff! Heres my latest build a 1970 Celica. I am a big fan of the old japanese cars and wheels so thats kind of where my builds have been going lately.

Kit-Hasagawa '70 Celica 1600GT
Wheels-Fugimi Work Equip 3negative 15inch
Tires-Aoshima Dunlops
Paint-Tamiya rattle can
Its built mostly box stock except for the wheels and lowered suspension. Basically built the way I would like to build a real one! (if I could ever find one in the northeast :banghead: )

Let me know what you think :D

The only thing missing on the kit is one decal.:banghead: It got destroyed during the application process, so if anyone has one that they would like to sell or donate I really dont want to spend $30 for another kit if I dont have to!

Pic of the fender and decal thats missing. The marker light is being left off untill I can locate a decal as it sits over the stripe.

wow this looks amazing. I love old school jap cars myself, and all those cars need to look good is suspension and pimping wheels! :)

Nice! Lovin the wheel choice and the oldskool mirrors. The color is nice too. I have a special place in my heart for old Celicas. The 2nd car I ever owned was a '75 GT.. awesome.

very nice build.Good colour choice.The chrome work looks really good.Shame about the decal getting destroyed.Maybe you could order a replacement from Hasegawa themselves??

Very sweet! I love the wheels! And I like it more with indicator light at the fender:grinyes:

very old school i like it the wheels and stance set this car off

Excellent looking miodel. You can order a replacement decal sheet from www.hlj.com.

Looks very good! Color suits it well.

OldSkoolC:sunglasse :sunglasse lness indeed!!

This is very Old School. I don't even remember seing that car on the streets.

Love the color! And the rims look really nice too, great build overall ;)

Too bad for the destroyed decal though

Very unique rims, period correct and all. Awesome build!

Very, VERY clean build. Those wheels make it! You've done a stellar job on this one and I love it. I'm really enamored with this car as well, all old school Japanese cars really, so it's cool when one shows up this well done. GREAT model! I love it.

Also, you have a PM about the decals.

Thanks to all for the positive comments, and a big thanks to willimo for the decal to finish it! I will be posting the next old school build in the w.i.p. section tonight, a Fugimi Toyota TE27 Corolla rolling on a different set of works.
