I almost had a 78
Wassup everyone. I was just remembering the 78 Celica I almost got as my first car, it was a 5 speed hatchback GT with all the cool late 70's options but it had a weak ass motor, it was called a 20R I think, had some rust too and a leaking hatch. Anyways I was wondering if those cars are worth fixing up, like maybe dropping in a 2.2 with some nice carbs or an aftermarket EFI?

well crud, if I had money I don't think I'd be driving my 216k mile 87 Accord Lx lol
 Seriously tho, there are no drop in motors for these? Like motors that used the same mounts? I'd obviously need to redo the fuel delivery.

yea man, go for it. I have some nice deep gashes in my hands from working on some tight-engine-bayed Hondas these past few weeks and they could use some salt :stormzap:

damn man I hate to say this but the 78 is a different generation than those, although those are sweet looking cars you posted. The only thing I don't like are those goofy-looking mirrors.
Thanks for all the pics tho, where'd you find them?
