Thanks for the memories. My first car was a beast, 1968 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. Great for drive in movies. Second was a 1973 Toyota Celica St. I loved that car. I put some beautiful pinstripe work on it. I customized the carburetor. I went to the drag races quite often in San Antonio. On a dare I entered my Celica. I dial in perfect. I still remember my time--16.78 seconds. I took 2nd. I would have finished 1st. But, a guy brought a 74 Nova SS that he wanted to test out. Every time I got close he'd goose it to stay just ahead of me. Jusy nawt right. Anyway I enjoyed your video. Thank you
Simply beautiful, the time and effort is amazing. I just purchased a 76 gt liftback for $100 and will need the exact metal work you are doing. I was going to sell it but this gives me great hope. Keep it up
@@dadstoygarage1878 If I can send you pictures can you give me your honest opinion? I wasnt expecting much when I bought it but it runs and drives so that is half the battle haha
I had one of these back in the 1970`s . I had the engine rally staged ,a pair of `40`s janspeed manifolds, high lift cam and so on..nothing would come close to it for acceleration...lol..:-) It was painted in 501 yellow topaz....i sold it to buy a lancia..what a mistake..lol..:-)Take care Blessings from England UK...
in 83 i had 2 71s and a 73, all rescued from garages where they were left to rust. drove em for a while and sold them. later had a 77gt. ah the good old days.....
Got 2 of the three on your list done :) Supra w58 5 speed and still have the 4 speed rear end. As for motor For now it is going to stay 18r-c as I have a spare one and I bought a turbo and material to build the turbo header. I know the 18r-c is a poor flowing head but I am curious what this motor will do with the turbo and efi on it.
DadsToyGarage DevJ Bought Webber side draft for my 18 motor . Never would run rite needed to cam it . Had chrome valve cover along with chrome Honey comb grill . Fender flares all around n rear CJ Wittney spoiler .
And judging from this video - neither did he(Originally) -but with "UA-cam-Certification courses" he appears to be doing a tremendous job ! I started at 15 (1979) and a Dream _ now, with 34 years of hindsight, I say GO FOR IT !!
Outstanding work!!! Me and a friend are working on his 76 Celica we pulled the old motor out and put in a 95 Tacoma motor in we still have a long ways to go .
Sweet good luck with the build. I am in the planning stages of a motor swap on my other celica which is actually the parts car for this build. My friend and I plan on building a bear bones track car out of the parts car and dropping a 302 ford in it with a budget of $1200. If it comes together I hope to post up the build on here.
Pretty cool sheet metal fabrication skills. Buying flat sheet metal is way cheaper than expensive aftermarket panels that won't fit without extensive fabrication anyway.
If I could subscribe more than once I would, great work, and all without music or comment, perfect, at least for me. The first generation Celica is one of my favorites.
I never thought I would so much, But It's really got me wanting one of these lately. More so the 'Mustang' Version, the GTV or GT 2000 version with the twin cam 18RG engine. Better start looking before the prices go through the roof or they all get snapped up.
Hey thanks for checking out the video. I wanted one of these early celiacs for a long time. Locally there are so few left that it took me ten years to locate one! I agree I like the GTV option package. I can't help but wonder if the prices are going to go up on these things in the future.
hi.OMG i had a 72 st and it was my first project in a budget. I was 17 and broke but still all the things i learned from the celica i still use them in my new project. it also had the 18r.Very strong and torquy engine. thanks for bringing back good memories. funny thing I always loved those pull type light switches and now im using one in my volvo 240 wagon project. pleaase send more videos .peace.
Very cool, thanks for sharing about your car. I have a couple of projects in the works with some more videos on the way when I can find the time to finish editing them.
It really takes a lot of courage to take on such a project, which i admire. Don’ t you worry about the stifness of the body after replacing so much constructial parts?
i had a 16 lt its the same as an st .wrote it off bought it for 400 pounds it would be worth today 15000,pounds and the mustang shape ones are going for 20,000 pounds crazy money and datsun 240z just as crazy .
Part 2 ?? I am proud of your efforts and excited in your Mastery that only comes from trial and error to trial and SUCCESS... !! Forget the Naysayers they are busy sitting on their dead @@$$es being sideline quarterbacks never having attempted Anything !! ( Which in my opinion is the ultimate FAIL !)

WOW! That brings back memories. I had a 74 Celica GT in High School and College. Same bumperettes, GT emblem on honeycomb grill, 3D version of the taillights compared to the flat version that you installed. Very, very cool! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to watching the other parts to this build.
@@dadstoygarage1878 I had a 77 lift back. I bought it in 92 for 300 bucks. I drove it for a while until I bought my Camaro. You know like a dummy I sold it for scrap $50 it's still ran just fine. I was living with my parents though and I couldn't have more than one car, Only had one parking spot
Hi, Im currently restoring a "72 TA22 and was wondering what the tool is called which you are using to create the forms in the metal sheet, if possible could you send me a link of such a product?
Do you work in automotive repair fields or some type of metal fabrication, cause you did some cool sheet metal work. I dont think average garage DIY like myself can pull this off.
Thanks for checking out the video. You totally can make these parts with some practice, this is actually the first car I have built. When I took on this project I knew I would need to find a way to fix and replace rusted panels I did find a place that would build me new panels if I would send in my rusty panels. Then I found this guy :ua-cam.com/users/lazzemetalshaping After watching a bunch of his videos I went for it and bought the tools (the cheaper princess auto versions and modified them to work better) Figuring that it would actually be similar prices or cheaper buying the tools to make the parts my self.
robhaerr its a 1973. It’s on the title and vin. Also the tell of a 1973 is a mix of features of pre 1972 and post 1974. 1973 has 1971-1972 style wheel arches as well as the filler cap is on the b pillar, the tail lights are bubble and the 1973 is the first year with bumperets (bumper guards)
Great work! Im also starting to make videos for my Celica Project, replacing panels too but I have donor car parts haha. Keep up the progress, can't wait for the next video! :)
I have been trying to restore a 1975 model Celica TA22 but the the parts are a nighmare to find. Can a kind soul please point me in the right direction for everything Celica TA22 from Brake Calipers,Brake wheel cylinders,all rubbers,lights ,grille.and many many other parts. Is there someone out there who can help,I will really appreciate.
Hello greetings excellent sheet metal work I wanted to know where I can get a rack upgrade for a 1973 corolla (te21) I want to do rack & pinion Have a good day
The rack upgrade in my car: the manual rack is out of an 1985 MR2 with shortened outer corolla ti rods. The mounting bracket for the rack was built by Cary on the 1st gen celica web site. He also modified my steering column to accept the Mr2 steering rack. For the corolla I am not sure. I would check with a corolla forum dedicated to your model of car to see what others are doing.
I think I may have accidentally deleted somebodies video from here .... my apologies if I did I was watching something on the tele at the time when I suddenly caught out of the corner of my eye 'Video deleted' ..... Sorry !
I am using 18 gauge for most of the repair panels I used some 16 gauge for the middle rocker between the inner rocker and outer rocker behind the seat belt mount. The rear frame supports are 12 gauge.
Wow neat, very well made! Check out my Celicas on my channel that I restored in 1991/1994 I now have a 1970 Camaro, which I also restored. Many greetings from Chester from the Netherlands.
thanks for checking out the video. good luck in your search for a celica. I have the mr2 manual steering rack and pinion which also works when you can't find the corolla rack. with the mr2 rack you need to get a different length of outer tie rods. I was going to run a modern engine when I started the project but have decided to try putting a turbo on the 18r for now. The race car in my other videos is getting a 2015 mustang motor.
Sadly and unfortunately it’s a rust bucket death trap! Pop rivets and welding holding it together. Hell I wouldn’t want to be caught in a serious accident in that thing!
elinopetho it’s almost done the rebuild now! It’s done correctly and like factory did. Better quality materials used than Toyota as well. Rust is gone -cut out and welded fresh. All cars are spot welded together at the factory.
Dad's Toy Garage The placement of factory spot welds are built and engineered for safety and strength, and these designs have been crash tested to prove their integrity. Please don’t compare this backyard job to the likes of the Toyota Motor Company. Good grief.
elinopetho you sure get defensive some one must have burned you in the past? All classic cars are restored this way. I like sharing my work with people so they can learn and enjoy watching a build. I am a professional automotive painter so I have some background in this stuff. By the sound of it you also have training in this line of work?
good bending quality but not good welding. you leave too much welding bubbles inside them those will rust certainly. you should have choose another welding method on there like tig welding maybe. and you should clean the welding surfaces. Also this car is a lot of work. its too rusty. you cut the parts but i didnt see any supports for not losing the structure of the car. you just cut them and replace them.
WOW! That much fabrication screams "MERCY AND HONOR FOR NEARLY A GONNER !". Excellent effort. Remarkable work. Outstanding footage too.
Thank you very much!

Those are some pretty gnarly welds, might need some more practice...
They are stitch welds. You can't run a pretty consistent bead or you will warp your metal body panels
