Chemical Dipping a 1972 Toyota Celica
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- Today I am chemically removing all the paint and rust off this classic 1972 Toyota Celica prior to its complete restoration. I’m going to take you through the process we use to completely chemically strip cars down to bare metal. This is a more thorough alternative to sand/media blasting with no chances of metal warping on thin panels. This process shows you exactly what you are working with and gives you a blank canvis to work with!
It is a 3 step process
Step 1) alkaline degreaser and paint remover
Step 2) Food grade Rust removing acid
Step 3) Water based rust inhibitor
The total process takes around 6 weeks because we use environmentally safe chemicals.

1972 Celica was a nice looking car.
It really was though
Then in 73 when they added the liftback it became truly beautiful. (2000GT)

@@HK-uq9by I mean people take 6.0L LS style engines from trucks and put them in cars all the time. This celica is getting an engine from another Toyota despite it being from a truck. It’ll make a lot of torque down low.
@@TheMrDariusIts rear diff is like old American cars while it is a small wheelbase car! That makes it as uncomfortable as a Truck! no separate suspension and leaf springs! Unless you take it classy to shake on the road!
They were great cars. No need to be anywhere near embarrassed about it.
I thought they were neat cars honestly. I posted a short of pressure washing the paint off it and people were tearing it apart in the comments lol
I love these cars! Variety is awesome.

Be better than any shit made in America 😢😢😢😢
This car was featured on Jay Lenos Garage for a reason. Whoever hates on it for being a Toyota, is not a real car guy, but an blindfolded ideologist. This car looks sweet as an original but it's also a fantastic playground for tasteful modification.
Not all of us are haters. I dig the Celica. Your pan shots are fast but I can always hit pause. Nice job on the video.
Thanks buddy!
Im currently watching somewhat excited to see how 70s japanese metal does. I have a 72 Datsun that I would love to dip. This episode may be the catalyst that makes me do it,
Datsun, another word for rust.
@@ldnwholesale8552Toyota and Datsun completely different metallurgical at last engine wise
how people protect it afterwards? Do you just galvanize it after you're finished with welding? Every spot of protective paint in hard to reach areas is gone after you dip it.
Some people don't understand that there are all sorts of car enthusiasts out there, yes even Toyota celica's. And I for one do not judge people on their preference of what vehicles they love. I thought this was an awesome video very satisfying watching it go from how it came to you and how you let it leave your shop. Amazing work brother keep up knocking these out of the park.
Take care.
I had to look up how a '72 Celica looks and honestly, pretty cool car.
They don't realize someone famous in the car industry designed it to be a mustang... Ford didn't like the design so Toyota bought it.
Totally cool and unique car! Classic Japanese cars are amazing when restored.
Everybody’s got a Mustang in their collection. Old Toyota is something special…
Those were great cars. My brother raced them on ice back in the 80's. Very reliable but they rusted . He would buy them at 100 dollars a pop and delivered pizzas with them. He even made one into a convertible along with a matching back-end of another one into a trailer for trips. So fun. Now only memories remain.
Ughghhhh a hundred dollars.. Everything is so outrageously expensive now
"And I'll be your stripper today" gets me everytime. Thanks for the great content!
lol thanks for watching buddy!
Be like yeah I'm here for the car not you pal LOL!!
Those cars are classics! Worth every penny spent to get her back to life. Thanks for the vid
I could literally watch these vids all day. Most satisfying part is the old paint being pressure washed off👍🏻
Thanks buddy!
Send this video to Sarah-N-Tuned. She is restoring one to mint condition and will probably enjoy it.
I've been following her build on that, and it's gonna be pretty sweet.
I've been following that build too!
As well as the f-350 Cummins swap.
He is restoring.
You mean she found a very nice survivor and hacked it up… such a waste but each their own I guess.
@@fritsified5952She didn't hack it up. She found a good condition survivor car that was completely stock. She removed the V8 engine, a 1uz from a crashed truck to replace the engine that was in it. Then she added fender flares and some tasteful upgrades, but nothing that wouldn't be period correct. It's an awesome car, you should watch it, she's extremely funny.
13:40 who would restore Toyota Celica? Every true car guy 🔥🔥
When I was in elementary school, one of my neighbors had a blue Celica with this body style. She drove it like she stole it, scaring the crap out of us kids who played ball in the street. Whenever Gina came around the corner we'd sound the alarm and get out of the way!
I truly think that everything coming from that specific year deserves eternity :)
A lot of young people would rather have a clean Celica rather than a clean GTO. It’s a generational thing, a lot of us don’t remember cars like roadrunners and GTOs from our childhoods, we remember celicas, supras, Evos, Imprezas and skylines.
Definitely, I love the look of the 80’s Supra but it is definitely nostalgia based for sure.
The first gen Celica is a great little Japanese Hot Rod. Done well they get more attention than many of the common cars at shows. Mine always draws a crowd and I do always enjoy having something unique in the mix
I totally get this as a restoration subject. I’m not a Toyota fan per se, but seeing a pristine one would stop me in my tracks at a car show. I remember seeing them brand new when I was a kid. And they had decent styling; good looking cars. Challenging sheet metal repair lies ahead for the body men, unless there’s a Year One type supplier for these that I never heard of. Good luck!
Thats in remarkably nice condition.
Definitely worth saving.
All vintage cars are worth restoring so great video, as always.
That’s a piece of automotive history. Probably not that many left in that kind of condition. Definitely worth the effort to restore. I’ll bet you see more and more of this kind of thing as time goes on. Keep up the good work.
Whilst they're getting rarer there are still a lot left in Japan, Australian and NZ and have a dedicated following. Not everyone is into heavy poor handling US cars lol.
For a 70 s Japanese car in North America it is in very good shape 👍👍
Good on Trev
Everybody has their own reasons for restoring a vehicle... Celica or not, anyone willing to go to this much trboule will be proud of what they end up with after all this work.
Had a 1973 Celica in High School that I paid $800 for. It had the best air conditioning ever! It was fun to drive and very economical. Glad to see someone saving this one.
It's amazing how well preserved some of the metal is under the painted areas.
I'm a big Toyota fan so this was my favorite episode.👍
For a fifty year old car it looks pretty good. It was new the year I graduated from high school. One of my neighbors had one.
They were nice little cars, sporty but not a sports car.👍
OUTSTANDING Presentation & Explanation : o .....
Чувак, ты занимаешься мега крутым занятием, это невероятно!
Nice Celicas bring crazy money. I can easily see going to this effort.
That thing is in comparatively pristine condition. As a kid in the early 80s I remember seeing every 70s Toyota being a complete rust bucket. Much like my 90s Nissan Hardbody is today. But if they didn't rust away, they would probably still be running.
I love the oddball cars personally. I remember as a kid seeing these in wrecking yards alot. I personally think that the Celica is what has made Toyota in large part what it is today. Between these and the little pickups and the 20R you couldn't go wrong. This being a 2nd year model in as solid condition as it is is a testament to how well the cars were built back then.
I too would love to see this car when it's done..great little cars.
At that time, the Celica was the sportiest thing Toyota offered, by far. But it was still built and priced as essentially a “throwaway”. I can’t imagine what the owners plan is for this and would actually love to see the final version.
Not hard to guess where the battery sat in the engine bay.
Another great video, thanks for creating.
Sarah-N-Tuned is doing a nice restomod with one of these.
Wow... that thing is in great shape! Japanese imports from that era in my neck of the woods look like Swiss Cheese. And it's all about attachment and memories. If I had the money, and time, I would so strip down a mid 70's Grand Marquis (my first "good" car) and rebuild it. My daily driver is an '09 Grand Marquis and if I could find a way to be buried in it I would!
Hi Trevor, This Toyota Celiac was a very common care her in Skadinivia and Europe in the 80"s and the 90"s. Nice work. Keep it coming. Hope you have a great day.
These are in high demand, fetching respectable prices. Love'em!!!
Celica1972 are a huge diamond in rough car. specially the one with the mirrors ahead. great project to restore.
I love those old Celicas! I almost bought one 30 years ago.
That came out fantastic. My daily driver is a 1950 Chevy Deluxe that currently has rust bubble cancer. I would love to get it acid dipped and plated to minimize future rusting, but Its not going to be any time soon.
If the prime is sticking well to parts of body, why do you need to remove those as well? you know sometimes those older primes are much stronger than the new ones!
I have no idea why people would hate this dip, this was one of the more interesting episodes.
These cars have a large following and are desirable to many, they make great projects and are definitely worth the effort.
Thanks for the vid.
I remember these cars. My mom owned one, not a bad car. I know a couple of people that have restored a few of them, not your normal classic, but they seemed to have caught on over the last few years.
amazing results, verygood work, this old car will be a great restauration.Congrats.
I bet it is satisfying to you when photo's of completed restorations hit your inbox. 👍👍👍
Vinyl tops in the worst. Not because they particularly look bad but because of the damage they do over time
The imported cars wanted to appeal to American buyers. 50+ years of exterior vinyl doesn't age well...
I’m astonished how good that is!
In Australia they are a valuable car and sought after
As much as I love Chevys and all but I do appreciate a classic like a Celica. Nothing wrong with it.
I worked in a body shop in the 80s and these would come in completely rusted so this is really nice to see
In Germany the same,they went to the junkyard after eight years of use.
You should see my restored 1977 Celica liftback... Wish I knew of you guys when I was doing it. Much less rust than this one. Glad to see another being restored.
'72 Celica's looked good and were a lot of fun to drive!
Thanks for showing the underside of the car. Very revealing.
70s Celicas were awesome, who would hate on them? But this car cleaned up really nice, there's really not too much rust/rot given that it's more than 50 years old! The white/red paint combo probably looked pretty dang good on it back in the day, too.
I watch all your video's and I think this is your best production so far. Great info.
Hey its a Toyota but it is a classic car, we cant all drive Mustangs and Chevs. The more classics that get restored all the better I say regardless of what make they are.
Really appreciated the extra content ❤
Not seen the from below shots before.
Thank you...
That's going to be a great car when it's done and they are collectable.
When I was a boy the thought of a 52 y/o car was something to behold only in a museum.
I own a 1972 Celica 18 RC.. I bought it new back in 1972. It just keeps running so I've kept it. I take it to Cars and coffee's and some shows on the week ends.
I'd love to see someone restoring from a chem dipped body. I heard it's a very labor intensive process but worth every minute when you do.
They were sweet cars back in the day
I had a 75 Celica GT when I was 16. I loved that cars looks. The power stunk lol but it was nice to look at and got me to and from school and my job. Course, we went cruising on weekends in my friends Chevelle not my Toyota...drrrr.
Excellent Vid Trev, if that is your Weekend name....lol. Good to see the underside of cars, it is difficult we know, but its awesome.
There will be a lot of haters out there. The Toyota's and Datsun's destroyed the US car industry by offering cheap, fuel efficient, and reliable cars.
At the time the Celica (pronounced: Seleeeka) had a futuristic design away from the square boxes of 1970's cars.
Really nice dip the paint came off lovely.
Excellent video, excellent work. Blessings 🙌
CHEERS from AUSTRALIA
My first ever car. If I could find on of these in good condition I would totally restomod the thing.
had one, looked like a small Camaro considered a classic by many but not many get restored.
These were the Halo cars for Japan in this Era. 240z, delicate, rx3, very japanese, but definitely appealing to many of us! (I was 12 when this was new!)
I had an 82 Toyotal Corrola in college and it was the most reliable car i ever owned, 4 cyl 5 speed fun to throw around in corners, just a great car untill i hit a deer at 60mph. RIP .
The Celica is what gave birth to the Supra so it’s a historical ride for sure
These Celicas are awesome!
Just because it's not a muscle car, doesn't mean it's not a rocking car! 😎
A well restored Celica can be a really valuable car, there are many buyers for them.
That was my dream car back in the day. Never could quite afford one though.
I had an early 1972 red Celica ST (made in 71). They had a special look and lines that no other car had. The rot in the L front of this car is where the battery is located if I remember correctly.
Awesome job !!
For a Petrol-Head, you have the world's most rewarding job - I'd almost do it for free, but I guess they pay you too ;-) Great work, I love it !
Using and "Etching" Paint Primer after you are done might be a great extra or free service, & to help stop flash rust.
Brilliant! Cheers from the Mississippi Delta
I was thinking as you said it, pressure wash before dip to get any loose stuff first. Would help the duty cycle of the tank solvent to some degree.
Lovely ! My first car was a '75 Celica 😊
I had the exact same car. Great ride and reliable!
What? Who would hate or rant about restoring a 1st gen Cellica. Those cars are cool. Kudos to the owner hope he gets to finish that project. Those cars are getting rare. And surely value will go up just like the 240z when 30+years ago are just vslued in the range of 4 digits and now it is valued at a high 5 digits.
That bath is what Marvel and DC supervillains are made in.
Celicas and Coronas! Rear wheel drive fun in the snow for 100 dollars decades ago! Try and find them now.
Dare to be different. Whoever is restoring this is dedicated. Imagine this car with a moderately upgraded 2JZ under the hood.
You will need to do some internet surfing to realise that prices for 70-80ts japanese cars are skyrocketing much faster than old U.S iron I have been involved in the car and modified/racing industries for over 55 years ,
My opinion has ALWAYS BEEN different cars same passion!!
Remember if ALL car groups united how much combined cloud we would have with ledgislators? But thats wishfull thinking at this stage
Good to see the under body being cleaned.
70s Celica had won a lot of race back in that day.
If I found a decent 70-74 Celica, it would be getting the same treatment. I had some coming out of high school and I got them because all I had to do was get them running. And most times it was draining gas and doing a tune-up for $45. I miss the 90's...
This was a fun one
Good.job😄👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏cool congratulations you show
These cars are getting up there in value now. If someone will do this to a Celica then Corolla of the same era is not far behind. In another 20 years you'll be dipping a Civic.
First car I drove when I first got my license. Was my mom’s car. Loved it like it was mine.
Great looking little GT. I would have one in a J Lenno style garage if I could afford it 😅.
Very very good you show and the underside...
We'd like to do a Datsun 510- someday!
Dream car for me 😮
