Toyota Celica ra28

breadmonster

newbie post be warned
Anybody got any ideas how much it would cost to take a car like this
http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/vintagecars/3764488



and turn it into something that *looks* like this (without the v8 engine)

i imagine the insides are wrecked cause i see the same car advertised from what must be the previous owner a couple of days earlier. so take it as just a shell of a car.
+ i know nothing about engines so would have to get someone else to do all the work for me..
anybody got some rough figures?

That GT has the 2T-G that powered the high-end GT model was a DOHC 1,600 cc engine equipped with twin Mikuni-Solex Carburetors, so it's a nice engine. I'd imagine the 'Modified' forum here might have more info on those engines. I wouldn't be inclined to go overboard on resto or tuning - just tidy up whats there and enjoy it. :cool:
