I've had a couple of 1st gen celicas, although I sold the last one off over ten years ago. As much as I love them I decided it'd have to be something special if I ever had another one, either one of the JDM only models or a flatlight. quick lesson for non celica people, the first two years of celicas had flat tail lights and a flip down panel between them with the fuel filler behind it, and the tank under the boot. After that the taillights changed, the tank went behind the rear seat, and the filler in the C pillar. Finding a good early celica these days is a struggle, and flatlights are even harder. I was talking to my mate Dave at a car show, he's got a mint white RA28 with RA25 taillights and bumpers, he was foaming over the KE15 and at some point he mentioned he had a TA22 project in the garage a tidy home that had stalled. I jokingly said we should swap, he said something like 'surely you wouldn't want to' and we left it at that. Fast forward 6 months and he tags me in a mint KE15 for sale on Facebook and says 'I hope yours turns out this good' and I reply 'you can make sure of it if you trade me for your TA22', then we have a bit of a chat, have a good look over each other's cars, and decide to make it happen. i really like the KE15, but it's just a bit to small for me, and in the long run I'd rather have the celica. finally swapped cars today, I had to take the crown up to the inlaws while I move some stuff around to make room. How to make a crown look tiny: catch you later Sprinter, I'll miss your face a lot and the new celica home in the garage pretty stoked, I can't find any rust, and she is damn straight considering it's never been restored cheers Matt
