1982 Celica Gt

[donb]

Currently just got a car given to me from a relative. Everyone from 1982 learned how to drive stick with this car. Knowing that its been passed down to each cousin i really wanna restore this baby or upgrade to a better look. I am not baller, but am practical that name brand performance parts arent the key and tuning is. Just want other peoples opinions of what i should do. Thanks

As it stands there is not a great deal you can do to improve performance without spending money.

From what I understand in the US they are rather fussy about emissions, otherwise you could fit twin twin choke carbs. For looks you could fit the body kit from the later GTS/Supra. Otherwise just bring it up to a good standard of refurbishment and enjoy.

Very nice, I love the retro looking 80's design...... she looks in good condition , especially for the age . I see that the roof could do with paint

- maybe a full respray and interior retrim and maybe drop in a newer lexus engine? - looks beautiful anyway
