Hi everybody.

Im Oliver, I like in Houston TX and have a 77 Celica GT coupe.
Ive already replaced half of the front suspension with AE86 stuff and mostly Im here to source a few more parts.

I know a 22R/20R motor inside and out and have a 22R hybrid in my 82 2wd pickup. So if you have any questions about em, just ask.

The day I got it...

And right now, I REALLY need some brackets that hold the power steering rack to the X-member. So if you have em, plz let me know. (Or know someone with a part out)

Thanks

Niiiiice! Welcome to 86G Oliver.

My buddy has a 79 Corona that I put a new head and torquer cam in with a pair of side draught mikuni 44 carbs. It's got nice pick up.

Glad to have you.

We're hoping to mate his 20R head to his 22R block that's currently in his 80 Corona liftback.
