Absolutely beautiful restoration work. That guy has some awesome cars in his shop too.

When a Toyota Celica can be exciting, you know you're doing something right.

Very nice work and excellent detailing of the work. Only wish I could afford to have someone do something like that on my cars!

A one of a kind 1980's rally car worth $500? Will take 5-10 of them. Please show me where they are!

Bottom line though, after all that work it's still looks like a Celica.

Yea and cannot get away from that but the reason why so few old rally cars are around now is that they were beat to hell in the races, then scrapped after yanking the good bits out to go on some street rod.

Finding an old one like this is pretty rare. Wish it was an old 911 or Saab/Volvo rally car!

To some people a 911 Carrera 2.7RS is just another Porsche......

It's a Celica with history.
