Welcome back, you have been missed. That is a solid shell and defo not to be scrapped. I think you should build a street car out of it with a 18-RG motor , LSD etc...
Thanks Jeff - Doofa is getting an 18RG (at least until it's next incarnation) so this one is going to get something a little more special. Really want it to take over where VC has left off.
Thanks Fogz - overwhelming sentiment is to save it, so the question now i think its what do we do with VC - if i can find a roof from something that's decent maybe we'll do something with it.
Good to see you back Cam. This is def treasure. Lots of stuff ready to be recycled. Don’t look at it like a replacement for VC. It’s more a new project to go further than VC was able to take you. With all the ideas and learnings from VC, Stick this old dragon on the spit and do the do what you do, with us watching from a safe distance. Look very much forward to see you change the sill’s and fit flares. Also love the Supra wheels. Cheers O.
Wow, didn't pop up in my feed. Noticed I hadn't seen a video for a while and searched the build room and found this! The other problem is I think you have another project instead of a doner! Great episode ad always.
Wow. . .you're back and with a side kick. . .Dangerous Dave!! Where ya been?? Ah who cares, great content back in action! Yes, this looks promising for VC replacement. It would be a good choice to do so. The old VC can be used for parts, after all, you did some premium repairs to it.
Yeah mate have been struggling with time to work on the channel lately for a multitude of reasons, but am starting to get back into it - won't be weekly eps just yet but will be aiming to get back there at some point. Old VC is something i'm really on the fence with, hate the idea of cutting it up but at the same time i need a roof!
Another excellent episode, great work Cam. I think I saw this car a couple of years ago under a waterproof cover outside a house in Lathlain. I spoke to the lady that lived there and they were in the process of moving to Vic Park I think, and were selling it, asking about $5K IIRC. I could not take it then as I was out of storage room. I think it's a better base to work from than VC IMHO. Bent box sections under the front and rubbish bonnet hinges are standard for this car as you said. How do you plan to treat the light surface rust underneath? I hope Dave has recovered OK. The old saying goes is that you have not worked on your car unless you have cut yourself and bled everywhere! Prophetic words from him at the start, quoting his blood group, and 15/32 socket is handy when you round off the 12mm nut you were trying to get off!
Hi Mitch - good to hear from you. The more i look at both cars the more this one looks like the winner. Rust wise, this one is pretty stripped to start so I'll probably throw it on the rotisserie and just have the underside, engine bay, jambs etc sandblasted back, then paint strip the big panels before some 3k epoxy - will be the on right way to justify next steps. Dave has full recovered so no compo claims! To be fair he was working with my Metrinch stuff too which is both imperial and metric so was pretty safe from rounding off things thankfully (as such he just resorted to sheering them off) 🤣
One of my subscribers told me that you picked up a parts car...... Any parts you are considering selling? Or maybe have extras of in the shed? Is the head liner any good to use as a template, or is it already in the bin? (I need head liner bows too, or at least the dimensions so I can make my own.... If you're willing to share that info obviously) SAVE THE CELICAS!
Headliner went in the trash, too ripped to be any good but i did pull the bows - could trace them onto some paper for you and send it over if you want. Coni makes ends i believe or you could 3D print. Hit me up on Facebook and I can give you a contact of someone who's previously made headliners (i bought one for VC)

Pleasant surprise. Good to have you back. 👍👍🍺🍺
Thanks man - felt good to finally get this one posted!
We have missed you, great video
I think this car definitely needs to be saved, the more you look at it the better it looks

I feel like you're right there Owen, lots of opportunities here that don't make sense for VC, but plenty of options to continue on in a similar theme

Yep it's bee a while, there's another one coming out tonight so stay tuned!
satisfying tear down. good parts collection. love these celicas
Yeah lots on there to like - very hard decision between this one and VC.

Nice cameo Dave - more fun, but more expensive. Cam has a type 😂
Tell me about it
The guy with the lisp from O'Brien's could fix that door glass,just ask him 😂
Haha - yeah might take him a while!
I had the same car in Las Vegas. Got rear ended insurance wouldn’t let me keep the car so I brought a fastback with mags 😄
Nice - i have two fastbacks - we're just getting into repainting one of them on the channel.

Haven't watched this yet but I know I'll like it . Good to see a new video out Cam 👍
Cheers mate - its been a long time coming!
Still a beautiful car regardless of the condition it is in!
Agreed - perfect lines.

@@TheBuildRoom Cheers Cam. If I know the dimensions, I think I can make some replacement bows for myself! Can't wait to see how VC 2.0 turns out!
