I had this exact car back in the 90's same color and everything. I remember it being super simple to work on and I loved tooling around in the engine bay. I "over-maintenanced" it just because I liked messing with it.
Oh the joys of being a mechanic, still these rear wheel drives are easier than front wheel ones, specially worst are V6 front wheel drive is a nightmare to work on.
Hate bolts that stay dry & bake in, but it's so satisfying once you do crack em loose. Very nice, people underestimate dirty & rusty clapped out cars potential.
Yes I have days like you having here regularly loving these gen 1 celicas not many about in uk and the ones that are can be £16000 plus so have a gen i Honda prelude which again are rare in uk loving the vids only just found them by chance you are doing a great job 👌
I busted mine but a rachet wrench is absolutely superb for Toyota water pumps well worth it. They do this a lot lol. That said though 7 bolts design on a 7mge keeps that sucker on tight with quarter turn feel torque. I got to get me some gasket paper that is mint af. Ah yea gotta be careful with Yota / Japanese bolts on thermostat it doesn't hold much torque at all to seal. Quarter turn or so once it feels tight, with a good clean thread.

My first car in 1983 when I was 16 was a 1974 Celica...Killer little car...wish I kept it.
Biggest problem with these, but also one of coolest features is the hood flipping forward. It’s the price of love ig

We had a white 74 when we lived in Tacoma washington in the early 90s just like that. It had a JDM engine in it and ran perfect. Sold it for $1000.
Dang that would be cool to still have! Did it have the 18RG engine? Dual overhead cam?

always re-assemble with hand tools, including a torque wrench. Just my .02
