[toyorotor]

Well here is my second Project that I want to share with you guys, Its a 1974 te27 from cali "no rust" thank god. Its been on hold till now, We've jumped on it and are making progress. I will post every picture I take and the progress. And hopefully remember part numbers or were I brought the parts as I go along.
As far as plans go, I plan on keeping it 3tc "hopefully F.I" like will did that 1.8 TE72 from the other web site. I want to run A/C on the car and keep it simple. I have metal SR5 flares for it, but I cant get my self to cut the quarters or fenders on the car since its a very solid car. Well here are some of the pics from the start:
