That celica liftback is gorgeous and the corolla wagon is very cool. I can't wait to see the crown wagon put back together. The Mazda cosmo is awesome too, I love the way they did the chrome trim around the windows and the tail lights on those, so unique and 70s Japanese quirky. Thank you for the link!

First off, what camera are you using, the pictures and video look great!

Second, that car sounds like a well sorted sewing machine. Purrs like a kitten! Amazing for that vintage and the wood veneer is flawless.

Thank you. Did you think about the videos ES250? But the video quality is not much to brag about. Neither outfit that was used. Video no. 1 is a Samsung mobile and no. 2 is with a cheap Nikon SLR with video ... And the lack of use of a tripod ... yes, it can be much better.

Should pull myself together to get a better video. Have not had time to run a proper tour with the car yet.

The engine needs a good service I think. Does not seem that it goes as clean as I want it to. But I'll soon make sense of it.

Have decided to create many more small video about my cars, and other vehicles in the community.

Shall also make a video about my pal's 77 Celica Liftback RA28, now that it finally is fully restored. Has 2 small videos of him before ..

Soon I'm going to save a 79 Celica Supra 2.6, and thus it would have some videos from the trip too.

Congrats on the car. Amazingly clean looking. I've rarely seen this car when new, and probably the last example I can remember seeing might have been in the late 90's and that one was pretty crapped up.

I do still see the Camry that this was based on (pretty nice examples too) and it's always nostalgic to see them. The Celicas you have are another level of coolness.

Then I was home again, after 17 hours of driving.
It was 1,000 km on partially icy roads.
But then I have assured me 1 of only 4 Celica Supra Mk I in Norway.





1979 Celica Supra

I've always wanted a Celica Supra. Also perfect car to do a 2JZ swap.

No... 1JZ

This must remain original. There are very few of these in Europe ....
