I had plans to do this to my celica but always wondered how it would look when accomplished. Now I know. And I now I will do it.

Another point to consider here is that it’s only 14k. Factor in what it takes to make a race car, what you paid for your celica, and what it would cost in parts to build something like this, and it’s a no brained. Heck, one of those verts went for 10k, and it was stock.

Low mileage clean stock cars always go for more than modified. I mean look at matching number old muscle cars, some of those are going for half a million.

I do like the bumper delete. The thing is that the specs that car was built to might not be legal in a lot of other classes anymore or might only be competitive in a vintage racing series.
