I wonder why the kit's festooned with a catalytic converter ???? No such an animal until the 1975 model year...

Festooned! Good word!?

*where do you see a catalytic converter?

That is so kind of you to offer. I would actually take you up on that if it's not a hassle. This build won't win any contests and I rarely have anyone see my work but me. But I'm the one that will always know it's missing a rear view mirror. I've never transacted over this forum before if someone would like to show me the ropes. Again though, I'm pretty much done with this kit so it all depends on timing. I could not bring myself to spend $6.99+shipping on Ebay.

no trouble man, just shoot me your address to my email and ill send it out.

haha, i know the feeling about the shows and knowing that something is missing that should be there. for a while it was lonely being the only guy to bring imports to the shows or meets.

A couple photos of my old 1974 Toyota Celica.

When I first purchased the car it had a vinyl roof, which I had removed when I had it painted.

Totally brings back some memories. Any photos I had are long gone. My car was orange with a brown vinyl top. Funny, when I started this kit I was going to do a chocolate brown.

The front bumper chrome was bad, so I painted it Tremclad flat black.

This one's ready for the shelf. One glaring body paint fubar and several little ones, but I like it.

Good looking Toyota. Nice work on pinning the mirrors.
