Random # 397: Circa 1975 Toyota Celica

I'm not uncommonly told to act may age.  Sad but true.  I think this immaculate Celica might be able to steer me in that direction.  How?  Ten years ago, maybe five, very probably less, I'd have reimagined it from stock-standard time machine to period-sympathetic, resto-modded JDM classic in a jiffy.

15" Superlights or Wattanabes: ✅; bolt-on flares: ✅; suspension dropped by two inches, tightened up with heavier springs, gas shocks and thicker sway bars: ✅; big brake upgrade: ✅; twin-cam transplant with 45 mm sidedraft Webers, extractors and a fat exhaust: ✅; and a Momo or Nardi classic steering wheel, Recaro buckets and full VDO guages: ✅.

And now?  Maybe a set of wheels.  Breakerless ignition, perhaps.  Otherwise, leave it the F alone!  It's absolutely perfect as it is!  

Please don't judge me.  I'm a victim of my year of birth.
