MRocha - Toyota Celica 2000GT (ST162) ’86

This is my "ST162" for parts:

I found it on the internet but it was not easy to find.



As you can see in the pictures the car was completely original condition.

He still had the original radio



The car only had one owner and was imported from Switzerland but was never legalized.

First I started disassembling the interior.



I marked all the screws on a card not to lose them.











And then the outside:

 

yes I know, but he has no documents.

 

No, it was not stolen definitely. The previous owner gave me all the documents all relating to the car as well as the original keys, evidence of auto service, and all that belonged to the car.

But as the car was imported from Switzerland and was not legalized in Portugal, the car can not run on the road. :ugh

In Switzerland they put salt on the road, so the bottom and side of the car is full of rust. Only the interior is that it is in very good condition.

My car is exactly the opposite. The body and the chassi is in good condition and the interior is in poor condition.

Is being unfair to unmount it, but it's for a good cause. All that is good in this car it will go mine.

In the future maybe this will be a project of a track day car...

 

Yes I know, the salt on the roads it's sucks ... :-x

But I'll try to take the best of both cars and make a good ST162 ...

 

The exhaust system has changed completely and the catalyst converter was removed.

The original muffler damaged:





Already with the exhaust pipe assembled.









That's all for now

 

Once i have changed the distribution kit and the exhaust system, the car now makes small explosions of fuel in the exhaust... This only happens between 2000rpm and 3000rpm.

Here is the video that shows what I'm talking about ... In the movie you can´t hear very well.. but maybe help…

So, After disassembly of the interior of the "ST162parts", I also dismounted my interior for to then make the exchange of interior with some improvements.

First step. Install dashboard…







I installed also the cables for connected the radio on the Amp. and subwoofer

 

Actually, it is not very difficult. the secret is to put labels on the wires. :wink

 

Continuing the work of the interior ...
