1977 Toyota Celica Liftback (ra29)


To those that don't know I own a 1977 Celica. I've owned it for a couple years but the transmission slips really bad so I would rarely drive it.

Here's some quick specs.
1977 Toyota Celica
Chassis code ra29
Engine 20R 2.2L inline 4
Automatic (soon to be manual)
Rear live axle
weight aprox. 2600 lbs


I finally found some parts that I needed to convert it to manual. A couple months ago I found a manual trans (w55 I think) and some pedals out a 2wd truck. I don't know the year of the truck but it came with the basic parts that I needed. I drilled new holes for the clutch master and modified the 2 brake pedal brackets to fit. Just need to find some extra $ so I can get the flywheel resurfaced, buy a clutch, slave , and master cylinder.
