This body was in a scrapyard auction, along with another damaged body and a broken chassis.
Was able to repair and reinforce the broken chassis, and stripped the excessive amount of paint of both bodies, but the 2nd body
was too badly affected by the paint and the stripper to use. As it did not have a motor, I did the same conversion as for the other Celica
I have, and put a mabuchi motor in it and left it as a 2 wheel drive car. Also adjusted the guide and put better axle holders on the rear
so the rear wheels do not pop out like the others do. The body I repainted in a midnight blue. The pics do not really do it justice, but blue does
not seem to be captured well by digital cameras.
