[@mckessa17]

I use to have a 77 Liftback, but I like the coupes.

[@Blbbbb]

Wow definitely got some work ahead of you. Looking forward to seeing the finished car.

[@UntappedGarage]

A lot of work for sure, but it'll get there eventually. Thanks!

[@bchnts]

I own a 77 celica too so glad to see other people giving love to celicas !!!!! Lots of love from Greece!

[@UntappedGarage]

Thank you and sending love back from the US!

[@brieflean]

Building my 77 coupe right now as well!

[@UntappedGarage]

That's awesome! Do you have a channel or other way to follow along?

[@dyziplen.]

Can't wait to see the progression! Happy wrenching!

[@UntappedGarage]

Thank you! Progress will be slow but hopefully steady!

[@zeroswings2]

sweet! hoping to score a '73 some day myself... I think they are the coolest old school car.

[@UntappedGarage]

Thanks! I hope you find one too!

[@AstarvingPonyOfficial]

So awesome! I’ve got a 72 and it is so much fun to drive. Good luck with the project! Definitely gatta follow along!

[@UntappedGarage]

Thank you! Does your 72 have the original engine or a swap? It'll be a while before this one is running and driving but I'm already looking forward to it!

[@AstarvingPonyOfficial]

@@UntappedGarage currently runs the 20r with some mods and factory 5speed. It’s setup for SCCA racing atm. Can’t wait to see your progress!

[@JamesGood]

Nice, following along. My first car, back in '89 was a '74 Celica. We called them 'Sell-Lee-Kas' in England!

[@UntappedGarage]

I find myself switching back and forth from hearing it said both ways!

[@rcodea]

Best of luck and looking foreard to watching your progress for my own inputs.

[@UntappedGarage]

Thank you! Should be a fun project.

[@hectormeneses8350]

Good project. I just picked up a 74 that I will start working on next year. Mine needs minimal body work. I got lucky and only needs little work on engine to get it riding. I am looking to keep it original. Looking forward to seeing your upgrades to inspire my build.👍

[@UntappedGarage]

That sounds like a great project! Congrats and glad you found a clean one. It makes sense to keep it as original as possible since it's clean. Will you be documenting the resto on your channel?

[@sempersupra7379]

I was looking for one for several years and finally picked a 1977 Celica Hatchback up in late July 2021. Thought I was going to have to get one from Arizona or California but found one in West/Central Ohio. I am also planning a engine swap but have not decide which engine to acquire.

[@UntappedGarage]

That's exciting! I am wishing I had gotten one from AZ at this point but I'm too far into it now. Are you starting a build page for yours?

@@UntappedGarage aaarg - cant get the oil filter off. Tried oil filter tool no luck, lubrication, and hammering a screwdriver into it.

[@dadstoygarage1878]

Nice just started watching, I found you through Instagram

[@UntappedGarage]

Thanks! I follow you on Instagram also, your project is an inspiration!

[@dadstoygarage1878]

@@UntappedGarage Thank you!

[@3411]

Great project much better than mine

[@UntappedGarage]

It's not bad but it needs some work that we don't find until some later episodes 🤣

[@jojos7184]

That board that broke in Amazon box the front passenger side is the interior surround of the glove box 🙂

[@UntappedGarage]

Gotcha! Thanks for the the info. Hopefully it can be fixed if I end up reusing it. I may end up fabbing a mount for the ECU I'll be installing behind the glovebox door so it may be left out. We'll see!
