We Found A DEAD BODY in The Trunk of This Car!

@MerlinsOldSchoolGarage and @jetskijim007 resurrect an 80's Toyota Celica and can't believe what they find in the trunk. Merlin is making it road-worthy; taking it to Chuckawalla to race the Datsun 810 with Jet Ski Jimmy....Watch to see what happens!

[@georgeweisbrod1876]

Body in trunk means mouse Marty was in the Mob!!!!!

[@bradleymadosh911]

Hoping we are talking Critters found in trunk and all we lost was a squirrel

[@georgeweisbrod1876]

The early Turbo volvo cars were carb equipped

Always like the Celicas and Toyotas. Bought a 1989 Camry wagon with 5 speed manual transmission new. Had it 16 years and 236k miles. That thing moved 4x8 sheets of plywood, a bathtub, windsurfing gear And my belongings out to Vegas and back to the Midwest. Camped in it at the Grand Canyon What a great car. Sold it when I bought my 2006 Tundra which I kept for 14 years.

[@jerrymclean8075]

I had a '79 Celica GT Hatchback and I couldn't kill it and sold it with over 300,000 miles on the 22R that was in it with a 5 speed manual transmission!! I should of kept it!!

[@carmudgeon7478]

Hey! I think I pinstriped that hood back in the 80s.

[@brettperkins4643]

The sound of that 22r brought back memories of my 85 and 88 pickup.

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

I'm currently driving an 83 Toyota truck with the 22R that has 421.778 original miles on it and still going! I put over a thousand miles a week on this truck!

[@ohiomoto]

What do you have for a bed on that thing? They didn't last more than a few years here in the rust belt.

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

@@ohiomoto it's all rusted out- but we use it as a company truck for our wrought iron buisness! I live in El Paso Tx- so there isn't much rust issues here! Hardly ever rains! The shop next door has a 4x4 in great condition! No rust- body's solid beds solid no rust! Missing the engine but has all the rest there!

[@ohiomoto]

@@genehasenbuhler2594 It's too bad those bed were so bad. Those are really good little trucks. Oddly enough, the cab and front clips last as long as anything around here.

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

@@ohiomoto you should come look at the one next door! I see a lot of them here still running with no rust on them! Just the other day I passed one towing another one on the freeway! There are plenty here! And because we live in the desert southwest there is only surface rust on most!

[@mikemiller3007]

Most of the ones here in the Shenandoah Valley are having rusted frame issues

[@markreetz1001]

Hope you didn't take that car across state lines. That dead body will get the feds involved, transporting a dead body across state lines!!

[@Flip4Ford]

Always nice to grab a cup of coffee early in the amand watch your show. Thanks for posting.

[@wtmf80]

I'm officially jealous. I used to have an '89 Celica GTS with a 5 speed. One of the most fun cars I've ever owned. Really miss it.

[@ZootSuitCooter]

Loved the 80s cheese while you were steam cleaning it, perfect ambience. lol

[@leroyll1144]

i worked for a TOYOTA dealer in so cal. back in 76/77 ,was sent on a dealer trade from san berdo to bakersfield (bout 3 hrs. ),anyway i picked up a brand new CELICA GT /5 SPEED.was in heaven all the way back to my dealership.that car was amazing.!!!! forest green w/fawn interior.!! beautiful car.!!!

[@user-ft9jw5kz9t]

Good show as always thank you kindly

[@dmwi1549]

Nice 80’s music montage! Had some Flashdance Flasbacks!

[@joesphbest3120]

Love all you do, your something else.

[@ohiomoto]

The 22Rs are nearly indestructible. I managed to bend a rod after flooding one out. It missed for a thousand miles before the rod snapped and went through the side of the block.

[@hairypaw9165]

I agree. Had 86 truck with a 22R that I ran for a year with a rod knock before rebuilding it. Ran it for another 100,000 miles until selling the truck with 300,000 miles.

[@MadBashRC]

I’d like to see a video on that 57 Chevy I keep seeing in the background of your videos. What’s the story on that. Looks super rad.

[@Leofred2000]

Did you say a Celica GT Turbo converted to a 22R? The turbo Celicas were only rhds, right? That looks only like a zenki Celica GTS RA65 Auto

[@MrCaprinut]

GT-T was only available for the japanese market yes. So rare to see a factory turbo car outside Japan.

[@johnstancato8785]

Good choice with the 80s beat while you were steam cleaning that takes me back girls using whole can of hairspray teasing the front of their hair boys were using a whole can of hairspray to and flashdance on TV go 80s

[@jonnieters2306]

I remember those cars and trucks from the 80s enjoy watching your videos

[@jonathanfreedom1st]

When they hooked up the Battery i was waiting for it to come alive like Bumble Bee 🐝 😂😂😂 then the radio station sound added to the affect. 😂😮 i have a feeling those Toyota Celicas are a bit of a unicorn these days. Im a Old GM, and Mopar Guy but newly found Toyota guy. Nice find

[@kjflyte5088]

My 84 manual gts came with all the bells and whistles lol. Criuse and a hand pump to pump up seat !!

[@taurota1554]

Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@gtoscowork]

Poor Marty….

[@kurtloptien185]

Had an '85 4Runner with the EFI 22RE in it. Great engine, did beautifully offroad, but not so on the interstate.

[@ScottsGEN-XAdventures]

I remember those cars. There were a few in my high school parking lot back in the ‘80’s.

[@mohanc2010]

Those are aftermarket power windows unit, which was available back in the mid 80s, my dad used to sell them in his auto supply shop, it was an “fancy” upgrade for many! 😂

[@jennasmith1249]

Jimmy didn't say "horn blows..."

[@riverfrontww]

I thought she went with Marty as in Marty Mcfly from Back to the Future

[@jeromed685]

That was awesome as usual, nice team work on this one, I still can't believe you made it run... but again, we are talking about Merlin here.... You forgot to mention if Marty got a proper burial....

[@psg6314]

22 R are the Toyota equivalent to the slant six bulletproof

That old 22R is one of the best 4bangers ever

[@johnmmsoutdooradventures708]

Sounds like a fun project! Go Lumberjacks!

[@stephenpoe2037]

Nothing surprises me any longer ! Thanks for sharing !

[@MrCaprinut]

Tamiya the radio control brand made the GRB version of this car. That is one of my favorites in my rc collection. I must say the rally front end looks much better than the road going version.

[@tbthedozer]

Lol the old gopher gasser is not to be trifled with!

[@kryan318]

the quest is always " lets see if it runs"

[@TheOldaz1]

Those things go pretty hard for their time and wht they were. Good luck with it.

[@dustymojave]

My brother bought an 85 Celica GTS with the 22RE in late 84. It was quick. I bought a Civic S the same month and our other brother bought a Corolla GTS. Our folks bought a new Cressida. Go Ronny RayGun. I was trying to buy a 4Runner, but couldn't find one to buy. So I was the loner. This generation of Celica was not offered in the US market with a turbo. Let alone in the mid-range GT model. The GTS model got a 22RE, the same wheels as a Supra and those flares, but you could get the flares from the dealer for any Celica of that generation. The power window switches are aftermarket. The dead body in the trunk is also aftermarket. The car looks pretty clean overall. I have a 1990 pickup that's a pre- runner. 22RE 5 speed. It's sat for a few years and the fuel in the tank connection is solidified. Tank smells lovely.

[@spookydonkey2195]

Way cool car!

[@JacobusCoetzee-qz2pl]

22R or 4Y engine theautomotive cockroach basically got good memories hearing it crank.

[@wirebrush]

I didn't think Celicas were ever turbo charged until the next generation or so with the Turbo Alltrac. It was fairly common in the late '80s and early '90s for people to put turbo badges on everything.

[@MrCaprinut]

They did turbo this TA63 from factory, the GT-T, but only for the japanese market in 82'.

[@Mike.hobbies]

Defintly came as a factory turbo

[@andreweisan9613]

In 85 that body style was offered turbo but it was fuel injected

[@Mike.hobbies]

3tgteu twin spark but not this crapper lol

[@wirebrush]

I believe MrCaprinut is correct. While they were indeed made, the 200 or so sold were all right hand drive cars for the Japan market.

[@williamlovely450]

jimmys back

[@GAMINGOBRIEN69]

Should probably report that to the poliece

[@tt600pch]

The biggest problem we found with 22R/22RE was when the plastic timing chain guide breaks and the chain rubs a hole in the timing cover. Antifreeze goes in the oil from there. We bought several with ''a bad head gasket'' that had the timing cover wear hole. Fun fact: To check it remove oil cap and blow air in radiator. If wear hole is big enough, you will hear it in the valve cover. If one is lucky it hasn't jumped time and bent the valves.

[@JRs-Garage]

My 22RE timing chain tensioner wore out too and wore a hole in the timing chain cover ran horribly but never stopped running 😂😂🤣 I was a kid and didn’t know any different until I had to fix it , old Toyota’s are the best 😂

[@bayork]

Yes, my 87 truck did the same at 198,000 miles. Owned Toyotas since 1977, my 1st new Celica.

[@davidweidner1675]

It's all good 👍

[@Dwayne7834]

😂wasn’t expecting the mouse. 22r is good old engine.

[@leesutterlin1757]

LOL, you just proved me wrong. I just told my brother the other day no one would be excited to find a decades old rice bomb as a barn find.

Wen will you build a 22?

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

I had a 83 toyota celica gt turbo liftback ,it was white with a sunroof my dad paid a dollar for it. my 17 year old self burned the wheels off it till the trans gave up . I loved that car,I was made fun of for driving a ricer till I smoked my cousins iroc z28.

[@dannygonzalez0861]

Had a 1994 Toyota Pickup with a 22re. Odometer stopped working before I drove it lmao God knows how many miles it had but it was the most reliable truck I've ever had.

[@katreniaclark]

Kind of a kewl car.

[@markrobertson9015]

Well it's only fitting it's almost Halloween and you find a Dead body in the trunk.take Care

[@rogerminter3599]

turbo celica with an automatic?

[@lonhoschar1943]

Looks like a great project car!! My condolences to Marty's family!! LOL!! Can't wait to see it running!!

[@slngblde]

22r with a carb? I knew it would run. I’ve had like 6 84 to 88 Toyota trucks with a 22r. Current is a loaded 85 ex cab with a 22re.

[@marinemaudre9058]

RIP Marty
