Alright don't laugh, my first car was a '77 Toyota Celica ST with a 20r that I couldn't kill and believe me I tried :lmao

cause those 20 & 22R's didn't make enough horsepower to detonate...

74 Mustang II 4cyl. Bought it for $250. Rebuilt the engine and loaded it full of Radio Shack audio equipment. Was Multi color for most of it's life with me but my dad sprayed it a nice Primer Gray before it was all done. I tried everything to kill that car.
List of repairs
Rebuilt engine :before I could even drive it
Junk Yard Tranny
2 clutches (taught myself how to drive a std)
wore the front rotors down to the fins in the rotor:eek:
Pinto rear axle with 4.10's and a limited slip. Made for great donuts.
a couple of radiators. I used to stop every few miles and fill it back up.
Never had a one piece exhaust system until the last few months I owned it.


Best time where grabbing the e-brake and doing 180's

Perfect first car.
