Hi guys, I know this is a bit off the map as far as 6th Gens are concerned but my mom's first car she ever owned was a 79 Gt liftback and 14 years ago it was put into storage. Today im going to either get it running or get it pulled out but im going to need parts.

So what im wondering is if anyone knows if/where parts mite be sold for something that old. I tryed posting on celicatech.com but i didnt get a response so i figured I'd try here.


If anyone has any ideas let me know

Thanks
Alex

congrats alex!
we have several members here that have the parts EPC that can help you with part #s if needed. your local toyota dealer will prolly become your new best friend..lmao
good luck, and be sure to post some pics when you rescue her!!

Toyota will still have parts for a 79!, SWEET!!

Im going to take some pics today and post them later on

Thanks

Those are really nice celicas, I'm interested to see the condition yours/your moms is in! Also, try www.celica-club.co.uk. Oddly enough, they've got quite a few amazing celica there, all gens. You will only be able to post in the newbies forum and maybe the generations forum I think, until you become a full member. You'll have to pay for that. Anyways, if you do wind up finding some parts over here, let me know if you need someone to ship them for you! It's all good. (ask culpable04, I just shipped skirts for him he ordered from Leeds, Uk to NJ)

**edit**

Is that a gen2?

Actually im not sure what generation that year is... Its not in that bad of shape, tho 14 yrs in storage can do alot to the car. I know that it will need a lot of work but im up for it... im going to put up some pictures later.

Yep, 79 is a 2nd gen Celica

Im going to put up some pictures soon as i take a couple more, but im curious, are several of the parts on celicas interchangable across generations or no?

I'm sure that depends. Maybe something from a gen 1 may fit on yours (maybe not gen 3 b/c they look different) but anything higher up I would say most likely no. What do you have in mind?

I believe there is a site that is strictly 1-3 Gen Celicas.I think it`s called classiccelica,or something along those lines.Just do a Google search.

Man you guys are awsome...I was wondering about the parts because i took a look at the rear brakes which were of course drums and they very similar to 6th gen drums...but i will definatly check the other sites my man from the UK up there so generously found, thanks m0dd3d1.

Damn 14 yrs. Be prepared to drop the tank and many more things.

Congrats on your HOT ASS CAR!

It's all good, if I can help at anything I will (not that I know remotely anything). I was helped out so much when I first got on this site [and everyday!] so I try to do what I can.

Seriously though, let me know.

Hoped those sites helped, all I did was use the all mighty google!
