This 1977 RA23 Toyota Celica is owned by our mate Leigh and was originally built by a couple of local legends on the Sunshine Coast. Both Leigh's father Colin and George May converted this very tidy Ra23 over 20 years ago from an 18R to a Rover V8 but after years of use the old 3.9L V8 was well past its use-by date and it was time for a swap.
Al has now converted this Gem to a BEAMS 3SGE and J160 6 Speed which in our opinion the perfect combination for this awesome classic Toyota!
