72 Celica

[Classicgas]

Hasegawa's kit.

Nice!  I think this is the first one of these I've seen built, looks great.

[shoopdog]

Definitely don't see any of these for sure, very nice build.

[Snake45]

Pretty cool! I didn't even know there was a kit of this. In the mid '70s, one of my best friends drove one of these, in a sort of bright apple green. He absolutely loved the thing. Nice job and model on!

Interesting subject that I don't remember ever seeing before. The fit and finish looks perfect and your build looks super clean.

[Classicgas]

Thanks. They have a stock version I would like to build.

Very nice Lee.  I have on of these kits in the stash I hope to build some day.

Very cool build of a classic car. Had a ‘72 myself. Fun car to drive. 

[Renegade]

Sharp build. Really like the dash detail.

[BigTallDad]

Your dashboard detail knocked my socks off! You must have very steady hands and drink only de-caf coffee...at 75 years old, I could never do that.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Cool. Nice work.

First car I ever race-prepped, for a sedan class in SCCA.

[cobraman]

Very well done !

If I was that driver I'd change my name.

Thanks, it's kit decals, not a steady hand believe me lol.

The one I built (red and white car on the box) had all the stock pieces in addition to the racing parts. The only things missing were the street tires; only slicks were provided. I built mine as a street version with slicks. I probably could have found some suitable street tires in my parts box, but, you know.... It was a fun kit to build.

Very nice!

This one had some stock parts, but no stock wheels, tires, or seats, no back seat either, and the chrome parts are not chrome in this version.

Interesting that there would be that much difference in what I would assume to be identical kits, Mine had all that except the tires and possibly wheels, There were optional wheels, one set of which I assumed to be stock.

[shaunmza]

I love these cars, this is definitely on my wish list of kit's to buy and build.

Yours turned out great.

[Classicgas]

Thanks. Yeah, the only stock  parts missing were wheels tires seats and steering wheel. And left hand drive dash. It has the wipers for both dash setups.

[slusher]

Looks great
