First car - 1982 Toyota Celica GT
I installed a full Mitcom body kit during my 2nd year in college and had it painted. It turned out excellent (pat on the back).
Also removed the tranny and torque converter just to do it.
Well, not true, had auto tranny issues so I thought I could take the tranny apart and find the problem. Couldn't find anything obvious and put the car back together.
