Title: Photo Gallery: Restoration of an older Celica rally car

From "found in a field" to museum quality in just 311 Pictures...just keep clicking "next" and prepare to be amazed.  Lots of painstaking rust repair and fabrication.

Man, some captions sure would have been nice! Wonder who footed the bill for the resto, cause that was expensive!
Beautiful work!

Somewhere in those photos is a clue as to where the money came from. The number plate has Bahrein on it - the Sultan is one of the richest men in the world.
