Hello,
I'm Wes and live in Belgium. My hobby's are everything that has an engine i'm a huge celica fanatic so i had a few (as pictures will show) I started 8 years ago with bying my ta23 and up till now still searching for parts. i have heaps of used parts and i'm now trying to collect the hard ones (like flat taillight trim,...) Some people find it strange that i collect first and restore after but i also have house that needs rebuilding , 2 children ,... My family helps me rebuild the house (specially my dad) so i return the favor by restauring there cars etc. Somewhere in time i also bought a ta22 (no pics there on other pc) and a t18 2.0 16v turbo.
Pics say more than words:

my t18 turbo
i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy351/sloef665/10-09-2011011_zps93cbba6f.jpg
Green one my daily t18 1.6 16v

i807.photobucket.com/albums/yy351/sloef665/HPIM0489_zps3a4cde51.jpg
ta23 half way build
My red low milage t18 is also a 1.6 and is going to replace my daily green one in the future (currently stored in box)
My ta22 is parked in my garage and needs to be completely overhauld (pics on other pc , i will post them in the future.
Reason wy i joint this forum is because i'm curious what the classic celica's are doing in the rest of the world and ofcourse also so we could help other people. Example : i'm looking for flat lights bezels (this is how i got here by searching parts) but i'd like to return the favor so if you guys are looking for something , just mail me. The only thing i'm al little afraid for is the shipping costs.
Kind regards from Belgium
