Restoring a classic car like the 1974 Celica can be a labor of love, especially when you're working with a powerful 2UZ V8 engine.

In this final stage of the build, stripping down the car one last time means getting everything ready for the finishing touches.

This step involves removing any remaining components to prepare the body for paint, checking the engine fitment, and ensuring all the custom modifications are ready to go.

It's a meticulous process, but the end result—a stunning, V8-powered classic Celica—makes all the hard work worthwhile.
