- We do what you should never do when building your dream car...we added up the build cost on Connie Celica, our 1977 Toyota Celica GT coupe. The number is pretty significant given how inexpensive the car was to buy, but we're still totally stoked on this project and what a special car it'll be when all is said and done.

$28K for a complete build. Now the painting of it, and tuning.
Moose labor: $20,000.
Moose food $25,000
this strenght doesn't comes from thin air
Don't go giving Moose any ideas about his worth! ;)
@@speedacademydave i think he knows, but he likes you guys to much :P
Moose's worth increases everytime he breathes, he breathes in silica particles suspended in the air, his lung compresses them and he breathes out nano gold particles. What the pharaohs of Egypt spent millions on in their time our Moose does it when he's just dozing after a hard days work on the Celica. The hardest part of his job is holding back his immense strength so that he doesn't damage the car or the tools.
@@fila1445 haha well we have been friends for 20 years. Moose and I both built Honda D16 engines together back in the day, and by built I mean we actually assembled them ourselves, ported the heads ourselves, fixed the leaks ourselves :D
I appreciate getting exactly what you want for a special build like this. You don't want to go that far in and have any regrets.
Exactly. No Ragrets! :P
You did it right. Smiles per miles. And that sound. You can't buy that for less than $35k. So much character with that car. I love it.
thanks, I'm stoked how she's turning out!
@OCD Stig so could I, but that would be completely missing the point.
Darker Silver/ Grey Will be boombastic
Thanks for being so frank and sharing the costs as you did. If somebody says, and they will, "Well you'll never get your money back out of it"; then they don't get it. Great job, great channel.
Thanks again for making us a part of this build! I can't wait to drive with you guys.
$35k is very reasonable. As you say what can you buy for that money. You built this car to the exact specs you wanted! It's your car, that's priceless. Never sell this car.
What a great video! The elements that always come to mind during extensive builds like this is the knowledge, experience, skills and connections you've gained from the entire process. Not only have you ended up with a phenomenal track car but you've also gained valuable skills and made some new friends along the way! Not only that, but you've contributed to the Celica community and passed along some critical info to Excessive to now make new parts that others can purchase and enjoy. Two thumbs up fellas, this beast was worth every penny.
Thanks!
Can't put a price on a good classic properly built Celica! I hope mine comes out this good!
You certainly can put a price on it but all us enthusiasts choose to ignore it and block it from our heads
You too
The build came out Really well ! well done boys!
Since you started this build i held off on mine so that i could follow your recipe. Looks like i have no more excuses, time to get cracking !
Man you guys spent a ton but in reality save so much doing it all yourself for the most part. This build is great and it's cool you guys show what it cost so people understand what it costs.
Love what you guys do. Keep up the awesome work. Looking forward to watching the progression of this and future projects.
Well done guys, well done. I'm now on my interior and body on my ra42 celica I've been building along side you. Can't wait to see you finish.
7:49 Pete's reaction legit made me laugh.
I really like the visual format of these videos. More talk shows should be shot this way.
i appreciate these videos i can imagine the editing takes awhile for this (finding old clips and such). i still have an old spreadsheet from a car i was building years ago. its amazing how fast things add up!
Re-watching this episode after the recent update from Street Bandito (which includes the color reveal - nice pick! Matches my AW11). So looking forward to more episodes on this build.
Thanks for sharing! No one ever shares the price especially in this much depth 🤙🏻 for a full race car the price is not even bad!!!
Price doesn’t matter when you are saving one of Japan’s Icons from the scrap yard. It’s too bad that no one tried to save these Old beauties sooner. I’ve built several ST162, ST165, and ST184 Celicas. I’m currently building a 1978 TE51 Corolla and I’m about 5k into the car and about 6 months from it being finished. Good work boys! You are doing The JDM god’s work lol
Love the content and attention to detail.
Same here, they didnt skip on anything
I love the series I have 77st that i have myself and much thanks for these videos, big help!! Will have mine together too! Love from north Carolina !
I'm doing almost exactly the same build. My project was started about 4 years ago and you guys and Matt panic have totally beaten me to the punch. As you guys have shown all these various items add up and can't really be avoided with an engine swap project like this. My budget is pretty much the same.
Nice! Its shocking when you add up the numbers but like you said, when you do a rebuild, especially in this short of a time frame it adds up fast. Build the car you want not the car the internet wants!
Love this series. Keep it up guys.
Don't forget this is with mostly free labor and doesn't include the paint and other things. I've been restoring/modifying cars for a LONG time and it really never pays off unless you do the labor and get the right kind of project. This is a VERY different car from what you started with. It's awesome that you pretty much went all out on just about everything. I have a 1971 Coupe that I want to get back on the road. Did pretty much everything myself.
Whoa I didn’t even know this build existed on this channel! Definitely gotta check them out now :D
Sleepy you’ve been “sleeping” on this! Hahaha
love watching the videos on this build. I own and race a 77 Celica as well.
Have a look at the silver that came out on the proton satria GTi, IMO it’s the best silver out there. Also love the Celica build, I’ve got a 74 ta22 running a 3T with 80KW atw, I loved how you guys not only did a break down of how to replace the parts you did but where to get them from, priceless information. Looking forward to seeing Connie finished 🤘👍
I always loved the last year of the rwd Celica. 1985 Celica GTS 💯
Damn! I love that old Celica! My first car was a 75. Going back and watch all this build! The color that I liked best was Toyota Pure Yellow. I built a VW dune buggy and painted it that color.
We want more of Connie!!!!
Would love to see what she can really do...
Built is always better than bought.... Superb work.... Classic are always the answer....
It's all about the smiles per gallon fellas. Car looks great love the look sounds awesome too
Thanks for building what to me is the best looking Generation of Celica's ever !! and the performance already is impressive. I vote Silver because that is the color that I once had but Aldo really like Charcoal as well !!
Thanks again
I just made a video on How Much Spec Racing Costs, and it all does add up quickly no matter what Motorsport your doing. All worth it though!
You can pay 35k for a new car and it will depriciate to 5k in 7-8 years, or you can build something like this (if you know how to do it) and it will probably not lose a lot of value. Great project.
I love this car and I think white or silver will look amazing!
Best car build/ restomod videos I've ever seen! I even got one of cousin to watch it and his English is choppy. As far as paint I would go with a Lexus White Pearl or a Blue Pearl and still keep it a Toyota color ;) . Can't wait to see season 3 .
that car is badass! nice job!
Mine was painted ferrari red but a pearl dark blue will look better ithink as it will give you a nice contrast with those wheels...you may want to consider taking off the front air scoop ... the will look smiling instead of tongue out... Great Build....looking forward for the next vid.
Toyota used a silver color in the 90's--Alpine Silver Metallic. It went on a lot of Supras and Celicas. It's a very light, bright silver, almost flirting with white.
What a great build guys, can't wait for season 3.
Here's my 2 cents:
Paint it in Porsche Rhodium Silver, it's a beautiful shade of silver with a hint of blue. The overfenders, front lip and boot lip in matte black. Wrap the bumpers in chrome foil. For the interior, go crazy. How about some black and white houndstooth fabric on the seats and door cards?
Well, anyway... It's your car DP, whatever you do to it it's gonna be awesome. Merry Christmas.
Looking forward to body, paint and interior. I think u saved yourself a ton. When it's done, anyone would say 80,000 resto from a shop.
still a badass car, even for the money. basically a dream build classic Celica.... nicely done IMO.
I put a 302 carbureted V8 and a Ford 5 speed in 76 Liftback with a custom rad, 2 1/2" exhaust and gas tank and hydraulic clutch. I haven't even touched the paint or interior and I'm into it for at least $15000. But I've owned it for almost 38 years and have used it well. I just want to complete it for car shows and cruising. She's got over 300 hp and not much has been done to the motor. I get 5th gear chirp. So cool.
40k for a new nice car. Or 40k for the most unique car that you'll love more than any other. It just starts cheaper, but you're paying for memories and much more
Worth every penny!
Think it would look awesome in Grigio Scuro from Ferrari. I've really fallen in love with this color in the last few years.
+1 for Xcessive Motorsports and DriftMotion for supplying 90% of the goodies for my 1JZ vvti Cressida swap. Those Portland bois are wild!
Standard color silver my choice , I had Yellow 75'st Celica then square headlights Black one later..then Black AE 86' GT Corolla(4 12yrs)/ Intra alloys faboulas car & times/ Civic Ek4(4 20yrs) now updating certain mods ..nice to have expertise & tools good luck with Celica DIY ME...::))
Silver with the original GT side stripes would be superb man. Astonishing project guys.
You can get years of happiness out of this car and if you ever do the unspeakable and sell your baby, it will pay for itself!
Worth every penny that ride is sick
I think it would look great with 070 Toyota Blizzard Pearl White!
I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say, we can’t wait to see the outcome no matter the color!
About the color: Anthracite or a really dark silver and then make the inner part of the wheels golden. My Fulvia has that color combo with matte black fender flares and it looks ace. The color is called Grigio Pietra and it is a Fiat 500 & Lancia Ypsilon color.
Thumbs up boys, that is a sweet build
Silver looks clean and classy
My Ford Escort was Oxford white. It made a co worker mad as it was a whiter white than his Scion TC, causing it to look dirty. He refused to park next to it for that reason, so I would have to park next to him and he would move it when he went to lunch. I vote you paint it Oxford white.
Awesome vids, keep it going🤙🏾! Question, I loved how you did the conversion of suspension AE86 in yours. I am planning to do the same on the front and rear. Any insights of list what I need to do to get it done? Looking completely changing the struts , suspension and rotors , hubs. Cheers
That’s pretty spot on man, I’ve got right at $25 k tied up in my Coyote swapped Notch right now.
Worth every penny
BMW Arctic Silver with black fender flares would be so choice.
I just put all the receipts in a folder. I thought about adding up what I have spent so far, but now I don't want to know! 😲
Totally worth it!
Thank you. I feel much better about how far I am into my Celica. Or how far my Celica is into me.
What a steal. Seriously any other ground up restomod would be easily $100k. This isn’t just adding coilovers, rims, tires, an intake and an exhaust to a used import.
Money well spent for something done properly and with quality. You’ll never regret your expensive wiring when you’re watching someone put out an electrical fire or chase fuses and relays or shorts at the track.
Your catch can looks sooooo happy
Honestly I think that's pretty reasonable considering what you get for that, what else could you have for 30 grand? To have a ground up build of a vehicle you love done exactly the way you want... Easy worth it.
My vote is for silver. Really appreciate you guys putting this info out there!
First time watching your videos. Do you guys do work fob other people’s cars? Do you guys have a shop? Amazing video thank you...
Who cares what it cost? It's yours. You built it. And if you're happy, that's all that matters. Great stuff guys. Thanks!
Looking at this and I wanna keep my Celica simple, but man that Beams engine is nice.
I would think a flat gunmetal gray would look pretty nice on that car.
Also, you forgot to add the budget for the dry ice and the moose. One of those things can't be cheap.
Hey guys. I love the car and your show. Silver & Gun metal gray metallic accents
Jdm legends have an ra24 build on their site, and they used the paint code from an old Mercedes silver. It looks amazing on the car, but it will obvioulsy be trickier to blend/repair than white. I suggest checking it out, solid colour there
Cool, will check it out, thanks! JDM Legends does amazing work.
I would love to see a retro base colour and period fat side stripe. Like a gold-ish brown with yellow/red/orange sort of stripes. White is a cool safe bet but the right silver shows body lines in all the right ways.
Ya I think you're probably right about the silver showing the lines better. We'll definitely be putting some sort of retro cool graphics on it too. Just you wait! :D
I love the videos and love these build update cost by cost videos, but I am not a fan of the click bait style title used for this video. I just don’t want you guys to sell out for the monies per view like so many other channels do. You’re hands down the best auto channel on CZcams, and you’re the only auto channel I follow.
That amount of money is what it takes to build proper car. Quality parts that won't fail on you on the first turn.
blue colour on it looks really nice too. I think it was an oe colour here in Australia. other than that silver.
I learned how to drive a stick in a 1976 Celica GT 5 sp. Lift back. that was fun.
Great job on the build! I vote silver. Lexus’ Mercury Metallic (1F2) is a great silver.
Always have Respect for anyone who does it. Gangster
Hey guys great videos, just started watching because of the celica, what is speed academy other than a CZcams channel ? You guys are based in Toronto ?
Cool , I had a 1977 fastback GT model. I always thought it would be cool to put a small v6 in it.
I did have headers and high performance cam on the stock 20R engine. It had about 400k miles on it when I sold it . I couldn’t keep it anymore cost too much
1D0 Toyota Liquid Silver I would love that as a Celica fanboy. First gen in Seventh gen paint.
All those cars in the garage... y’all could probably do a separate video showing all the little maintenance you do every couple of months: charging the batteries, keeping track of all their oil lives, rotating tires, etc.
Do you really want to add up how much you put into your car/cars?
My vote is "Toyota Super White" (very crisp pure white ) I would like to see the blue GT rocker panel stripe retained. I think it accents the looks of the car well.
Great deal for the money you have a brand new old car for 35 k wow so crazy!!! I was looking for you guys at pri
Lockups are not just the proportioning valve issue, it's the spring in the push rod in the Master cyl designed to keep up the pressure in the drums. Ah well 2nd time I've told you this, fix it and don't end up almost killing somebody like someone I used to know did...
maybe do a two tone silver and white. that way you only have to decide the pattern. either way car looks great.
thats a good price for a celica with dope parts. now paint it $35,000
Go for one of those unique factory Toyota colors, like lily white or Seminole red.
Not that bad. Makes sense with making a new old car. Subaru satin white pearl! Is a dope white but I think silver for this car would be best. One vote for silver
May I suggest painting it emerald green?
Do you guys have a build sheet of the components you have used?
I think it will look beautiful in silver...
My favorite jdm car of all time followed by the 85 gts
It would look sick in red! But white is better than silver!
She is beautiful go all out with interior go with the white .
Silver with the body-kit in chrome or dark-chrome vinyl would be awesome.
