These guys take an ollllld Groupe B Celica turbo rally car and COMPLETELY restore it.. down to every little bolt and fastener. It starts getting good around picture 49. But check out their other projects as well, which include a Ford ModelA

I'd like to know how they got their hands on that 4TG-TE, that's one rare motor that was put in leman's cars at one point.

 

OH, and if you don't know about Groupe B rally cars, Groupe B was discontinued because it was a free-for-all between all manufactures with no limits on engines and chassis design. You'd see 600-700 horsepower rally cars and it got to a point where there were too many deaths thus leading to Groupe B deemed un-safe and discontinued.

That's the motor the car had in it, at least it appears. I know Rhett has one. heh

Now you need 600 horsepower just to line up for a 40 roll and 800 for a certain someone to get their car off the trailer...wheres that sarcastic smiley
