I know it's a Toyota Celica, but i'm not sure which generation.
The steering wheel and auto shifter were what gave it away:

So that's what happens when you put the engine in the front of a 911! Can you imagine what the weight ratio would have been on that configuration?
911 theft recovery + rolled Celica = Toyoche Carelica.

Makes you wonder if whoever built that thing had sprung for real brakes, if it would have been able to miss what it hit

YEP, Celica GT. And it hit something HARD. It looks odd in the before crash pic above. Some of the welds, that I could see, were done very well. But yeah, why?!?
The yard is loaded up with cash for clunker cars. So if your looking for FI to modify, now is the time.

Seriously?? I think I've been struck blind.
No, I WISH I'd been struck blind. I actually can still see those damn things.
Wow, if I ever thought the 914 was less than beautiful, all I had to do was see your last two posts, Andy. Whew, that last one ... with the lights ... it reminds me of the one time I looked at a website like "something awful" dot com and had nightmares for weeks.

That's just the header collector that then connects to the down-pipe.

Dammit you guys are going to make me take a pic of the abortion sitting at my friends shop. It's a " DP 935 " straight out of 80's Miami.
Looks like this but in white. I'll try to remember to take a couple pics tomorrow.

We need a site like this to collect these rare examples of the manifistations of someone's dreams, or maybe nightmares. Be careful of what you dream for. I wish I could find that 914 on Craigslist that was made to carry a float, it would fit right in.
