    Free mod now since it's kiinndaa illegal to sell a real life car mod. Got some comments saying it's illegal so yea, it's gonna be free.

    Ah yes, the first generation of the Toyota Celica, also known as the flat light.
    I've searched the internet upside down to find a celica like this for beam but I just cannot find one. My dad owned a whopping four of them so i know quite well of them.

    The initial trim levels offered were ET (1.4L 4-speed), LT, ST (1.6L 4-speed, 5-speed manual, or 3-speed automatic) and GT (1.6L 5-speed) with GTV added in 1972. For export markets the Celica was available in three different trim levels; the LT, ST and GT.

    I've already got a few configs in my head and alot of customization for the car. I haven't got any pictures of the car i'm working on so far but I can show you a real one (that probably doesn't exist anymore).

    One of my dad's many celicas.

    I also plan to do alot of details from the cars including engine tags, lots of different engines, chassis number in the engine bay, broken parts (especially for the farm rotter config), lots of skins and lots of configs (as many as I can think of).

    So yea, if anyone wants to help me with this I would be more than appreciative.

    can't wait to compare this to the Signia (since it's loosely based off of it)

    Awesome. I am in the process of restoring a 1973 Toyota Celica GT with my dad. However, I don't think it's legal to sell a real life car mod. If you need, I can probably help with the engine torque curves.

    What do you mean it's not legal to sell a real life mod? What about all the existing irl paid mods on ko-fi, patreon and other platforms?

    the car companies still own the desgin of their cars. so when you use it and make money off of it, they usually arent a fan.

    if this is branded as a Toyota it is technically not legal to sell it

    ibishu or hirochi or another brand and it would be legal

    Really? Selling an IRL-branded car mod for money? Why?

    Yeah, but there already is a lore friendly Celica, so no need of a new paid one

    you cannot legally sell a real branded item without the proper licensing
