Woke up at 10 this morning to a phone call from a shipper saying "he booked my shipping" for 300$ from uship.com (GREAT website by the way, you register, post target price, people bid on your shipment, like if they are passing through the area with a big truck and have more space, they can make some extra bucks)

I HADNT EVEN PAID for the car yet so i frantically called the guy, who didnt answer his phone yesterday, so i was worried. well today he did, i asked if he had paypal, NO, could i pay with card, NO! damn, so i call the shipper and ask if i can pay him 800$ instead of 300$ and him give the money to the guy, he said yes, but he needs an extra 80$ for atm and paypal fees. 80$ at the last minute isnt so bad I guess, it was in the heat of the moment haha. So I transfer the money, pay on paypal, and the guys about to go pick up my shell which is:

Red 1994 celica GT hatchback. 5spd. blown motor. dont know ANY other details except it needs a new front bumper and possibly one headlight.

however, as long as its got an engine bay ready and willing for my 3sgte, im excited. the swap will start friday march 17th as soon as i get home from college.

the car will be delivered by 9ish tonight, CHUCKY! If your home then, you should go around and take pics smile.gif

oh yeah a HUGE thank you for easternpiro for hooking me up with the shell and contacting people for me, i owe you one big man.

rear break conversion
power window wires + actuator + door panel + lock setup (the stock stuff, but i have to figure out if it plugs into the sts that didnt come with it first)
airbags, airbag ecu, 2 front crash sensors.
the passenger side motor mount, gt shift cables, gt p/s lines.
headlights, im not sure which are cracked yet, prolly all of them have something wrong with them.

thats about it i think, as far as my plans go, i might be buying the power window/lock + door panel stuff from mark, as well as the gt cables and motor mount.

playr has some airbags hell sell me.

still need:

airbag ecu, 2 front crash sensor
headlights
rear brake conversion

tweak, since your a wiring master, do you know if the body harness for a celica with roll up windows is the same as one with power windows?

as in if i get all of the stock components will there be plugs for the power components?

dude, thats similar to what happened to me. I found a celica for $3000 at a dealership, called them and they told me it was a GT manual hatchback in great condition. I drove 7 hours up there to look at it and buy it with cash, and it turned out to be an ST with fake GT badging, the interior was so damaged that it had furry seat covers and the whole interior had like white stuff all over it from like water or something. To make things worst, the motor was all rusted and it had the ugliest teal flat color i've ever seen. I was so pissed at her, but before I left, I checked out another celica in the area and it was exactly what I wanted and so I bought that for $4000......with luck on my side, I made it out of the deal with a better car than I originally intended to. 1997 GT with perfect interior and exterior biggrin.gif biggrin.gif . power everything, sunroof, cd player, and the car was babied since the owner was a car lover.

I don't know, but I doubt it. Easiest thing to do would be to just custom wire it.

come to think of it the dealership that i bought my celi from classified it as a GT and the car also had GT badging. LOL course i knew better and used it to my advantage to lower the price from 9grand to 7grand. the car was in extremely great condition too with freakishly low miles...but it woulda helped my swap out if it already was a GT manual...lol oh well

Sounds like there is a trend here. When I bought mine they called it a GT. I didn't know much about Celicas then and it didn't have any badges but the Toyota symbol. I found out when I went to insure it that it was an ST but that made it easier and cheaper to insure.

Completely off topic but Dr Tweak where you going to stop? It seems as if you are sliding down the States. Maybe you will end up in SoCal and I could give you some business.
