94 gt to 5sfte swap maybe much more, My progress start to finish, one step at a time Options

4 JUNE 2013

OK OK, so here is the deal. I have spent alot of time on trying to find a 6gc worth purchasing. I have found a few and have made offers that were not taken. So I decided to start my own project thread, and just turn one of my two celica's into my dream celica.

Project Basics.

94 Celica GT- Automatic 5sfe>>>>>>>>>into>>>>>>>>>> 94 Celica GT- Manual 5SFTE

I have a 95 manual 5sfe that I will be using parts out of.

Step 1. Pretty much remove everything from the 94. Interior first, then engine compartment. Then Undercarage.
Step 2. Re- carpet / customize interior.
Step 3. Get barebone frame/Engine Bay painted.
Step 4. Drive train / undercarage / wheels installation.
Step 5. Tranny/Motor installation.
Step 6. Body Kit and Paint job.
Step 7. Speeding tickets, bitches, and car shows.

Got most of my tools out of storage into the new house so will be starting tonight hopefully. Will take a few starting pictures of both cars, and keep a running list of everything. I am not doing this on the site for nothing. This is my first auto project ever, and am taking it a bit at a time as I learn things. I will have tons of questions and would love some experienced input from the users that made me into a 6gc nut.

Ideas, Concerns, positive criticism, and any other things you want to throw in here would be much appreciated. Like I said, its my first ever auto project ever. I don't know ****, but have a descent amount of cash, so am planning on having fun and doing it right no matter how long it takes.

Things I still need, been doing alot of research over the past few months and heres where I am stuck.

MOTOR / Tranny

Been looking at the 5sfe block, and was hoping to get an E tranny,


Thanks in advanced, and I look forward to doing my project with the help of all you 6gc'rs helping out along the way.

I have been doing about 5 hours of research a day. And here is the updated info on the path I am going to take.
