1996 Celica GT: The Roadtripper, 1MZ swap: 90% there Options

[bnr32celica]

I'll just skip to the good stuff here as no one likes a long story.

Bought car, lowered, blew head gasket, fixed. Put in some 5GC cams and a header at the same damn time. Drove, let friend drive for a while, got back. Head asked blew again, did again. Motor started knocking, and here we are.

The go:
--1MZ swap in the bay, awaiting wiring
--S54 with welded diff

The stop:
--5x114 swap in progress (I still need wheels)
--V6 Camry brakes

The dance:
--Tein Stechs
--GR2s
--Rebuilt rear end
--GT4 rear tower bar

The show:
--2post
--OEM 15s painted black (for now)

The beats:
--Sony Bt2900
--Alpine Speakers

The glasses:
--HID lows
--Yellow highs

Staying busy and focused on the car is the name of the game right now. I now more than likely need to pull out of my ass $700 for a conversion harness, which is pretty much bodywork money I had allocated. Frustrating, yes, but it's only money. I might even attempt to do the harness myself and see where that goes.

I hope to at least drive her before winter, so that way I have that little taste of awesomeness to hold me over.

Big shouts to my uncle though, dude is a beast.

Heading there now to possibly mate the engine and transmission, and drop the whole shebang in!
