Got questions, cant find answers, Yep, 3SGTE... Options

[Chovies]

Ok so i read that buying a front clip is the way to go with the 3SGTE but i can't find ( i gather this is about to be a stupid question but eh. ) anything which says which style of clip. Now i assume it would be a ST205 clip that i need to buy but in Australia its becoming a bit of a unicorn to find but theres alot of ST185 GT4's for sale as a whole car, could i buy a car and make my own front clip or something alot more possible and less imagination combined with no real engine knowledge ?

haha

You'd need either an ST185 or ST205 clip, depending in whether you want a 2nd or 3rd gen 3S-GTE. The reason behind buying a clip is that engine sets are often missing various parts that you need for the swap, and you lose a lot more time and very frequently lose money by buying the parts individually. Plus with a clip, you can recoup some of your money by selling leftover body panels, headlights, gauge cluster, etc. then sell the leftover chassis for scrap.

You could buy a full ST185 and use everything to swap your car, just the same as an engine clip. I'd prefer you to ship the complete ST185 to me though.
