So I've been working with this guy down in NH who's had his Celica at a shop for more than a year getting a 3SGTE swap done. The guy just wouldn't finish it. So I went down and picked it up. There was a question about how we were going to load his lowered car with molded front bumper onto my dolly, but as you can see, we figured something out.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You guys should have seen this place, it was downright scary. The "shop" that he was working out of was a garage bay so small that with one car in there you could *just* walk around the sides and front of it (not even the back of the car), and a milkcrate full of hand and air tools on the floor. He stuck the engine into the car with two mounts, didn't cover the intake, turbo, or oil filter flange, the lug nuts weren't tightened down, it just went on and on. Now I'm worried about what I'm going to find when I get to work on it... LOL But the good news is, it's safe and sound at my shop now. Getting it off the dolly was even easier than loading it, and loading it went EXTREMELY well. I couldn't believe we pulled it off so easy! -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |

LOL, that'd be cool
About 3 hours, I think. A little more, maybe. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
