Ok so my Celica got wrecked and ive come to a few decisions with it. As it is only front end damage (front bumper, head lights, fenders and hood are shot.. still have to get it in and see if anything needs to be done to the frame its self.) once im done sueing the people that caused the wrecked and get it repaired should i use the money to secure the frame then order a GT four front clip or just say screw it and sell it off? i was thinking if i can verify the frame is ok, then i can just use the body paneling from the GT four and the engine minus the tranny and all other details needed. And has anyone in CO done a swap that might be willing to lend some assistance? I do have a decent amount of automotive experience (ASE and have degree in auto tech) but ive never done an actual swap... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
