My First Project :/, Help!!! Options

[Trbo6gen]

Welp guys, the time has come for me to start my first car project ever, on my 94 celica GT hb. I just got my graduation money and im ready to buy a front clip for my celica, problem is im not sure where to look or who to trust because of the fact that if i pay and i get a lemon, i cant graduate again and get more money. I found acouple mr2 rear clip's with the 3sgte in it but i wasnt sure if it was the same thing, seeing it already has the LSD tranny in it i was hoping i could just buy one of those and have both at my disposal. Another problem im having is performance parts, wheather it is cams/camgears etc. do i order the cams for the 3sgte engine in for the mr2? Im sure it seems dumb to you guys seeing you are damn near pro's at the 6gen but i want to get this right the first time. Or well, im screwed lol. Im hoping to find a good front clip so i can complete the swap in one weekend, seeing as i dont have another vehcile for work. Please let me know if you have any tips about any special tools i might need to buy or any parts that wont come with a clip that ill need to save and order when i order the clip.

Thanks,
Ryan

Ok,
First of all. DO AS MUCH RESEARCH AS POSSIBLE! Write everything down you need to know if you cant remember it. There are many forums on this site. 95% of all my research was in 6GC.

second, you need a ballpark of how much you have to spend. Can you do the work yourself? Or do you know someone with a bunch of mechanic (toyota) experience that can do it for you? If so, it CAN be done in a weekend. That DOESNT mean it will be done. I did my swap in 9 hours. But I did the harness before I yanked the engine out. Even so it didnt start. Turns out someone put the wrong year ecm with my car. You have to expect the unexpected.
lastly ,find a clip that fits your budget. If you dont have to pay anyone the clip cost should be about 2/3 of the cost. (just a guesstimate)
GOOD LUCK!
