Okay I have a 1994 Toyota Celica GT with the stock 5SFE motor in it. IF you check out my pics you will see I have all the Gt-Four body parts. What I want to do is do the 3SGTE swap. Not just the 2nd Gen 3SGTE swap but the 3rd Gen. Then I want to get the rear end for the GT-Four and have it installed. I have been talking to an MR2 Shop near me here and they have found me a 3rd Gen motor out of a Celica in Japan. The guy is currently putting together a quote but he is thinking about 5500 for the motor/installation. The car I have has a ton of miles on it but it looks great. It currently run great just leaks a ton of oil, and all the electronics and everything works great as well. I guess what I am asking is if I should do this or not. I'm thinking after I get the motor in for 5500 the rear end will cost another 1000 then I want to custom paint the interior and get new seats which I think will cost around 1000 then get a few dents pulled and fixed and finally get new rims and tires. All in all I believe I will have around 10-12 Grand into it. Is it worth that much to have an almost one of a kind car in the US. I know that there are a few others that have done the whole conversion but I have never seen one before. Just looking for some advice. Thanks

From what i have seen here, no money amount is too much if you love your celi. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
