Ok so i have a 96 celica GT convertable, but i need a new top which would cost me like $2000, which i dont have to spend on a top right now. One of my friends has a Celica ST with no motor, so im just curious how easy it would be to swap my motor into the car.
Any help or information is awesome thanks guys |

I don't know where you're finding $2000 for the top to be replaced. I did mine myself, the top cost just about $400 with the glass defroster window and everything. A local upholstery shop wanted $800 for top/glass and installation. Find a new shop, 2 grand is a ripoff.
And it's really not bad to do, mine came with an instruction manual. I took the car to my parents' place and did it with my dad over a weekend (and that was with plenty of beer breaks). *EDIT* If you're capable of all the motor swap work, you can definitely do a top replacement.
