Should I do it??? Options

[bccentaur3]

Okay so some of you guys know that last year I ended up selling my celica last year, due to money issues, and it not satisfying winter needs. So after selling it, it hit me hard after browsing through my photo bucket album and seeing my celica. Oh how I miss her. Well I ended up picking up a st165 rolling chassis. This thing was hacked up like there was no tomorrow. So $8,000 later the car is powered by a 5sgte motor and this weekend the brains will be swapped out for a honda unit. Well can I say I barely got to enjoy the AWD in the minnesota snow. I love the look for the st165 and everything, but I just miss the 6th gen. The curves. The gt-four front look, and the attention I get.

So heres my Dilemma. I can pick up a welder that will get a bunch of projects done. Some of you guys might not know that my girl friend who I love so dearly also drives a 6th gen ST. Her ST basically is the lowest grade celica you can get. MANUAL everything. What does that mean??? Its uber light to begin with.

We plan on picking up a Subie for her this summer, so should I convert it to AWD with the st165 I have? I know I will be getting a lot of flack for hacking up a ST165. But my dream is to own an st205. I'm so close, but I just have to build it.

What do you guys think?

its either put in the FIA spec roll cage in the st165 and rally it, or turn Sammies celica into a gt-four street king.

DEFINITIVELY do not destroy the ST165. If you want to convert the 6GC into an ST205 just buy all the parts needed. I have everything in my shop to convert a USDM 6GC into an "ST205" times 3. I have 3 sets or ST205 AWD rears, 6 AWD transmissions, 4 sets of ST205 brakes, and several ST205 motors. All the parts that you would just rip off off your ST165 anyways, and the rest will need to be custom made no matter what route you go. Again, don't destroy the ST165.
