is this true? Options

[4-eyed-freek]

so i have been doing way to much searching and i have come up with almost nothing.... i have seen a few celicas for sale that are in good condition and i would love to get another. but im not sure i want to pay the price of the car. than try to turn it into what i want and most of us here want (gt-four). i was reading that there is a 25-year Federal exemption means, until 2019, before it could be legally imported, personal use or not. anyone know if this is true. or better yet anyone know how to get one here with out problems. it seams to me that there is really no reason i cant go to Canada buy the car. and just drive it back here. any input would be great.

(the only reason i bring this up is a few thing happened in my life recently, and its time to live the one life ive been given and not sit on my a** and wait for something i love)

Its not that hard to swap vin numbers on a car. Just cut out the portion of your firewall above the master cylinder and weld in the same piece from a USDM celica which you have a title for. Technically it would be illegal if you were trying to break the law(steal fraud whatever) but if you had a legitimate reason to do it, like the firewall had a rust spot on it, then noone would ever care. The vin number would make it a legal usdm celica and even though the vin numbers on every other part wouldnt match up you could have theoretically swapped everything over.
