So i desided. That since the swap isnt happening in the blue coupe anymore
i should make a new thread for the new celica So lets get to some pics   So this is the new one I just bought her off of dakotah( dakotahwatt) the 5s just let go an blew the rod on cly 1 so she was done an hes fed up so i jumped on buying her   Me an dakotah starting the tear down  Me removing the bumper  Us removing the radiator  The hole in the 5s block  starting to pull 5s    The 5s out an the 1mz setting behind waiting for a few more parts  Favorite pic the jackhandle going through the holecin the motor  Finally the empty engine bay  Pic of 1mz Hopefully alot more to come soon Orderin the clutch from southbend soon an ordering a stock flywheel tomorrow Sending the wiring harness out sometime next week Lookng at getting a aftermarket radiator Probably getting a new drivers axle too That should be the bulk of what i need to get her running Ive got around 1300 to get her on the road Lmk what you guys think -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy
