Gt4 front end conversion Options

[NaderG]

I been looking through posts and stickies and i am still very confused about this. next year i am planning to do a major project on my car in which i will either swap my engine or add a GT4 front end or even both . The Gt4 front end conversion parts are posted in the stickies but still are confusing to me , can somebody that did it before tell me exactly which parts need and a simple guide of what needs to be done ? thanks everybody

The how to is great , but instead of cutting i should buy the brackets , also do i need ALL the parts on the diagram ?? .. could you help me put a list together , just part numbers would be fine ?

ST205 Lock Assy, Hood (LHD)
53510-20510

ST205 Cable Assy, Hood Lock Control (LHD)

these part numbers will not work on ToyotaWorld's online part number search, you have to call them and ask.

Yes, but only if you have a turbo on your engine.

just kidding


I'm sure it is possible. How would it look though? The curves on the coupe already look as if they do not belong. Maybe I am just too used to seeing hatchbacks... who knows.

verts look good, just take a look at jgreenings old celi

[KB-2]

im pretty sure coupes/verts have the same "curves" as the beloved hatchbacks....our rear end is a tad longer..thats about it really...to my knowledge anyway..

Yes , this is my favorite car , i am actually planing to build mine like it , i know it would be better to come up with my own style , but i just think that this is the best it can get

oh oh, GTFOUR front end on convertibles is so sexy .

[Lovo]

yeah his celica is beautiful with the gt-four front end. i agree.

[NaderG]

my car needs a spoiler as well ... i dont want something that is too big , i want one that is not too big
eg: the spoiler on the jgreening car , where can i find one like it ..... plz suggest something if u have something on mind ..... my car will have alot of silver on it , i will paint the Gt-four grill and hood parts silver and probably will go buy some silver decals .... so i was first thinking of a very low curved aluminum wing but i am not sure ...

[MaskedMan]

didn't jgreening sell his car? Anyways, the spoiler on it was the factory 2 post spoiler for the coupe/convertibles. That's really the only low spoiler other than the 3 post spoiler factory spoiler haha. I heard the 2000+ eclipes spoiler fits, and i think one of the mustang spoilers fit as well.

[NaderG]

you live in southern California too , do you know anyplace where i can actually test fit spoilers ? and yes J sold his car but its still his , since his the one who build it
