Need help locating a 94-99 st205 front clip, Not from lack of effort. Options

[Learningcurve]

Hello this my first post but i have been lurking this forum for quiet some time now.(like at least a year) anyway long story short i picked up a 95 celica st (at200) off craigslist for $300 thinking it was gonna need a ton of work, when in fact i drove it home. Anyway it has 358,000 miles on it and the tranny sychronisers in 3rd and 4th are gone(only bad thing about it). So i have been saveing up my money cause i dont make loads, but now that i have about 3k to buy my front clip the ONLY one i can find is in japan and its like 2,500 plus 1,100 shipping. Just wondering if anyone has a good place where i can find a 94-99 st205 front clip that isnt half way around the world.(i live in the states so anywhere closer would be pref).
Thanks for the time it took to read my rant...

Or should i just get a 3sgte engine for 900 and just start sourceing parts like a mad man since i cant use the awd tranny that comes with it anyway?
