well i finally was able to get a digital camera and post up some pics of my project. im converting my celica st to a gt4. all wheel drive and all. the motor is put in and runs great, purrs like a kitten...... im in the process of doing my rear end now. its gettin there. well here are some pics of my masterpiece in progress.
 -gt4 front end conversion  -front end w/ hood open  -the rear end is in place, almost ready to bolt up.  -side view of the celi  -interior....what a mess. never thought it would look like that!  -engine....ahh pretty. at least i think so! well tell me what you think and if you have any suggestions.... feel free to let me know. I fixed your links so they would work here. Nice swap. This post has been edited by defgeph: Oct 28, 2005 - 8:25 AM |

looks like it is comming along guy. I'm sure you and your Dad can get this thing rolling. I have some pics of the underside of GT-fours if you need them for reference.
I'm glad to have seen it in person. Good luck

I need to know how your doing your rear end for the conversion. I might just go this route someday when I want an AWD.
So how does the AWD tranny work? Did you have to cut anything and wield stuff on? We need lots of pics! |
