i know i sound lazy but i really cant do it myself.

1. i have no garage/space 2. i dont have the experience and knowledge.

i really do wish i had the space to get in there and do it myself, i love learning and
messing around with my car, but unfortunately thats not happenning. i live in a town
where i can barely even find a parking spot...

If theres anyone near me with the knowledge and space to help me with this swap or know of a trusted shop, it would save me
from getting rid of my celica. . . and i really dont want to =(

im up for any swap, not trying to spend a crazy amount,
budget line is around 2500. BUT im not returning to a 7a.
worst experienced celica motor ever for me...

appreciate any help. =]

Swap wouldn't cost much if you could find a mechanically sound donor car, and did it all yourself. What Smaay offered to do it for is very reasonable, shame so far away from each other. The other option is pick up another car. Not sure how things are where you are, but $2,500 buys a lot of car where I live. With $5,000 getting something actually very nice. Just something to consider. Could get another car, then fix the Celica how you want at a later date. Lots of options.

yup! that's true. best thing it to get another car to use.

can't really do a swap on a daily driver. that's why mine is still a slow 7AFE. hahahaha.
