A while back I had made plans to do this and Kwanza hit me with a few questions that I had to look into such as the crossmember and steering system, well I checked around and the F-Body Camaro seemed to be a good candidate for parts without having to make all of my parts from scratch. Well long story short I picked up a Camaro a couple of weeks ago and also got a running (and smoking) RX-7 FB for good measure (and $400). The Camaro is in to good a shape to be tearing apart so I will use it as a measuring board and see what comes about. It might take me forever but the thing is getting done regardless if I stick to my original parts plan or not.

I think there have been some good points and bad on both sides here. Learning how to communicate on the internet is a valuable skill. I can't spell at all, so most of the time I run my posts through a spell check. I recommend it to anyone with problems. MS word also lets you know, or at least tries to, when you need punctuation. On the other side, no one has done a RWD conversion to a Celica except for in a 5th gen that was already a gt-4. So how does anyone know what would be easiest? Maybe it is easier to build a full custom rear end over trying to make a gt-4 rear end work on a regular gt. If yungdriver wants to mess with this project, I'm not going to stop him. Even if he doesn't complete it, if he posts everything we will learn something. I wish him the best of luck with this project. Let’s all just try to be a little nicer to each other, please. Everyone needs a virtual hug here.
