Right hand drive, Whats cheaper, RHD w/3S or importing the gt4? Options

[rudeboy3d]

So lets say money is an object, that I personally value greatly. Let's also assume that I don't want to cut corners and would prefer send the work out......


A right hand drive Celica makes me wet... And a nice blow off is orgasmic...

Would it be cheaper to get a Celi with a good body and then get a 205 half cut *if I could find one* and then have the 205 motor and RHD dealio put in

or would it be cheaper to import the King Celica (GT-4)?


Searching for prices, someone on this site said about 12 grand to import the 4... any truth to that?





As far as a motor swap and a conversion goes, theres is a guy, Jeremy Blackwell, www.speedforsale.com , who dropped in a 2JZ into an S14 and did an RHD conversion....



I am looking for the best balance of quality and price.... the bang for the buck thing... Positive and/or informative oppinions only... thanks, in advance



***EDIT*** Doesn't matter if its AWD or FWD, long as its got a turbo and I gotta shift with the left hand

AWD isn't that much of a factor to me. I've had an All-Trac and it was a unique driving experience. I was just wondering what would be cheaper. Probably should have mentioned that it doesn't matter about AWD or FWD. Heh, saw that sweet GT-4 down in New Zealand with the Lexus 4.0 and RWD. Talk about bad "arse"....
