I just bought a 1994 Celica GT (Black) at a junkyard here in tennessee...
The guy told me that some kid left it here after wrecking it, because he wanted to get a new celica anyways... apparently the kid or his father was rich ... I picked up this Celica for 500 dollars... Repairs : - New Front Bumper - New Front Windshield - Radiator - Distributor That is ALL that was required to make this car run PERFECTLY (mechanically sound). My father and i can find nothing else wrong with this car. Next thing that was wrong, and i just found out about 3 days ago was that the frame was bent a little... I got this fixed, all the dents taken out, and a full new paint job. My question is... Should i spend a lot of money and get a 3rd gen 3sgte swap (the labor is free considering my father and i will do it) , or should i just use this car as an everyday driving car, and spend my money on something else. I just dont want to spend all that money on a car, and then realize that it wasnt worth it , or that i could have spent my money on something much nicer. Any suggestions? -------------------- 1994 Celica GT , Black Hatchback

i got my car from tennessee, and my 2nd gen 3s as well. Ive spent way too much just to get the car to run and return the actual car itself to stock. (the car was missing a lot of things that had been parted off of it)
driving it for the first time last weekend, only being able to go into second gear with no power steering; it was worth every penny  so my advice would be why not go with a 2nd gen instead? its not that far off performance wise, and its a lot cheaper.
