Ok, so I found a Celica SS-III here in Japan, where I’m stationed right now... i can pick it up for a grand. What parts off of it can be put on my 94GT when I get home? I know the wheels can be swapped, and the engine as well (though I’m putting a 3S-GTE engine in my GT back home), I’m not too sure about the breaks, hood will fit (my GT has a dent - BUT, I’m wanting the WRC hood eventually)..

ALSO: would ANY bolt ons I get for a 3rd revision 3S-GE fit on a 3rd revision 3S-GTE? because if so... I might get some of the "cheaper" of the bolt ons I have picked out for the GT and put them on the SS-III while I’m here (just a thought)...

Also needing a price list of what I would expect to make from selling any (and I mean ANY) parts off the SS-III stateside (or online)....

Any and all help much appreciated.

The reason I ask, is because I'm getting an SS-III in December or January, and I'm hoping I can turbo the engine after changing the compression ratio with custom (forged) pistons and playing with the displacement... ESPECIALLY if it's BEAMS. My other thing was if I can use this engine out of the SS-III rather than the 3S-GTE, I wouldn't have to get an st205 front clip (though I would need to buy an intercooler separately). Either way, my main things are:

1) What parts can I use from the SS-III on my GT that I would otherwise have to buy later?
2) What bolt-ons can I put on the SS-III that I can later take off and put on the GT (with either a modified 3S-GE w/turbo or a 3rd revision 3S-GTE engine)?

Because IF I do that, I MIGHT have the engine portion and (or at LEAST) bolt-ons portion done on the GT and just need to simply put them in by the time I leave Japan and go home to the GT... Then all I'd have left is suspension and wheels, body work, and interior.
