Car Progress Thread v2.0, Replacing rusted out quarter panel... yay body work. Options

[jcbass7]

Well you've got to start somewhere and this is my second time starting. Nonetheless, the celica's from my past are all part of the story that has led me to this one and finally being able to complete the project I have been dreaming of. They are also contributing a lot of parts and lessons learned to get this car how I want it. I bought this car in September 2010 and will be marking my progress routinely with many pictures.

Here is the baseline. The starting point. The blank Canvas. I'm giving you a full snapshot into its original condition from when I bought it. Flaws and all. This way the you can see the progress it makes as I fix the little details and add the JDM/TRD goodies.

Here is the progress thread for my first build a few years back.. Learned a lot on that project:

(A good read if you are bored at work, lots of parts, pics, problems and even a fire)

I would only go with 94 or 95's for that same reasonn.
I'm not sure if you would know, but if I took the engine from my 97 parts car and put it in my 95, would I have to convert my 95 to ODB2?
Reason I want to do it is that I'm doing an a2m swap and that engine has about 100k less than the one in my car right now

I'm not totally sure, but the wiring harness might be different? Someone on here will definitely know that answer, but I'm unfamiliar with anything but the 94's
