Well , all went well and i got the 97 st yesterday! I was determined to get it, and i went through alot...
I got up at 7 am to leave to get it.... But my parents didn't show up until 8 45 when we had to be there at 9, but i convinced the guy to call off work so we could get it yesterday.. haha... after that we were finally on the road, but 30 minutes into the trip a Tire blew out on the tow dolly!!! i think god seriously wanted me to get this celica because it blew out right in front of a salvage yard and after spending ten dollars and 20 minutes finding the right tire, i was able to get it switched onto the rim! they even gave me the tools to take it off and put it back on thankfully!! After that i finally made it to the garage where it was at and was checking it out and the guy showed up... i was wondering how i was going to get the car onto the dolley since it needed a new engine... but oh my did i luck out!! Soooo.. all thats wrong is it has the slightest tick i've ever heard in my life... my dad (30 year mechanic At prat and whitney for the military) said its just a bearing i think if i remember correctly! So anyways i was able to start it up and drive it right up onto the dolley! And if thats the case, if all goes well i should have this baby back up and running on the road within a couple weeks check her out!!

if you have both years mounts, then compare.
its easy to star with the sides so that engine lines up. if you tighten the front and side, then you dont have wiggle room. The rear motor mount is a beyotch, and you need a lot of wiggle, thats why the front is the last one to put. to put the rear mount youneed to push the engine slighty up to the rear to be able to even put it in.... its a pain.. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...
