hey, not sure if this is the right place to post this and sorry if its not, but here goes.

I live in RI and am trying to do an engine swap and cant decide between the Beams, GT4 or a 4age silver or black top.
i know theres a couple of people in this forum that live in RI and have awesome cars but i havent been able to get their attention or help so lets see if you guys can.
i have a 97 ST limited and so far ive gather that i need new mounts, tranny, possibly exhaust, trans axles, and complete engine for a beams or GT4 swap
and ill need an engine if i plan to go with the 4age or am i missing something else also.

as far as the wiring goes for the beams engine is it a plug n play if i get a celica st202 front clip? or am i better off getting parts seperately

as my project progresses i will continue to post updates, hopefully batman and hurley will help me out.

ill also post pics later

thanks for help in advance

something i did to my lights

sorry mike had to do it they look amazing man hope urs come out the same

so i asked mike, Mike how did you open your headlights? and he said boilem so i did

Did you hold them in there the whole time or just dunk them? I've been planning on painting the bezels for a while now and just haven't gotten around to doing it. I've heard of the baking method, but I'm scared the rubber may melt. Please advise.

How do they look on your car?
