Antenna Options? Options

[hx214]

Hey guys, kinda new around here. Have a 94 celica gt that I just picked up for a work car. It's in pretty good shape, but the motorized antenna looks to be snapped off inside. I can hear the little motor running when I turn the radio on and off, but when you look down in the opening you can only see the base of it and it looks to be sheard off.

Even though its just a work car, it kinda stinks not having any reception to listen to the radio. Was going to replace it with the orginal parts, but not having much luck finding one. (saw one on ebay that I think would fit, but it was specific)

Anyway, if I just pick up a cheap one, is there much to changing it out? Seems like it could be one of those PITA things to get to. I'm going to be changing the rear struts out this week, if I take the rear drivers side panel off in the trunk can I get to the antenna from there?

Any specific type of antenna I need to look for? Anybody know a good place to pick the orginal motorized one up? Do the ones from the Gen 5 celicas work also?

Thanks for any info.

The sticky is great, but I did it very welll where you dont have to worry about to much sloppy custom work. I went to a junkyard, took the whole antenna assembly from a 7 gen celica and I took out the whole silly mast and relay attached to the trunk on my 6gen. I used the original rubber parts from the 6gen celica antenna to fit it in the hole and had to bend the bracket from the 7gen celica to mount it to the chasis. The 7gen already has that screw-on antenna, so then I just bought an oem s2000 antenna. It's been great ever since and I think that's the way to go to make it most proffesional.
