i was lookin at a gt4 front clip but i was told the conversion would cost me more than wat it is actually worth . so i was still plannin on swap motors to the 3sgte but was wondering about the transmission is all . the gt4 front clip is 4000 but the mr2 full swap is 1700 so i was just wondering is all still a lil ways away from making my decision

mr2 swap is going to be a pain in multiple ways

Go with the st205 front clip, get everything you need, including all the other tidbits that are often ignored when looking at the prices.

Mr2 is going to have a few things you need, not all, so expect to spend atleast another 2 grand in those parts equaling out to the 4k you could have spent with the st205 clip, and sold off the extra parts for money.

Thats the short story...
