they are very reasonable, I can get the halfcut(st185) shipped to me(residential) with a liftgate for around $1800, I think that is pretty reasonable

Man if I was you I would swap the 3sgte in the GT.
For the ST I would keep it and when you've enough money use it
as a daily driver.
Then you can go down as one of the few people on this site with 2

iam probaly getting the GT tomoroow for $1,000.00 w/ a blown motor. iam still waiting for my front clip tho!!!!! they said 7-10 business days and it has been some were around their allready. so iam goin to have 2 1/2 celicas sitting in my drive way by the end of this week lol, ill have to take a pic of that. ill have my red St a black GT and the black front clip st185. ill take some pix as soon as i get them all. other then ECU and engine what else has to be done to the GT to swap in a 3sgte. i have done tons of research for the St and now i have to do it all to the GT. iam using the 5sfe tranny because i read that a few people have done it and have had no problems, ill just buy an upgraded clutch and fly wheel and hopefully that will hold the power.

JFrost - rent a trailer and drive it home - if you have an engine hoist take it down - rent a pallet jack for mobility - that's the cheapest way i could think of --

[JFrost9]

yea i was thinking something along those lines...my biggest problems would be the down time, finding a garage/engine hoist(think a friend has one) and just getting everything organized. back to the actual thread though, Street its even easier to do the GT...its practically the same as the ST, only you can take out a few earlier steps like switchin motor mounts, and then the axles and cables. If you were able to do the ST, then you shouldnt have a problem with the GT.
