celica heart transplant, 7afe froma 1997 corolla to 1994 celica st Options

[nik]

well got the celica for 400 bucks had a rod knock
paint was 7 outta 10
interior was 9 outta 10
wheels 9 outta 10
had new bearings front and back done 20 k ago plus new steering rack and tie rods
i bought a new battery for it



found a 1997 corola with 101,000 miles plus new timing belt water and oil pump and good compression for only $200 bucks
once i pull the motor ill pack out most of it and send it to the junk yard im sure i can get atleast my money back on parts



both are in the driveway now just waiting for a clear day to pull the motors out and swap them

so in the end ill have a running DD and winter car for $600+ my labor

Those rims seem familiar..

i like yours better these Falkens are chrome 18 by 7 or 7.5 with bold tires but i think i can sell the rims for 300 or so

i bet you could sell that heinous body kit for a stock one and end up with a $100 car

Hell of a deal man, if you want more cash back sell that bugly body kit, and throw on a stock kit on there.


But either way I wouldn't complain with a $600 DD.

btw, you'll need to swap the intake manifold and front covers from your 94 to run the 97 in there without any bizzaro problems.
