Swap wouldn't cost much if you could find a mechanically sound donor car, and did it all yourself. What Smaay offered to do it for is very reasonable, shame so far away from each other. The other option is pick up another car. Not sure how things are where you are, but $2,500 buys a lot of car where I live. With $5,000 getting something actually very nice. Just something to consider. Could get another car, then fix the Celica how you want at a later date. Lots of options.

your right !
looks like gettin a new car might jus be my best option.,, thanks

yup! that's true. best thing it to get another car to use.

can't really do a swap on a daily driver. that's why mine is still a slow 7AFE. hahahaha.

If you collected all the parts in advance, and saved what you could along the way, it would be easy to find a local shop that will do the labour. If not, craigslist someone that will do it in their garage. Then you might even be able to observe, help, and learn. Better return on investment.
