dan just left a little while ago, we got the interior completely disassembled
everyones trying to get me to use marks doors instead of transplanting the power window motor into my red doors to save time, but i just CANT do it haha.
were supposed to get snow tonight (can you believe that) so i had to tarp everything up untill the morning.
but tomorrow im gonna work on the windows some more, if anyone has some tips let me know.
also i need to buy a new ac condensor, but a junk yard gave me a quote for 75$ which seems pretty good considering they are 158$ from parts america (advance auto parts)
i think dan is doing a how to on removing the dash, he took a bunch of pics too, he should have them ready for you when he gets home

weather was poopy today, affecting my optimism of this car ever being everything i dreamed of.
hopefully motor will go in tomorrow, ill keep everyone updated as usual
boost gauge came in the mail today, funny how a toy can lift your spirits

update for today: got marks black doors on, dash back on, airbags installed, interior is almost finished except for a pesky wiring issue.
as far as the swap goes, unfortunately i need a new motor moutn that im going to try and pull from a celica at a junk yard tomorrow provided it is in good condition.
marks passenger motor mount (coincidentally is the only one thats different for the 3sgte into a ST swap) is bent ever so slightly and dan suggests i get a ew one.
after talking it out with some friends though, i have decided to heat it and bend it back (its less than an inch of travel) so that i may get the engine in and the chassis rolling into my driveway (my mom said that it has to be ni the driveway and out of the backyard by the time i leave for school sunday)
i know you are all going to post your opinions on this , and i wanna hear them, just try and be nice about it. i know forums arent the best place to tell your stories of rigging somethign up, but this is pretty necessary for me to do, otherwise i haev to shell out like 100 bucks for another moutn and wait on it to get here.

what do you mean that the st and gt mounts are the same except for the passenger side, or that the only one you cant custom make is the passenger one, because i have both gt and st mounts and all might seem to be similar but arent.
the only mount that needs to be changed for the swap is the passenger side though, atleast thats what dan has said forever, if they are different, then hes got some splainin to do, heh.
yeah man but hey i got all the gt mounts and i compared em and they all are dirreferent with minor differences but the passenger is completely different. i can bring the gt mounts over one of these days and show you the the bolts and holes are in different locations and the tranny breackets are completely different
how much did you pay for all 4 mounts, just curious
