awesome man. you got a couple months give or take to finish it up
I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

Nice man. When I get a better job and more money im just gonna buy a front and rear clip off of ebay. Gt4 is soo sexy. Plus gotta give the wrx's some competition right? Hopefully I can find some time this weekend to install my speakers and amp. Also celicaST where did you get ur jdm tail lights and how much?
1999 Celica GT Hatchback
JDM tails are easily bought off ebay. They are much cheaper than they used to be, some already in the 100's range. They used to be in the 200-300 range.

Yeah i've already looked at ebay. Sellers on there want $160 + $75 for shipping. I'm just trying to find a better deal.
1999 Celica GT Hatchback
15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
I saw a 139.99. Best keywords to use are st202 and st205 when searching.

EDIT: Are you doing the full Superstrut front end suspension swap too??

Thank You, They don't call me a Mad Scientist for nothing. I wish it came with the engine, I have the Superstrut but its missing both knuckles and calipers.
So if I can get ahold of those parts yes I will do the Superstrut.
Next is painting the engine bay World Rally Blue Pearl with tons of clear

if you havent already you need to swap over the top bumper mount from rad support of st205 .. it is raised
in the middle for 205 bumper and hood .. this might be dumb question but why didn't you just use st205
rad support ..?
i needed a rad support for my st205 and ended up finding a st205 empty clip and drove across country to
pick up just to have correct bumper mounting and i wanted orginal part to fix st205

Because I bought the st204 rad support and fixed the car before I ever thought of doing the st205 swap.
No big deal I can change just the top brace

So you are actually doing the awd conversion too? Btw nice project going on. I'd love to do a right hand drive conversion. but it seems pricey.

If i had $5,000 right now, It would be done in about 2 months . But since I just got laid off who knows when
It will be done. I have lots of time no money.

See Nial, you just don't understand! My LHD is fine over here, and it's the whole "exotic" aspect! Don't tell me with your GT-4 you wouldn't want to tear up the States!?

Of course..I`d love to take my four around the states. I was just curious as to why somebody would want a RHD car in a country that uses LHD...It just seems to be making life hard for yourself for no apparent reason...but if its just to be different then fare enough....was just asking.

glad to see #2 in the states of RHD conversions, I find it ironic that they are both on teal ST hatchbacks (or in my case what once was teal)
