well i finally was able to get a digital camera and post up some pics of my project. im converting my celica st to a gt4. all wheel drive and all. the motor is put in and runs great, purrs like a kitten...... im in the process of doing my rear end now. its gettin there. well here are some pics of my masterpiece in progress.



-gt4 front end conversion


-front end w/ hood open


-the rear end is in place, almost ready to bolt up.


-side view of the celi


-interior....what a mess. never thought it would look like that!


-engine....ahh pretty. at least i think so!


well tell me what you think and if you have any suggestions.... feel free to let me know.


I fixed your links so they would work here.
Nice swap.

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.

looks like it is comming along guy. I'm sure you and your Dad can get this thing rolling. I have some pics of the underside of GT-fours if you need them for reference.

I'm glad to have seen it in person. Good luck >>

I need to know how your doing your rear end for the conversion. I might just go this route someday when I want an AWD.
So how does the AWD tranny work? Did you have to cut anything and wield stuff on? We need lots of pics!
