Toyota Curren Conversion? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #36362 18 posts Started by jcbass7
Firts off, id like to say hello, i just joined and am extatic to have found a 6th gen specific forum for my celica. I own a 94 GT with a slushbox tranny.

I was browsing the site and read about the Toyota Curren that was not sold in the US, and it got me thinking.... Is it possible if i bought the fenders, bumper hood and headlights could i swap them out and make it work on my sixth gen? Personally i like the look of the curren headlights better, but im just pondering here.. im guessing this idea is somewhat rediculous and way to expensive.
Yes, but you have to weld in a curren core support.

Its definitley possible, I actually think one is in the works with one of the members of this site smile.gif I think the hardest part would be the frame on the front where the headlights are. That would need to be replaced
I think Consynx was considering doing this.
He has all the panels for the conversion.
But then sold it.

Hmmm wonder who it is? biggrin.gif
someone finally bought it? that was up for sale forever!

I also plan on doing the same conversion when I get my front clip (early fall)
do you need the core support if you try the conversion on the coupe model celica........i mean, ive looked at the st202 front end, btwn that and the st206, they both look about the same

I think it would be pretty cool on a coupe, because no one in there right mind would have a clue what it is... On the other hand spending the 2k+ todo the conversion is ouch on the pocket, its like the honda boys and there ITR fronts... I still dont get it...

Anyways, Fenders, Hood, Core Support, headlights, bumpers, random grouments.

DTE

I am a thief.do not buy anything from me.
Currens are coupes.

ya you need the core support, so the headlights all bolt in correctly and they sit right...
