so i have the major parts for the auto to manual swap but now i need help
i would love to do it myself and everything...i just dont have the experience, or man power for that matter

ive gotten the ever popular "its not worth it, just buy a new car" which i choose to ignore, the "well i could do it for $2,000" which is way over my budget, and the wannabe mechanic doing work out of his garage who says "id love to try, can i give you an estimate" then never answers the phone again

id trust a 6gc-er over anyone else anyway so i figured id at least ask before looking elsewhere any more
i will pay, just let me know what you think is fair and i'll tell you if i can pay it

please help
thanks

this might be a hike for ya, but DG PERFORMANCE opened his own shop in PITT PA, he seriously knows the celica better then the back of his hand. I dont think he would charge to much, and i know he would have it done in no time, Him and his buddy just did a auto to standard in an s14 so he knows what he is doing, if you would like to contact him u can reach him, pm me and i'll send you his phone number.

I think it would be great if we could find access to a lift. In that case we could get a few of us guys on this thing, and get it done a little easier....i know I'd be down.

The more research prior to the operation, the smoother it'll go though.

dan can probably do it himself, just dont let him touch any hoses going to a turbo and he knows what hes doing

i still have to find a garage to use...

i have a 2 car garage but it only fits one car and you have to park all slanted otherwise you cant open the car door...and i dont even know what any of it is, if it was up to me id just push it all down the driveway and leave it for the garbage people
my dad parks in there, i park in the yard b/c im too lazy to clean it...

i actually wasnt even going to tell the family...i figured my dad would just realize it when he went to move my car for some reason and sees a 5spd lol my family asks too many questions so i like to just avoid them whenever possible haha

but i guess, if it must come to that, i'll tell them and clean it out...boo

how about in your driveway? interesting concept eh? its out of the road, and a large area so theres space to work.

well smartass [miguel] ...my driveway is just long and narrow, i dont even think its allowed to be used as a driveway by code...my dads mirror is held on by duct tape b/c he keeps hitting **** on the way up lol

and theres about six kids who love to touch my car [those bastards] that use my backyard to play in (2 from my house and the neighbor has 4 grandkids)
but if it wont take that long then im sure it'll be fine
