yes it has been done before.

you will need the awd tranmission, drive shaft, rear suspension, differential, and fuel tank.

cost is unknow because price of parts vary, and labor price varies also.

there is no walk though, it is not a simple swap. Even though the GT4 and the american celica share the same body design. The back structure of the celica is way different compared to the GT4. Therefore it will not have a simple bolt on conversion.

Bump it up to about 10k and your right on target.

You gotta understand your basically buying a complete car in 2 pieces. So 6k is gonna cover parts, then you gotta fabricate alot and if your doing this completely on your own maybe you can squeak by on that budget but if your having someone do this your def. looking at more.

Welcome to the world of AWD swaps. Sounds easy on paper.
We keep having this conversation. Most don't get finished, most get sold if they are ever finished, most never get started at all.


I will return one day.
