Hell no, ship that bad boy to me.

Good luck with your project guy.

sooo i think im misunderstanding... you baught the motor and transmission from this lady and not the whole car?

EXACTLY. I agreed to buy the engine and tranny, paid her, and took the car on a flatbed to my house. I got done on Tuesday with it, and I sent it on the flatbed back to her house. That car is toasted, man. The driver side floodboard is warped. It has ridges like a Ruffles chip. It is unrepairable. I told her to just part it. My mechanic, who's her cousin, bought the roof mounted intake and other parts for his MR2. I wouldn't take that car for free even if she gives me $1,000.

A little update. The block is done. Today we're going to work on the head.

nice man! cant wait to see it all buttoned up.

Guess it'll be an Out Of Body Experience going from an auto 7A-FTE setup to a manual 3S-GTE.

I DEMAND AN UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!

I have no Interwebz, guys! I'm at my buddy's speed shop. Here are the updates in pictures.

I found a good paint shop so I changed plans. We were going to paint the engine bay ourselves, install the swap and then have the rest of the car painted, but I'm saving $500 by painting the entire car first. I'm getting the car painted this week and then we'll finish swapping in the good stuff. We'll have to be extra-careful.
