thanks,
yes the car is going to be black and the graphics are going to be vinil stickers, i get this car from a friend who buy it for just the wheels that came in it from factory and he give the car to me, the starlet? that one is for sale cuz i was going to build it but as soon as i found it wasnt going to be a stock chassis anymore i change my mind and went to build the celica the starlet got a narrowed mopar 8 3/4 rear end with a 4-link suspension and weld 15x10 wheels ready to go in but not finished i am seling that check it on ebay under "starlet" or mopar "8 3/4"
the swap begins
i took the 22r away and send it to a new owner (and a super bad experience with the shipping company) never going to use again RoadWay express super bad customer service and untrained empolyees and a very bad communication! ever use' em again! thanks God everything is solved and my customer is happy.
Now back to my celica,
got the oil pan of the 2jzgte in the engine bay so you guys can see how much room i got in this chassis! it is sweet! i will take the engine as back as i can without cutting the fire wall i may need to modified the trany tunnel but nothing serious!
got to take the a/c + heating unit away (no need for that anymore) as well as the brake booster to start the swap this weekend! here some pictures of how it looks right now!

ok so far this is what i did today i prep the mock up engine+trany (in a note this is the w58 i got for now cuz i got all the components for it but the r154 is on the basement waiting for the 1jz bellhousing,
and you guys wont going to belive it but it went so clean inside the bay that i was like... :shock: something is going to happen!!!! 8)
and to surprise me more look the trany shifter position, now i really start to worry and i was really like,,, :shock: damn something is really to be real f..ked up later i know :roll:
then i realize today is my f..king day cuz it was almost unbelivable when i went down underneath the car and the transmission x-member and mount just bolt together and the driveshaft went in like it was made for it! CAN YOU BELIVE THAT :shock: :lol:
now is a really small interference with the turbo and hood, but nothing serious cuz i was going to cut most of the reinforcement out so no problem at all!
and here is were i got to do my magic, i got to cut the factory x-member brackets to weld new ones nothing serious it is going to be super easy thats on the next update.
look the front of the engine oil pan line in comparassion with the front radiator suport almost scuared ahhh?
i lower the car to the floor and the ride height is almost the same as if the 22r engine still there.
and here is how it looks !
more updates comming sooner than you think :wink:

that rules. Glad to see it fits so easy. Did you try some different motor mounts like the becauseIcan with the 7m hard mounts from an 88 or 87? That looks real similar to mine and if everything else lines up it might just fit.

and for those who ask what was my injury here it is i was cooking and my hand slips from the knife and slide tru all the supershap edge of my cooking knife and this is what happened!

i got out today and do something in my celica with one hand and two fingers from the other hand, check it out,
i did the motor mount crossmember brackets they look ok to me but i run out of welding wire (spool empty) so i got to stop when i almost finish it, what you think!
these are the old brakets for the 20r;
this is how it looks now with the new brackets;
this is a close up of the bracket-solid mount without the top gussets cuz running out of welding wire :x ;

i will need a 8 inch wheel for the back these are 10 inches so are the tires, thats why they look too wide for the rears "also need to take in consideration i didnt rolled the rear 1/4 lips yet and didnt hammer the iner tubb yet" in order to have more space but i am prety sure they fit!
by the way all this is just moked up i will take it appart again to clean and paint it real good!
and here the front brake system done :wink:
