I’ve been looking to get into JDM cars, really love Celicas, was wondering if you guys think it would be worth it to buy this Celica and swap it to manual transmission? It needs the engine swapped, the 3mz v6 he has would be a good swap I think, but I believe I would have to swap it to a manual trans, which I wanted to do anyways. Seem like a good deal? I am new to cars in general so I don’t know a lot haha.
