Hi,
I am currently in the middle of doing a 1UZ swap into my 85 Celica GT "Mandalorian"
few pics of where I'm at.

How did the swapping go? Is it successful?

In work still, it will be a long swap. id say a year from now I will be done. that's being optimistic. bright side at 252,000 miles the crosshatching is still showing.
