if your dads a mechanic then get an alltrac with a good body, the engine can be fixed,there are plenty of aftermarket parts but a rusty body can be a nightmare to restore! getting a JDM engine with 100K doesn't mean its in good condition, its a 20 year old engine thats been sitting on some rack in a warehouse somewhere in Asia for at least 10 years so chances are seals and gaskets need to be replaced anyway. In my opinion the alltrac is more of a race car with a race car solid frame, its built to take a beating thus the 3 X WRC wins. You also have an automatic so you'll have to get an automatic camry tranny or something to mate up with the 3sgte.. im not sure if the auto tranny of the 5sfe and handle the 3s power..

I was in your shoes last August....... guess what i'm driving now?
