Disjaukifa's AE86 Hatchback Project

[disjaukifa]

Hey Guys,

I picked up my 1985 Corolla Hatchback on July 2, 2015 this year and I've been working on it pretty much whenever I have spare time. First here is a picture of the car when I got it:



Some interesting things to note. This car is actually an SR5 that had been converted to a GTS, but it was done so well when I bought the car I hadn't realized it had been done. I've been a fan of the AE86 for well over a decade, and I've been waiting for the right one to show up that I wanted.

The price was perfect, and more importantly, this car is all original, well except for the fact that it was converted to a GTS. Its the hatchback which I like better, and it was within a responsible driving distance for me to go pick-up!

Here are some more pictures of what I have doing to the AE86 since I have gotten it:

Stripped out the seats to get them recovered:









I've got more pictures to posts, actually I have two months of work I've done on the car to post, so it will take a while.

Current the engine is out, disassembled and at the machine shop for cleaning, the transmission is out, the fenders are off, and I'm working on stripping the engine bay apart to clean and paint the entire car. Here's a picture of the AE86 in its most recent state:



Let me know what you think!

Thanks
