Introducing alimonos

GREETINGS TO EVERYBODY FROM GREECE!
I OWN A RED 1984 AE86 COUPE SINCE SUMMER 2003.
AFTER CRASHING THE FRONT PART ONTO A BIG ROCK( 15 DAYS AGO), NOW I AM LOOKING FOR PARTS TO FIX IT.(A LITTLE BIT RARE IN GREECE, BELIEVE ME...)

First of all what about making your own thread? and hit that capslock will you?

Besides that I think the people here can help you if you tell us what parts are broken on your AE86. :wink:

Welcome Alimonos...It's always best to introduce yourself in the new member area so everyone will notice your arrival, just post up what you need or maybe pics of the damage and we'll see what needs to be done.

[alimonos]

first of all sory for the caps... but i'm new in here ok!
look at the fotos below to understand about the things i need for the car. (i dont know the exact technical names of the parts) plus headlamps and center grill
thank you guys!!!

Auch that looks painfull..The damage to the front frame is your biggest problem I guess, you'll need to bend it back in shape somehow, if that is still possible.
The bumper and grille can be found easily.

I dont know if the frame can be saved in front, but try to get someone in damage repair to see if the frame can be pulled back into shape.
Maybe take some pics with the bumper out of the way. If the brackets are stuck just undo the bolts holding the bracket to the bumper...it looks not worth repairing anyway so you neednt worry about damaging it anymore.

the mechanic said that the front frame must be replaced because the damage is big and cannot be pulled out in its previous shape.
i will let u know when he 'll take the bumper out.
prices for bumper (full with turn lights and the small spoiler down) headlamps and front grille? (better from the liftback kouki)
thanks anyway ivan!

2 Alimonos: the mechanic is wrong! My AE86 was in much worse shape after collision and now is repaired - the same parts as yours - was pulled back into previous shape and position. However if you insyst - I have an AE86 donor-car with perfect front section - I can cut these to sell them to you and ship them to Greece (but again - this is NOT nesseccary and welding will be worse than pulling back parts into right shape and position).
About headlamps and turn signals (maybe front grille too) - search for EE80 ones - they fit and are cheap ! The EE80 is Corolla '83-'87 FWD, 5-door liftback (similar to AE86 liftback but with 2 more doors and FWD). Estimated price for pair of headlamps - ~80 EU, for front turn signals (integrated into bumper) - ~15EU both.

Auch! That looks quite a big hit. Did a rock fell on the road or something?

Welcome btw.

Welcome mate. Post some clearer pictures of the front, like said, without bumper and all those things. Buddy of mine is an accident repair guy and he's straitened out cars in worse condition that this. Heck his own Golf he bought with the front completely bent and he got that back into to shape perfectly, car looks like new now.

You can find fibreglass and kevlar bumpers in the sell section off the site, complete with lip if you like. Also Jamiemirror who is closer to you (bulgaria) might be able to arrange fibreglass bumper with lip for a good price. I know where you can possibly find new kouki grilles, or the zenki apex grille that opens when temperature rises (from japan). Are your headlights completely wrecked or just the mounts/plastic? Plastic can be fixed, mounts too...broken glass however is a bigger problem. Dont know about the ee80 headlights though, have never heard of people using those.
