Rota Wheels AE86 rebuild in Manila

We originally got the gar to compete in the amateur drift series. My younger brother wanted to try out drifting and my plan was to rebuild the car after a year of drifting.

Well, it turns out that drifting was very hard on the old Corolla and a season of it would surely "kill" the car. I decided to give it a reprieve and spare it from drift duty and rebuild it to cherish as well as enjoy!.

This is how we got the car. From pictures, it looks decent but at closer inspection, you know there is something wrong. The body looks swollen with all the body filler the former restorer put on the car

Since the car already came with a GZE and the original engine long gone. I decided that it was never going to be a concours car so a "resto-mod" was in order. Plan was to make a GT-V Trueno clone with a 20V black top

Let the madness begin
