project "twin cam 16" another AE86...
My latest addition to the Toyota collection, that I got a few weeks back from Switzerland, genuine AE86 3dr from 1985, for the price of 100CHF (around 85€). I agreed immediatelly, no questions asked, but also no idea how arrange transport.
I bought it as an abdoned restoration project from a kind guy who just hasn´t got the time/ abilities to finish it properly. Since the last buyer never showed up (price was 300CHF back than) he decided to sell it with an even lower price for a quick sell. He knew what kind of car he got, but he much rather sold it complete, to good hands that hopefully appreciate it, obviously he wasn´t to crazy about the money... Even if it doesn´t look to complete in the pictures, all exterieur parts and 95% of the interieur is there and in good nick! (so speaker holes, rips etc). I haven´t seen much brown red interieurs in Europe either. It´s like a giant puzzle with all the boxed parts, but previous owner labeled most of the parts and all the plugs from the interieur loom. It also has a genuine Haslbeck spoiler kit. Engine is a Swiss spec bluetop with EGR non kat, 214200km and the engine started first pop with a battery. Also got a quiet a few mostly black interieur spares, a 2nd bonnet, downpipe and a complete cylinder head with it. It´s pretty solid underneath (sidemember section over muffler already replaced) and I really know how rusty they can be down there. Need new rear wheel arches (got AE82 ones with it to make them suit), sills are a bit rotten at the back, rear pockets gone, the section inside the rear strut tower, and a few minor patches. Doors are surprisingly solid! It´s missing all of the clips to mount the rear left quarter window, if anybody has them and whould like to sell, let me know. Its also missing the rear parcel shelf Since it´s a 3 door, and not a 2 door, the chassis was not really usefull for me, initial idea was to break it for spares and sell the rest to gain some money for my other 86. Buy a 2nd 2dr shell that I can prepare (seam welded, cage, rot free) and swap everything over. By the time I saw the car in daylight, sat in there and drove it on my premises, I just couldn´t... Can´t take the responsebility for wasting a good chassis (no sunroof), with minor rust issues and with nice complete interieur, so yeah going to stay with me as long as I don´t get into serious money trouble. Plans are simple, repair the chassis, give it full paintjob, staying red or cream white, with black bumpers (inside out/ engine bay), put in the interieur get some 2nd hand coilovers and trd blue rears + springs, polybushings, full service for engine/drivetrain/LSD, redline taillights. For rims I´d choose a pair Hoshino mesh, cause they´re freshly painted and polished, 14"x6,5 and 14"x7J. Run it as a daily. Well, main concern, students don´t really earn a lot money, so its going to be really a really slow on progress... Hope you like it! 1979 Toyota Corolla KE35 1983 Toyota Corolla AE86 1985 Toyota Corolla AE86 |

Ok, everybody likes bargain AE86´s.
No worries, it´s not going to be sold for spares, I already made up my mind! Bean Bandit Wrote:WOW 100CHF is a steal man.

I really like people who stick to their principles. 1979 Toyota Corolla KE35 1983 Toyota Corolla AE86 1985 Toyota Corolla AE86 |
