Moving from U.S. to Austria - is it worth shipping AE86 GTS?

Drothe,

Not 100% sure but seeing European laws you should be able to import a Hachi based on standards applied at the year it was build so I doubt emissions will be an issue. Whether Austria has additional demands and how the rules are regarding modified cars I'm not sure but as Robokill mentioned, there are several members here that live there and can probably tell you. It doesn't sound like yours has any serious enough changes.

Whether the whole exercise makes financial sense is another thing all together.

This really depends on import taxes in Austria, shipping is a lot but unless you sell your car for good money, buying one in Europa may turn out to be the more expensive option. Make sure you sort out any rules related to you moving into Austria and taking your car with you as part of your household, again I don't know the rules in Austria but many countries have lower tax rates when importing goods as part of migrating.
