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

I think you will have no problems with emissions in the end. Cali is very strict and if you pass there in a legal way then you should pass 99% of all other countries.

I am not sure but I thought there is some kind of law prohibiting importing old cars into Austria. Not sure. And even if there might be differences if you move there and take it with you (that is the case here in Switzerland).

Best is talk to the MOT in Austria, they should know about this.
Call one of the main offices up and talk to the boss there. I am sure he knows.

About your question in general. Yes it will be worth it. Prices are exploding over here just as they do in the US. If you do have a nice one which you probably love, then take it with you. I guess you will have a container anyway for all your belongings, so just put it in there too.

Make sure to do some good underfloor coating tough. winters are really different over here. Lots of salt which is not really good when it comes to rust prevention.
