RE: Doubts about specific AE86 parts
It's probably been said before but I'll say it again:
It is better to spend a bit more and buy the cleanest example you can get your hands on than to take a on
something that will become a big project.
This car leans more to the project side of things.. but it looks like it is hiding it well. The cracks in the paint
tell me there is filler with rust underneath.. But wings and hatches can be replaced easily so dont let
that put you off. Focus on the chassis.. that is where you dont want to find hidden surprises.

Places you MUST check for rust:
-Front floor corners
-rear floor corners (underneath the rear seat along the wheel wells)
-rear trunk pockets
-chassis rails around the fuel tank
-wheel arches

If your okay with a bit of a project then that's up to you, just make sure you pay a project price for the car.

FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC!
