its a 1984 AE86 corolla SR5 automatic. it has just 146k miles on the clock, making it quite the youngin'.

only one small dent, otherwise the body is flawless as far as we can tell:

it needs alot of TLC. door handles work, but require alot of force at the end of their travel. the driver's mirror is not power, like it should be.

we will be spending a long time getting it back up to spec, not anything fancy with it. its RWD, not AWD, but its very fun!

any tips, tricks, directions you think we should go, etc? he just wants a cheap daily driver, but something thats decently fun. not alot of money to pour into this thing, so it will be a super budget build. stay tuned!

Sweet! Fun cars. One of the guys that used to work at the local Toyota dealership had one. It was fixed up really nice! There are a few 1uz AE86s around too. :thumbup:

I just changed a head gasket on one of those yesterday! If it were me, I'd convert it to 5-speed, then swap in another 4 cylinder engine and probably turbo charge it. The weight of a V8 will throw off their weight distribution.

That's a very nice candidate for a 7MGTE or a 2JZGTE swap :D

Is that a FX16?

no not a fx16. IIRC those are awd.

so far the only really concerning thing with this car is the lack of OD until about 30 minutes into a journey.
