I bought our tenth AE86 tonight.
I’ve been shopping for a car for a couple months now. My plan all along has been to buy a car that I could drive early this season if for whatever reason our turbo project ran late. This new car doesn’t fit with that plan, as it’s a big project. That said, I’m very happy to give that up. This is the nicest AE86 body I’ve every seen. Furthermore, it is IMO, the ideal body type. It’s a zenkei coupe with a hard top… just like our turbo project. While the current car still has a great chassis, this new one has original paint, only 126k km on it, four spot free shock towers and spot free rear pockets. The only notable rust is a patch a small patch on the drivers side fender, and a few rock chips on the roof and passenger door.
I don’t know what my plans for this car are. They will come as the season progresses. For the time being the car will sit. The Panda coupe continues on… slowly. Hopefully I’ll be able to give a good update on that car by this weeks end.
I want it back.
