Ive Been on This Forum for a While and I've Decided to Post a Few Photos I've Taken of my AE86 and Her Progress So Far. THANKS FOR VIEWING

Day 1, Just Purchased and Fueling Up For Drive Home
Image

Day 1 Pressure wash to Take Off 7 Years of Dust, Debris, and Cob webs
Image

Installed Fresh Mishimoto Radiator and Simple Green'd , Scrubbed, and Pressured washed 4AC Engine Bay
Image

Nice And Clean (: (Notice The White Paint Scale)
Image

Picked Up Some Megan Racing Coilovers springs and Lowering Struts
Image

Springs and Lowering Struts Installed in Rear
Image

Suspension Installed But Not Adjusted, Painted Tire Lettering Out of Boredom
Image

Picked Up Rims and Tires, now time to test fit them
Image

Test Fitting Fronts, Again, Notice White Paint Scale
Image

Took A Test Drive, Fenders Needed Rolling AKA Hammering
Image

Sitting Pretty (;
Image

Hit 300k on the way to the Gas Station

Orange Goo Off Spray Worked wonders On My Paint Scale, Paint Has Some Shine to it Now
Image

Nothing Wrong With A Night Time Booty Pic
Image

I Was Dipping On the Freeway and Hit A Dip. i Heard a loud Rub Noise and Smelt Burnt Rubber Immediately After, Pulled Off the Next Exit and Seen this

Ordered Up a Techno Toy Tuning Rear Panhard Bar and Traction Brackets to adjust diff. Hopefully It'll stop Severe Rubbing On Right Fender/Tire

Thanks Jeonsah! Can argue with Toyota and their OEM paint choice. Luckily she was garaged most of her life!

Thanks glock30! heard a lot about you and the 4AC. I feel honored that you like my car :D ... With 300k on the motor it's probably time for a rebuild or an entirely new power plant

HAHA... well... I just read too much and have been through my fair share of 4ACs. I'm kinda envious that you have the OG plates. What part of Cali you from?

Yes i bought it off craigslist but he didnt have any rims on it when i bought it out of the LA Area. It was probably me who beat you to it tho since i dont see too many Yellow Corollas around!

Thanks for posting pictures. That is my old sR 5.
Original owner gave it to me at 200k. Daily driver.
Glad to see it again. I sold it at 283k I think to a Toyota mechanic from LA. Loumedla
