Re: Does anyone have a step by step guide to remove / install dash?

It looks PERFECT to me. Job well done & that is one clean dash you have there. Those of you are planning to get on hands on AE86 dash in a future, just handle it with an EXTRA CARE. Small accidental hit by tool may crack. Also, be careful when you wash / clean them. I once located a perfect cond...

Re: Random Question: How To Clean Rear Side/Arm Panels

If this is your car that is equipped with cloth version, only way I could think is use carpet cleaner that you can purchase at any hardware store. What I did on my old Levin years ago.... (1) Purchase vinyl version (2) Clean -> apply interior paint....DONE. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/510541...

Re: Need a price reference

If I own AE86 today, replacing engine to 13B is definitely NOT an option. I would like to keep it ORIGINAL as possible that would be same engine type: 4A-G. AE86 = 1.6 piston engine is my opinion as well. But, if someone has 13B powered AE86, I would love to sit behind the wheel for a test drive.......
