I don't know how fast this will progress, splurged suddenly to get this because I wasn't actually expecting to find an AE86 in my price range.

Lo and behold I found one, so about a total of around 800 miles later (in the thousands if you consider the second car) here she is:

Snug as a Bug. (Have a truck coming in a few days to clean almost everything out of the garage and take it to the dump, need some 86 space)

Some assembly required (Previous owner had 100% of the dash taken apart when I got there, had to jimmyrig the speedo to work, crossed my fingers that it didn't overheat and stopped every 50-75 miles to check the oil)

That's all I have for now, happy to be part of the family!

Replaced all the rubber trim on the hatch, fixed the headlights so they can flip up and down without difficulty.
Fixed a few interior pieces that had slight snaps/tears (all hard plastic) and superglued them back together.

Previous owner had rolled into something causing the hood to be bowed.

So I surfed junk yards until I finally found an Ae86 tucked away in the back, got the hood and complete headlight modules for 100$

Haven't been updating as much as I should so I'll throw you guys a few pictures to get you up to date!

Took the front bumper off because the red line on the SR5 one was bugging me.

220,000 and holding!

Edit: Long time no see! AE86 is pretty much on the back-burner right now because my wife and I are getting close to having our first child (10 weeks to go as of updating this!) But I have gotten rid of all my cars since the last time I've been active on this thread.

Sold my '88 Supra, sold my '89 MR2, traded my '77 3T-C Swapped Corolla, traded my '91 1MZ-FE Swapped MR2, sold my other '88 Supra and I am currently looking to sell my Silvertop 20-v swapped TE27 Corolla Wagon.

I am locking in my current collection, and will not sell or trade any of them unless the price is just right.

1988 All-Trac Celica, one of an estimated 2,250 imported into the United States, an estimated 11,000 total.
Turbo charged 3S-GTE, 5-Speed, my crown jewel. I never thought I would own one.

1988 5-speed 4A-GZE Supercharged MR2, I got this in a trade a few months after I sold my last one and I think I might hang onto this one. I really love the 2-seaters, and while the GZE AW11 doesn't have quite as much power as I would like, it's still a lot of fun.

That's a nice collection you got there.
