Hey fellas, pretty new to this forum but I have been following it for ages.
Anyway, I have been scouting for a decent ae86 for some time now and it so happens one popped up in my little town. It is a 1985 model with 250 000kms on it and runs okay. The hatch has rust on it which the guy (a dodgy backyard mechanic)bodged up but its not really bad. The motor is the 4ac and it runs okay. The clutch is on he edge of dieing and the gearbox is okay. The suspension looks to be average and the interior eg the door trim will need replacing. The dash is good and the body is in fairly good condition.... fairly straight. He wanted 1950 for it but as he couldn't get a Safety certificate for it, he went down to $1200. I want to get one an put a 4age 16 or 20v *haven't decided yet), TRD lsd and white line full suspension in it.
Keep in mind the car runs and is driven daily. the interior is excellent apart from door trim... What should I do?
I am on a fairly tight budget but I would like to repaint it, re-trim, new CD player and speakers, 4age, suspension, LSD and maybe a respray and some basic light mags. Is it worth it?
Is this a good price?
the car runs okay - prolly got another 50 000kms in it before something like the clutch dies. Is it worth it????
thanks alot
Gavin
