Hello does anyone know a shop/importer/anyone who can sell everything needed for a Trueno front end on an AE86?
|
1. Importers will very very rarely bring them in as loose parts. Cost too much and not worth it. Also very hard to find in japan (that is if you don't know where to look). Most importers don't give a rats arse about 86s and don't go the extra distance. 180sx and silvia parts on the other hand, well thats different.
Sometimes if you are extremely lucky, someone might import a complete vehicle or a front cut with one, and really really hate truenos (unlikely). So they buy a levin front and have a spare trueno. If you are lucky enuff to get it like this, most are rusted and smashed.

How much do they go for?
|
2. Anywhere between 1000 dollars (smashed, and rusted) to $2000 (something decent off a car). $1.5 seems to be the norm. Still it'll need to get sprayed and straightened out.

Has anyone got experience doing this, what is involved and how difficult is it to do?
|
3. Yes I have. I almost practically got given (thanks Mr Soopra!  ) a set of beat up guards. Re welded them on to some rust free levin ones. The bonnet came from garth (legend). the headlights I payed a really high amount for, considering how bent they were, and the rest I bought brand new from my toyota dealer.
I done pretty well in terms of price, but was a headache trying to source everything. I was very very lucky to know these people.

How do you hook up the pop up lights?
|
4. you modify the headlight loom using a relay from a RA60 poplight model, Aw11, etc... You can buy a 4 point trueno 4 point headlight switch, but can also modify the existing aus spec one.
