Hi Guys I am looking at buying a ae82 twincam and was wondering what to look for the one I am looking at has done about 180000k I have owned a 1988 sx and my daughter has a ae92 gti what are they like compared to theseand what is a fair price for one many thanks Johnny
well you look for the obvious things rust damage etc, main rust areas for ae82s are the fule cap area very common and also tailgate area. u mite have some trouble finding one with that many kms but theres no reason y cant find one just mite take a while. main differences are the shape of the car engines are faifly same just slit power differences 88kw n 100wk, should be right with that if any one knows differently feel free to correct me there. the ae92s have a bit more advanced dashboard few extra guages etc. i guess its up to u what u really like, some like the 82s some the 92s. i like em both, i was to buy another corolla itd be a 92.
Ae 82's rust around the bodykit on all the wheel arches and when u lift the tailgate check the hinge panel the paint isn't very thick there and they rust surface rust is treatable but they rot right out if not treated early also sunroof panels rust and are impossible to find in good condition had to have new metal put into mine lucky i know a guy who does roofchops for a living
