Toyota Sprinter AE86 White/black, manual, conversion to 2L 18RGEU, 104kws, full exhaust system, lowered King springs, full engineer certificate, Simmons 15in rear wheels, 13in Momo steering wheel, long rego $4900, TRD-18T MASCOT 02-9667 4653 or 0410-238887, 0410-083770.
i just thought this was a very interesting conversion, how do you think this engine would compare to the 4age's

probably has modified stock mounts
get a ae86/ae71 crossmember and you could drop a 4agze or 20v (provided you do the required mods so they drop in).
may as well buy an aussie spec and then whack a gze or 20v in. to put a gze or 20v in that car would just undo all the hard work.

Hey,
I have seen this car in the flesh nothing special i think. To remember I think it has a panda job as well which isn't a good job. Not to put anyone of this sale or anything but thats my opinon. It has gold simmons rims on the back which is quiet nice and lift up bonnet thing happening. i don't know anything about this engine but however there is heaps of sprinters going around without rust like mine and others but however never on sale.
Hoped it helped

Hey mateoo,
Well just wait a while and be patient sprinters come and go but it is hard to find one without rust but however you can always go to a panel beater and get the rust taken of. Hope you find something you like.
Happy searching

if the car is in overall good condition with only a small amount of rust and is going for $4000 well then its perfect for your engine conversion. you are going to find it hard to get a Sprinter with zero rust, plus stock Sprinters are still $2000-$4000 for anything decent, so just knock the guy down a bit and then get some money back by selling the 18r motor, and throw in the gze or 20v whichever one you want to put in.
i bought my 4ac Sprinter for $2900, it had a few small spots of rust which aren't hard to get rid of, the 4ac has served me well and is nearly ready to die, so the 4agze or 4age should be going in soon.
but yeh if you want a gze or 20v in a Sprinter and cant find one already done for a reasonable price, then this Sprinter would be a good option seeing as its in ok condition from what you've said.
good luck anyway dude.
