Hi guys im new here, just aquired an 84 AE71 which i intend to turn into a drifter to have a bit of fun with. Planning on putting in SR20DET and 5 speed. Probably be asking alot of questions as i get further into the project as i havent ever owned a toyota and am keen to start doing it up. Ill keep posting new pics up as i get new things completed.

So i started stripping the car out today, took everything else out except for the dash which may have to wait till next weekend. I also took off the badges, bumpers and side strips. Hopefully soon ill start working on the body work and look into getting a cheap respray for it too. Oh and got a mate coming around one day soon to help me roll the arches so hopefully that works out well.

Box full of goodies, basically everything i need for the motor including a very strange looking gold plated inlet manifold, looks useless though.

And finally a manual pedal box from a KE70, its a cable type one but a friend and i are gonna strengthen it and convert it to run a toyota hiace master with a remote reservoir.

drft_wpn70 - Never realized there were so many people with them, you know how you never notice that particular type of car till you own one yourself, weird hey.
