No sure if im allowed to put this here but please move to the appropriate section if not.

Aussie converted trueno for sale on gumtree listed under "Twincam" ....dont type in toyota or ae86 cos you wont find it.
I went to have a look for a 2nd project car but this car is way too far gone for me personally condition wise. the iterior is really rough, the dash is rooted and alot of the trim in the car is ripped, sun cracked and filthy. The whole car has been painted with a spay can and the engine bay with a paint brush. The engine looks pretty iffy and its got a lot of rust and appears to have sections with bog but is hard to tell.
On the positive it has a 4age in it and does have a late model trueno front. I didnt start it up but it looks like its been sitting or hasnt been run for a very long time.

Im not dogging the car but its just not for me. If anyone is looking to get into the ae86 game and isnt afraid of a fair bit of work to get her back to something reasonable, this is the cheapest 86 on the market, and its got the trueno front end and 4age and it is registered for all you initial D wannabees.When i first called the he guy couldnt even tell me what engine was in it and he wouldnt give me any info on the car but i think he was just playing dumb hence why im posting this for those interested. He is asking $4500 ono .

I think its prob worth about $3500 as you would probably get that if you parted it out.

Anyway hope someone on here can buy it as a foot in the door to the ae86 game so good luck :)

Haha Vernon when I saw this car on gumtree i thought i could get over my regret to selling my Trueno to you hahaha
How is the old girl going? i realised i havent seen it since I sold it to you. isnt it like 4-5 years ago now?
