MY 1983 ADM Toyota Sprinter

[[MET]]

Hey Guys,

Here is afew pics of my newly acquired AE86 Sprinter 1983 ADM model.

This is my 3rd Sprinter over the past 5-6years, 1x4AC, 1x4AGE 16v, ive also owned a 4AGE 100kw TE72 T18.

I picked this up pretty cheap with 4months rego, runs well and has an excellent straight body, although paint is faded badly, No Rust in body at all, (excuse the tailgate! lol )apart from one small 5c piece near rear taillight and small surface rust new petrol cap, both of which have been sanded/filed down and repaired.

It bought this bog stock, and requried afew thing for a RWC. It has 177,000 and interior is fairly clean.

-Windscreen, brake hoses, tyres(just bought rims instead), steering rack boots, and afew globes.

Ive only owned it 2 weeks but i got stuck right into it and started pulling it apart, needed to bin the old hatch and spray a new one which was supplied with the car.

so far these are what ive purchased, or had from old cars, and am in the middle of installing:
- Whiteline adj front strut brace (from old car)
- Whiteline adj front swaybar (from old car)
- Tokico adj Illumina shocks (from old car)
- TRD springs (from old car)
- Black - japanese made lightweight "Black Racing" (rs watanabe style)
- T-series TE72 rear end drum to drum
- T3 RCA's
- Tein Upper Pillow ball mounts
- Redline Taillights
- Kouki Parkers (ordered just waiting)
- Custom plates (from old car)
- Momo black fixed bucket seat with AE86 rails (from old car)
- Twincam steering wheel
- Pivot Shift Light (from old car)
- Dash matt - AJPS
- Stickers lol

to come in the next 4-6weeks, Jap Spec RWD 16v 4AGE, Levin letterbox grille, some kind of front brake upgrade to JDM or RA60 calipers with slotted rotors. Then later in the year a new paint job in a slightly darker metallic blue.

Ill add some more pics next week when its rolling again see below before and after Excuse the AE82 parker! lol waiting for the Kouki ones

oh and before anyone points it out, the car isnt on blocks of wood its got car stands under the rails and wood blocks for a secondary and the wheels under the side lol plus! the hydraulic jack under crossmember, is that enough?

The back looks so much better once the rust was removed... Did you get that fixed or did you replace the boot?

[[MET]]

fix that? lol HELL NO! when i bought the car i got given a better hatch that was bronze so abit of sanding and painting, and it came up well

I was just VERY lucky the rear of the body had no majour rust

thanks guys, yeah i almost regretted buying it when i picked it up and drove it home, i just had to pull it all apart that night. Afew guys how have had and seen ALOT of AE86s said they have never seen a hatch so bad, and amazed that it didnt rust out the inner boot.

Looks 100% better now hard to match 20year old faded paint :/ but it will get a re-spray in afew months oct/nov, thats after the engine conversion though

at least u could just get a new panel/boot, my rust is on the shell major repairs to be done, but youve done a good job though.

thanks, yeah the seller supplied a new hatch different colour with only minor rust so i dodgy painted that with a can for the time being, it can be a bitch to find them 2nd hand with no rust.

There was only a 5cm hole above tail light which i fixed by filing it out and filing with metal filler etc.
