altezzaclub Posted September 26, 2017 Report Posted September 26, 2017 Nice! You're getting quite a collection! What was it worth in $US?? Quote
Big G Posted September 26, 2017 Report Posted September 26, 2017 Having one AE86 is cool enough but two thats just plain greedy. And to be using it as a daily hack that is just a sin. I wonder how many are hanging around in barnes forgotten and unloved in Australia. Quote
SM Hunter Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Posted September 26, 2017 Payed, 20,000Nok equal to 3200 australian dollars, was not put for sale so the price was low being a 86.... haha starting to get enough cars now, but its fun Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted September 26, 2017 Report Posted September 26, 2017 Good find reminds me of when I found mine. Is it 147 silver metallic? Whats the body number and year? Quote
altezzaclub Posted September 26, 2017 Report Posted September 26, 2017 "I wonder how many are hanging around in barnes forgotten and unloved in Australia" I was in Cairns fixing up my rental house, drove up in the KE70. I ran into an old farmer at the supermarket with one, he'd had it since brand new & no-one drove it these days since he & his wife had 4WDs. He'd only bought it into town as his landcruiser was in being serviced. I'd only just bought the KE70 and didn't think it was worth chasing... Quote

SM Hunter Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) i 'm finished with school now, still poor tho... i earn alot from selling old toyota parts nad have a part time job now... colour is 147 ;) here is the plate for you, its a 1984, atleast thats when it registerd in Denmark, could be a 83 sold in 84 or opposit... then its imported to norway in 2004, and put to storage in 2007... driver side/left of the car is now rust free! prepping for paint need some silver paint to touch up the front fender so didnt realy care abut the arch being rigth as you see.. ill take that later when i touch up the silver hmm Edited September 28, 2017 by SM Hunter Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Nice work on the rust. Yes same colour as mine used to be from original. Its a way better spec with T283 and 4age instead of s series and 4ac. Clever how you worked the panda black in to cover the repairs. Quote
SM Hunter Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Posted October 1, 2017 cool! haha yeah I'm glad i'v got the lsd and 4age, planning to put my TRD 2 way kouki axle into it when summer comes.. guessing the stock one is good enough for the winter! time for the boot lid welded and primed spoiler mounted, painted black below the lights and painted the panda stripe on the bumpers all the visible rust is taken so i need to finish the arces up and paint this side aswell.. missing a day of rust welding behind the left wheel but thats it! could not stand the black hood so i painted it, and the bumper need to touch up the arcehs with some gray paint and its pretty much done on this side a good week and a half of work now Quote
