AE-86 beams swap

This forum is for cars that run, or at least are close to running. This isn't for parting out complete cars.

AE-86 beams swap

Thought this was cool. Might be a fair price. Depending on how well it was done.

nice engine in that thing, but seem kind of high price. but might be worth it if you want a GTS, I am sure he has a lot more than that into it. looks like nice work, though frankly I can do without the spherical bearing upper strut mount or a daily driver. harsh ride and those parts will wear out really quick as a road vehicle.

I think you're being WAY too harsh Petros.

While I really like the dash, what sells me on the whole deal is those duct tape covered rear headrests, It speaks to my inner RedGreen.

Yeah. The whole car has that "built by a high-schooler on the cheap" look but I think that the car being a GTS and having a riteous motor could make it a cool car with some tidying-up.

I noticed the classic American red neck duct tape upholstery. clearly the interior needs some work, that is why the price seems a bit much.
