my ae85 levin
hey all, ill introduce myself, Im Doug, i live in Auckland NZ, i saw this car 3 years ago and fell in love with it, iv always been into my rwd old skool cars, especially toyota's, so when i saw this one i had to have it, i asked the old guy if he wanted to sell, he said no, so i asked him on a monthly basis, after 3 years of trying i finally said "hows about i leave my name and number and when you want to sell PLEASE call me?" about 2 weeks later guess what...i got a call Hurray! Hurray!

so i took it home and it needed a new clutch, so did that and used it to take to work and for play for a few weeks until i decided time to do my thang to it,so heres is progress so far.......

Well done for being persistance on the former owner. What plans have you got for it?

It seems that there are a good fanbase of oldskool Toyotas in Australia and your way Big Grin .

yea they love them out these ways, so many windy roads, how can you not?
well im going to drop the 4age 100kw engine in, with exhaust and filter, it has had some internal work done so will run NA for a while, doing full kit aswell as trd rear wing, then going to be orange, interior will be black, gotten ruid of back setas to make way for half cage, all interior bits will be painted satin black and redoing carpet black and have black fixed back bucket seats, no point in having rear seats, my wife has a toyota caldina wagon(3sgte engine-250+hp) so got a car for passengers
