Hi my name is Karl, and I've been an AE86 Addict for about 10 years now... Got my first Corolla Sprinter in 1999 and it's successor in 2001 which I have to this day (a few pics below) will make a detailed thread soon.
I'm from South Australia but currently in Norway for 12 months on a working holiday, so I am looking forward to what this side of the world has to offer and also meeting up with some local hachi-roku fiends on my travels.
Cheers! Skål! Servus! Czesc!

Welcome! 
That is a very nice Levin you got there! 
Are those front fenders the FRP copies with widened arches?

yes that's right they are FRP fenders from Origin Lab (Osaka) and have about 15mm wider flare.

you mean this one?
This is a very old pic like around 2000-2001 of the first 20V in my car.
The guy I purchased the car from (Rick) did the conversion.
The engine is currently out and getting some attention...

Time for some more gold... here's some classic pics from 2000 of my first Sprinter featuring 15x6.5 Volk Mesh and SSR EXC 15x7's and the "popped bonnet" which was the style at the time
Warming her up in the morning the neighbours loved the 4A alarm clock!

This was a concept sketch I drew around 2001 when I got the second car... (before I knew the wonders of photoshop)
By 2002 except for the GoodLine front bar and bonnet it seems to have been close to the mark  I still would love a set of Watanabe's but maybe more like 15x9 -13 rather than the 8's envisaged
That's actually a Cressida GLXi Lip cut and shut to fit 
5Zigen Border Max muffler was meant for SW20 MR2 
Some dish on the 15x7 Dyna-Lite Mesh (it's not a big phone even by todays standards

Hey mate, can you help me with the colorcode of your centers (wheels). I'm seriously thinking to paint them too.

Thanks! My friend made the characitures for me in photoshop, but to make them first cut wheels and arches and put on another layer, then stretch the background down 30-40% (you can also stretch the cabin up too). Then paste wheels over again (enlarge or shrink wheels to suit) might need some blending retouching to smooth out
