Swiss Madman
Hello everyone and greetings from Switzerland in my first post on this forum!

Just bought my first car with my own money and I got this beast in the picture:

It's in great condition, no rust at all, mostly stock with some well made performance modifications. I'll open up a project thread about this car, where I'll detail its history, plans and progress. Link will come soon.

As a DD I have a '92 Camry that I got from my parents a few years back, which will accompany the 86 for as long as possible.

Welcome! Smile
And I have to agree with the others: very nice condition and these Advans are looking good on the car!

Partly. Most part was done by the guy at Speed Industries who has a contact in Japan that helps him get the car ready for shipping and all. He also showed me the things I have to keep track of for getting all the stuff surrounding taxes and documentation right.

This car I saw on tradecarview and asked him if his contact could find the dealership that has it - which he did. The rest is history now, which I'll detail in the project thread I'll start typing out once I have an evening of time. There you'll have lots more photos.

Here's some of the photos that were posted with the ad:

And yeah, the Advans look really great. They are in need of restoration though, front wheels have quite a few chips in the surface and all have some chips in the rims.
