If the car has been standing outside like that for more then 3 years I would certainly check the following:
- rust under windshield - rust in sidepockets of the trunk (they are a water trap in the 2 door coupe!) - rust in doorsills (also a rust trap!) - rust under carpets in footwell (if any water leaks into the car it will stay there) - rust on the bottomside of the car. You don't want to have to restore anything like this: http://www.aeu86.org/viewtopic/mine/t/4562 The car looks great from the top and was parked outside in a garden for only four years, but on the bottom it was so rotten that it could not be saved after all!  Not all SR5 were manual, as you can find here: http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/q_U_1985_TO..._AE86.html 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: ![[Image: AEU86 AE86 - ]](https://www.aeu86.org/sticker-banner-468.gif "AEU86 AE86 -")
