    I think I'm already attached to the whole idea ! haha. Yeah as I said before seems like the little group of ae86's owners in Canberra are awesome !

    I mainly want the car to be not too flashy something that I can keep working on and learn from over the months / years. As for fixing I have no idea unfortunately but I'm willing to learn ! and the Canberra group seems to be willing to maybe teach me in there spare time when I finally get one!

    if you pay 6k for that car you have more money than sense. 3k is a more realistic price. its a 30 year old corolla after all

    anyone else notice that ae86 has rola roof racks. car has rego, so long as its close to RWC and has little to no rust, low km's and matching numbers i'd personally say a 6k asking price isnt too bad, i would not buy it but its not way over priced.
    also i wouldn't recommend buying a project car that doesnt run as your first car, you get heaps more out of mantaining and adding more parts to a running car that you get to drive and experience instead of working on something all the time.

    Went down to the shops (Mawson for the Canberran's) and saw this ! was hoping to see the owner but came out of Woolies and drove past it and it was gone. Is it a sign ? Must be destiny I need an ae86 haha. I looked at the picture section of all the ae86's looks amazing seeing them built from just a shell!

    the panelvan add looks like those scammer adds from earlier this year.... Anyone else think that?

    The other 2 are overpriced in my opinion..

    Brandon, there is a guy locally selling a neat one for $2500.... Let me know if you want details .......
