New in Tennessee

[yukesrevolver]

Hmm, well, short and sweet then eh? Name is Mason, live in Nashville, and have been into AE86's for a little over ten years, owning an 85 GT-S hatch (now wrecked thanks to a careless redneck lady) during this length of time. Been on club4 since 2003, mostly in the parts section.



How she looked just a few weeks before the accident.



and after.

Since I'm married to the damned thing I won't get rid of it, but currently trying to find something to replace her until I can get things going on it. Found an original owner 87 SR-5 coupe with 80k miles not to far from here. They don't "know" what they have, but they know they have a clean version of the car. It basically looks like a 3-4 year old car. Always hesitant to snag SR-5's, they're typically more hassle than its worth...but something tells me I'll regret not picking it up.

Anyways, greetings to all!

Welcome to the Garage and thanks for the intro Mason. Hope you get back into a running AE86 again.

Thank you doc! Your thread on carb'd 4A-G's will probably come in handy in the near future, so thanks for putting it together!

Welcome from KY! Found my GT-S a few days ago in Clarksville, TN. Unrusted examples are tough to find on this side of the country it seems!

nice ae86 and suks what happened to your ae86 too, but you better pick that sr5 up man. you can sell it for like 5g man lol j/k.

Haaa, yeah...maybe on ebay. Its not like I don't have every single freek-od GT-S part needed for a conversion, but part of me keeps holding out for something else. A GT-S (or properly converted SR-5) just makes life easier at the start of the project. However, if there were an SR-5 deemed worthy of the effort to make it a "real" AE86, it would definitely be this one. It was a stunner for sure. Couldn't honestly think of a better platform to start with on a simple project....damn, I'm basically talking myself into buying it, lol.
