hi people, im new to the forum. i just bought my first ae86. i have a 86 sr5 project car. i own a custom car shop in central florida and always loved the ae86 style. ive built a few for friends but this is my first. i got in on trade for some work and needs a lot of work but i couldn't be happier. im looking to do a 20v swap

First, welcome! Second, wow .. you are not kidding about the needs a lot of work part. I think you might want to tear it all the way down, dry ice blast / epoxy prime / seal that thing PDQ ... especially since you are submerged in Florida humidity.
You should start a build thread, it would be awesome to see the progression of this thing at a professional shop.

i already started stripping it down, its going to the blaster next week. as far as a build thread im squeezing this build in between customer cars and my other builds so i dont have the time to do a full step by step thread, i might post pics at random stages of the build though.

Welcome to The Garage. Congratulations on the acquisition.

Welcome to the forum.............................

Thanks

WELCOME, I bet that coupe is going to be on point when you're done.

What do you plan on using it for? Maybe consider doing a v8 swap instead
