Like most of you, I'm guessing, I became interested in the AE86 from watching those crazy Japanese ppl drift in them....and Initial D of course.
I've been searching and searching for probably 7 months....but I finally found the perfect one...but the lady who owned it refused to sell it (I'm guessing she loves drifting too

Anyway, It was in pretty good condition compared to a lot of other 86's I was trying to buy, but the sad part is it wasn't running

Here are some pics of my new project:

Towing this awesome car home:

So....driving all the way from Houston to Bryan with the tow truck guy was a little awkward...but we became friends, his name is Luis

Welcome to your new home!
Engine:
![Image](http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss141/sexaybeast87/AE86%20Corolla%20GTS/DSC04320.jpg)
Here it is when I first got it
![Image](http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss141/sexaybeast87/AE86%20Corolla%20GTS/DSC03945.jpg)
My friend and I were working on it yesterday and we took off a couple things like the distributor and the ignitor to be tested...the car doesn't seem to be getting spark
![Image](http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss141/sexaybeast87/AE86%20Corolla%20GTS/DSC03944.jpg)
So yup, that's about it. I'm going to be working on the car as much as I can everyday to make it run again....then when I get more money, I can fix up the exterior and interior. My goal is to get it running by July so I can DD it in Austin and of course work on it some more. I'll be honest, this is my first project car and I don't know much so if any of you guys are around the NW side of Houston and wanna come help, that'll be awesome! Let me know what you guys think
