Thanks for your coments guys. And it has taken me some time and lots of hard work to bring it to this!
Just imagine...I only paid $100.00 for it, so that tells you how crapy it was. The dealership owner asked me if I was just using it for parts or track!! But I told him, no...I'm rebuilding it! He was like really but not believing me.
Last he saw it was like the picture next to the Apache Helicopter and he was very impress with it! I took him for a ride and he liked it!
He called me later on to ask me how to work on one he came across to build for his son who was crying about an AE86...must have seen the Initial D movie or games !! LOL.
The one he got was the SR5 but his son wanted it anyways. So he wanted to fix it fast so I told him to buy a rebuil engine from Auto Zone and have his dealership mechanic install it...don't know what happened after that.

Just say no to neons...

I did...this are (now) LED's!!

This is a show car and I enjoy turning on those things those things @ car shows. And every one has their own likes...this, I like.

Now the AE92...since is for sale, that one is staying that way!

But here you go...no neons!!
