New member, recently moved to Houston

Post by 8786 »

hello all, just moved to houston, a little background on myself, been a toyota nut for a long time, I love pretty much all classic toyotas. My current DD is my first AE86. When i bought it it was a sad 1987 sr5 with a dying 4ac, now its a sad sr5 with a 20 v 4age blacktop :-D. I love driving this thing and hopefully can start getting involved in some events and the ae86 community in houston. enough talking, here are some pictures. starting off with the first day i brought it home. ill add some more current pictures in a bit
