This car has been meticulously restored and modified by a professional shop, a top tier mechanic, and a long time AE86 enthusiast over a period of many years. A well-known Honda tuning shop in the Bay Area performed all the initial custom fabrication for the engine swap and all the chassis work. The shell was taken down to bare metal and fully stich welded, critically reinforced, seam sealed, and caged. The F20C engine was custom mounted into the car without using any off the shelf kits, including cutting and fabricating a new transmission tunnel. The swap was subsequently completed by a well-respected mechanic, who also added in A/C and hydroelectric power steering. The car was painted, and all the trim was replaced with new OEM pieces from Toyota. I subsequently purchased the car, and spent several years sorting and fine tuning it, utilizing 16 years of experience with the AE86 chassis. If you know what you are looking at, you will appreciate the quality and comprehensiveness of the build.
The price is $45k FIRM. I have no reason to sell it, other than I rarely ever drive it, and wouldn’t mind it going to a new appreciative owner.
