That AE86 is automotive pornography! You've done a superb job of restoring it!

I loathe illegal number plates.

But it just looks so right on your Toyota.

I think my head might explode.

Lovely Toyota, it looks better than new! I think minilites look so right on them and I actually think the plates suit too. I'm also a closet Nova fan especially ones with red top conversions

Thanks guys. Was so tempted to tax it again with ther being a bit of good weather but I held out lol have a few plans for it over the winter just to the suspension and some brake upgrades. I'm also considering painting my pulsar camouflage because I can't afford a professional respray with my wedding getting closer and I'll be using if for the track to so not really worried if it's crap or not lol

Great work on the Toyota especially for not going down the same bloody route as everyone else smile

Very keen to know more about Godzuki if you can.

Gorgeous. Get rid of that pea shooter for an exhaust with something fairly fitting and subtle and I think it'd be perfect.

It's a 2 inch outward rolled janspeed that's on it. I'm not that fond of a big exhaust on an ae86 tbh but thanks for the comment.

@stu yep I'm a fellow norn ironer lol

Amazing restore, man, you've got skills! Really surprised with the number plate choice though, the non-standard font kinda ruins it for me frown

Thanks guys I had standard font plates on it for a while and the seemed to take away from the look of the car if that makes sense lol here's an old pic



The smaller font gives it a cleaner look

My cousin had one many moons ago in that weird default Corolla GL gold -one of the rarer colours for a ae86
