My AE86 Corolla



I have a 1984 Toyota Corolla SR-5 'barn find'. The owner did not have time to give it any love so it ended up sitting behind a barn for about 7 years in northwestern Wisconsin. I got in contact with him and we worked out a deal...we would pick the car up and trailer it back to the cities with an additional pickup to haul all of the "extra pieces". It was a huge project! Looking back, I was totally unprepared for the amount of work, but the process has been transformative for both me and the car. I built it from the ground up with help from friends and a very supportive wife. The car now has a 4ag in it from an AW11 MR2 that has been built (7rib block, GZE Pistons, small port head and bluetop cams) along with a S13 Garrett T25 turbo running 7PSI, along with its aero kit it also has a flashy "bass boat" style sparkly wrap that catches eyes where ever I bring the car!
