Every since I watched Initial D I wanted to give my try at building a nice AE86 but they seem to be rare to find. There is a 1985 GTS Trueno for sale locally for around $600 but the motor is needing replacement. My mailman stopped by earlier delivering my mail and asked about my s13 and why I sold it. He told me that he has a 1989 Toyota Corolla SR5 w/manual tranny that he would sell to me for "$50 and a bag of peanuts". lol. The motor he said is missing a few things and does not run but the body is perfect. Should I pick this up? Is this also a good platform for a vehicle to drift in? Also do you know of any good Toyota boards with AE86's etc?

Thanks
