Thinking about purchasing a MEME

>2500-4000 USD
well fuck

Oh, I also found that new LSDs are only $350 or so online. Not too bad.

>What the fuck is up with that front bumper?

Go look for a 1st gen RX7 is you absolutely must have something old and slow with a solid axle.

Thanks guys.

I'll probably go look at it this weekend and see what happens. I probably won't buy it, but I can't help but feel that it will end up scrapped and that will make me very sad. Hopefully I can convince the owner to part it out if we can't make a deal or the frame is too fucked.

I might make a thread afterwards but I probably won't because there most likely won't be anything of value to report.

I would if I could. There haven't been any on craigslist for ages.

It is seriously many thousands of dollars worth of body work to make that car good. I'd only buy it if I had a nice MIG welder at home, and an assload of time. Then I'd rattle can it and beat the piss out of it.

...you could probably find a faster 2nd gen supra for less than that thing would end up costing with all the body work involved and it would still have an interior. Literally 3-4000 diggery doos gets you a pretty nice supra where I live. Last year a guy offered me an automatic supra for 700 dollars. A little rusty and beat up, but he was literally driving around when he offered it to me.

I remember looking at a stripped out foxbody Capri once that was in better shape than that POS at half the price.

Stripped out V6 mustang (the ugly ass ones) with a 5 speed for 600 around my area.

nah, this was a 5.0 with a 4 speed (I didn't ask what had happened to the original tranny). it couldn't idle for shit, but it would have been one hell of a beater.

The V6 would have been fun to hoon on but I bet the one I saw would have blown up shortly after I got it since the PO used it for the same thing.

My first car was an 86. I loved it and would totally buy another one despite it being super overpriced and objectively awful in every way, but this one is worthless, sketchy as fuck, and I promise you will regret every minute of owning it.

>Why is it carbed when 4A-GE's were EFI, and how does it affect driving?
Carb conversions are actually pretty common for AE86's. They're a cheaper and simpler alternative to ITB's, without the need for a standalone ECU, and more importantly, they look and sound cooler.

This one is a converted SR5. GTS hatches go for about 4-5k minimum, stock SR5's in perfect condition are worth under 3k. That could also explain why it's carbureted, less wiring to deal with.

This. The engine bay is the same color as my car, it probably had a GTS front clip welded on. The headlights and reflectors are also missing, and replacements are not easy to find. The front bumper looks weird because it was replaced (OEM ones are painted) and the fitment is off.

For the love of god OP, don't buy this shitbox.

>4A-GE's were EFI
not all
