AE86 Toyota Corolla - Project Pinoy Pride AE86

It was approximately a year ago when i bought my faded cherry red 1985 Toyota Corolla GTS Coupe. It cost me $1000, a pack of smokes, and five minutes in the shower with a dude named Rusty-a deal I couldn't possibly pass up. It was also around the same time I had enough gall to introduce it as my project car in the October 2004 issue ("Seal the Deal", page 90), as if I was going to start building it up within those following months. Now fast forward to this issue and, as you can see from the subtitle above, that proposed buildup is only starting now.

For the rest of the story, along with more specs, photos, and useless info from Uncle Ro-Dogg's Pinoy Pride AE86, pick up the January issue of Super Street Magazine, or click to Super Street back issues to pick it up if it's arleady been pulled off your newsstand.
