This project began to take shape back in 2005 when Pedro Carvalho, who
always had a soft spot for the old Corolla TwinCam, bought an old red
hachiroku.
The car was now on its 7th owner…
…It was looking tired and had been poorly maintained with some evidence of a front collision.
He didn’t drive the car a lot, in fact disassembly began the day he bought it.
The body was fixed and straightened and in 2007 it was finally painted in Toyota’s Super White.
In 2008 the now absolutely mint AE86 was ready to be unleashed on the road and indeed the race track.
Koni shocks and TRD springs were fitted…
… along with SSR Mesh Wheels to give it looks to die for.
The TRD ducktail and JDM whiteline tail lights give the car a lot more character.
In 2010 the car will enter some more track days and Pedro planning to swap the engine for a 20v Blacktop.
