More pictures at the bottom of this page.

1985 AE86 Levin with 4AGZE (supercharged 1.6) conversion.

Selling due to travelling.
This car has 12 months MOT (Mid Jan 2010) and 6 months (June 2009) tax.
Odometer is on 162k km (about 100k miles).
It's just had a newly rebuilt engine in and is running well as you can see from my build blog.
Bodywork needs minor attention, rear arches has a paint split one side and bubble on the other, but pockets (typical rust point) are good.
Please see www.cardomain.com/ride/3127959 for full details on the build, and lots of pictures of the engine conversion.
The only problem is the steering is a bit wobbly but I will hopefully rectify this soon.

Engine:

Freshly rebuilt 4AGZE (1.6 supercharged) engine from a AE101 Corolla (165bhp standard)
