Yeah, i will never stray away from an AE86! Gonna do the next one to more of a budget, so i can still afford to live and maybe get a house next year!

I'm sorry to hear you're selling up. I remember having to sell mine because I got caught doing 100 mph on the M4 on my way to see you to pick up a distributor for mine!

Dont do it! you will just regret it your 'budget' one wont compare
what youve made is a once in a lifetime effort! you cant just give it away! money, although nice isnt that nice as you would never spend it again!
who ever buys it will be just laughing all the way to the bank and probably sell it on for more a uk spec in that condition with that history is worth that (for all the silly price non believers)
- get the uk lights back on it for UBER desirable spec!
just sell the budget one for cash and some of those cheap part exes you can pick up from work and you will be back on top of the doe situation!
making money is much easier than making that car again!
PS need a CHEAP ST185 GT4 if you got any idea on one!

There is more to my reasoning for selling!
I have been lucky enough never to of crashed or damaged the car, but being used hard in anger it is only a matter of time before it happens! And as we all know, important panels are no longer available for the 86! So if i duff it into a barrier and the panel is beyond straightening, what could i do?!?! Buy another 86 to cut off a 1/4 panel!? I think not!
I have got a different car for competing in now (not an 86), which everything is available for! So if i bend it i just order a new panel and get it painted! Simple!
My other 86 is tatty but very solid! And as im going to use it for some road rallying, it wouldnt matter if it gets abit battered! That is not that attitude i can afford to take with betty!

Bump it up there for a minter
i have never had the luck to see this car in real lfe, but from what i have seen in pics and through word of mouth i can honestly say its one that evryone building should compare theirs to!!! its not ott its jus what an 86 should be!!! sorry for u having to sell bud, but sometimes life has a way of making u do these things!!!
