Awesome save.................

Hopefully the paperwork is almost done, so I should be able to pick it up soon. In the meantime,
I have managed to track down an intact liftback taillight. It needs to be cleaned up and have the digital camo duct tape removed from the edges.

I then happened across an '85 SR5 coupe in the junkyard, and was able to grab the fuel tank sending unit, and front signal lenses. Hopefully after I get the fuel line on the GTS tank fixed, I'll have all the parts needed to get the car on the road minus wheels and tires.

so rad that you saved that thing. every time i go to pick n pull i'm always tempted to salvage the classics that i see, but i have yet to come across one in as good condition/complete as that 86

can't wait to see it back on the road!

you are really lucky i have never seen any of those cars ever and you have found 3 different ones

How much was it? You're lucky you got it quick. A GTS hatch was dumped in my junkyard and within a week it was COMPLETELY stripped.

The week I sold my SR5, I went to the junkyard and saw a 2-tone silver and black GTS coupe get put in the yard, and by the time I passed it again on my way out (20 minutes later) it had been completely stripped. If my GTS had been put in on a weekend, I'd never have been able to save it.

No doubt about that, I'm talking about.complete chassis though lol This one had a hicomp in it. It had a bride bucket, LSD rear end, complete interior, all that steez. I got to see it the day it left the lot it was a bare shell.

Quick update. The yard crushed the 86 by mistake.

However, I am so set on AE86 ownership now that I ended up trading my daily driver Miata straight up for this:

Ohh man, that's tragic.

Cool coupe, though.

Can we change the thread title to "A Razor blade after all..."?

A thread with its own theme music, keep it up!

Coupes with JDM bumpers look SO GOOD. Making me reconsider snatching one of these up.
