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.

PORTUGAL!! AE86 do poder!!
Toyota é que rula!
Interior look like ass or something? Was wondering if he left the oem lean-to-the-right of the TRD shifter
Jorge: I only have this small video, it wasn't recorded by me. It was @ Drift Unit event.
It was my first drift experience: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKGcEcWFqII
Lou:
The TRD shifter is leaned to the right...

Nice Resto! Reminds me I need to repaint my car :'(
Gonçalo, ace shots but the plate obscuring lets them down.
I know you can do better, so I assume it was done by someone else
Yes I know EA don't want to publish pics on their blogs revealing plate numbers.
Interior looks amazing!
looks beautiful in all aspects, wheels, interior, hard to believe its the same car.. love the tailgate spoiler too - sweet!!
Great car, great photos !! Portugal em grande!!
Óptimo trabalho. E bom ver que não se restauram so Mini´s,Escort´s e Carochas em Portugal. Finalmente começa-se a ver bons trabalhos em carros japoneses. Touches essa palavra tão portuguesa e tão mal entendida pelos estrangeiros,lol. Agora a sério,muito obrigado Pedro,como portugues e adepto de automoveis fizestes o meu dia.
86's are amazing i get a smile to my face every time i see one
já o rocha dizia..Rasteirinho é fudido
