Re: Replica New AE86 hatch body shell coming ?
The issue in the states is that a VIN is required for importing, which these don't have. I haven't looked into it too much, but at a 5pc minimum, if someone was to buy all that, only to have them send back after arriving at customs...
but yea, this place is a ghost town. more spam registrations, no discussions, it's a shame.

Re: Replica New AE86 hatch body shell coming ?
yeah, it would be really cool if there was a way to re vitalize this forum. lots of good stuff here, most of the info i use for my 5.5AG build is just pulled from old threads on here. maybe if the A series and other cars that have the A series(other than the 86 and MR2) got more recognition from younger enthusiasts the forum could be a little bit more lively.

Never 'got' that social media stuff. Was shocked at the trash content, in the early days
I lurked, not register. Sure it has it's benefits. Gen X is a "microwave society", suited for FB
Forums invaluable for us 'old school'. Info should be preserved. We lost alot tho.
Dynacorn? stamped out 69 camaro replicas like 20years back. Can't recall the VIN 'provisions'
I watched a series of them 'restore' one.... back when old hotrod shows were quality
Other popular "classics" replicas were available too. I'd think same DMV work-arounds for AE

Re: Replica New AE86 hatch body shell coming ?
You can apply at the state level, for a new VIN. You are registered as an assembled vehicle. Each state will have an inspection check list, which is needed to be able to verified, before they issue a new title.

It'd be interesting to see an a 'build' of an actual street AE "restored" & final cost
The maker of the shell should sponsor such, that it may stimulate sales
I'd start with whatever sound deadening type, toyota used in my 81 TE rollas
With AC those 3T cars were faaarrr quieter than any of my AE rollas. Wierd

Even though the quality aspect might be questionable, I'm stoked for it. Especially for a motorsports application where you need stuff to be disposable.

Re: Replica New AE86 hatch body shell coming ?
that would be an expensive motorsport, to start with a brand new $9 gran *shell*.... only to go get banged up
But hey, if there is a market fot it. Prolly more directed to renewing some of the many 'rust buckets' out there
I hope they put enough recycled sardine & tuna cans into the metal mix, so it won't rot early
I wonder what they do with the original sheet metal dies.... destroy 'em ?
