The cars people drive represent them.There's no better example of that than this 1985 Toyota Corolla GTS.
This AE86 is the definition of character.Just look at it, and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
From the moustache on the front bumper to the way the body is left free of paint, everything says something about the owner.
And, of course, this car is not going to be appreciated by everyone, and that's just fine because Justin couldn't care less.All he was trying to achieve with the Corolla was personal satisfaction, and it seems like his efforts succeeded.
Over the last decades the AE86 has become a jdm legend, there's no doubt about it.So you don't want to ruin the exterior. Justin did a great job keeping the famous look of the car but at the same time adding some shakotan elements to it.
What's under the hood wasn't left without any attention either.The main change was the swap of the 4a-ge in favor of a 4a-gze.
Seeing all the amazing machines that are being built on that side of the Atlantic ocean always makes me wish I were there to witness it all.Maybe someday we are going to have something like that here, who knows!
