I'm new, what's up everyone?, My introduction Options

[RobStar86]

Hi everyone, my name is Rob and I joined this forum almost 3 years ago when I was looking for a new daily. Wasn't able to find a 6th gen at the time that was clean enough so I ended up picking up a 7th gen which I still own now. Problem is, it's riddled with problems, need a paint job, transmission is on it's way out and many other problems that fixing it right now didn't make sense financially. So I went off on the hunt for a 6th gen again and checked out a few with no luck. The car was never what it was described as on the phone or in the ad. So finally, I found what looked to be too good of a deal about 4 hours from me in Point Edward (Sarnia, Ontario). Called the owner and got as much info as I could and the car sounded worth the drive. So I hopped in the car and headed out there with my dad to keep me company. When I got there, the car was exactly as described and has one small spot of surface rust on the front fender about an inch long and 1/2 an inch high.

Took it for a drive and fell in love with it and put down my deposit, will be picking it up Wednesday

Here's a shot of it from the sales ad, only thing that needs fixing was the car was backed into right after they posted it online so it's got a nice big dent in the drivers door. Will probably be sourcing a replacement door as the dent looks too much to fix.



I'll have some more pictures on Wednesday for sure.

I still have my 7th gen and will be keeping it as a back up for now and making it a project in the future. I sold a 1991 Toyota Soarer Twin Turbo for the funds to pick up the 6th gen and I can't wait to go pick it up!

Here's a few pics of my current cars

My Soarer that I sold and is being picked up tomorrow




My current daily 7th gen GTS, it's a 6 speed manual and I will miss the power it makes, goes really well. She looks a little beat up, she's been backed into a few times



And my current project AE86 hatch. I've had this car for 10 years and have stripped it down and will be building it back up as a weekend drift/fun car.



As she sits now



Anyways, that's my story

Hope to become an active member of the forums, thanks!
