Use of a Toyota corolla AE86 as donor

Well - here in dk they are not much worth. I would not be able to get more than 200£ for it

nice light engine will give good power to weight ratio. they are a fond choice of the drifters.

i say use it as a doner as it will only get sold to a drifter who is going to weld the diff up and rag it to death

Advertise it on a drifting forum called Driftworks and you'll make a fortune, prob enough to finance entire build

G'Day Johnnie,
Use what you've got mate, the Corolla's make a fantastic doner. The 16 and 20 valve 4AGE motors power many Clubmans in Australia. Good horsepower for their size and you already know how it revs. You might need to check for chassis clearance on the trailing arms and tyres, because the Haynes is 2" wider than the Locost, but you have everything you need in the shed.
Regards,
Mike.

these sell for well over 7000euro in ireland. even a rotten one would probably cost around 5k.

A solid shell sold on ebay Uk the other day for about £2500. That was a completely bare shell. So strip the parts and sell the shell = free roadster
