Isn't it odd how some amazing finds like this don't get any comments? I mean, sure, it's a notchback,and it's just an 80s Corolla, but it's still a beater AE86 GT-S. That's awesome, and super cool. Love those wheels, and the patina'd GT-S graphics say a lot. Love the sealed up sunroof.
something must have broken on great white tiburon's eponymous junker necessitating a budgetary shift from internet access to futile repairs.
regardless - this thing has a certain future at the terminus of one of two divergent paths: it will be bought at value plus inflation from bandwagon sackriding and saved by someone with the knowledge skill and appreciation it deserves, or it will be bought at an even higher price by someone with little to none of these attributes and crashed or sit neglected until the parts are more valuable than their sum. the silver lining of the latter proposition is that the parts will likely live on in several other examples for many years hence.
It'll be interesting in the future to see if all the riced/stanced/drifter AE86s and stuff will be restored, like the 70s street machines are being restored back to factory-stock muscle cars. Those 70s street machines are so 70s they're awesome, though.
Best of OPC.

SeattleO & sexyhammer nailed it.
