Default Look what I just got on 01/01/10

Just picked this up yesterday, its an 1985 ae86 GTS. Hope you guys will give it a warm welcome.
Car drives good so far, 4 hours driving home and no problems. The body and interior will need some work.

Did you get it to be a daily beater? I know some people buy them to build something, I just can't see any appeal for myself in that car.
