I am speechless. You know too much about these things. This sure was a colossal project. Don't forget to post the final finished car.

Wow! 30 years of Albertan winters will really rust out a car. Great job so far, thanks for sharing!

Mine was a lot less rusty than most, and at the time, it was only 18 years.

Yikes!

I myself would like to know a little more about the mods you do on your spare time, to me sometimes attention to details trumps "over the top" I would PM you everytime u thought of starting a new mod but that would probably be creepy

Let me know seriously though, since I too work for toyota this could be easy with your knowledge!

I can't believe I just now found this thread. Jeff I do have to say that is a massive but very nice rebuild of this classic AE-86. I also like that you went with the GZE over the 4A-GE (20 valve)

Alberta winters are actually easier on the bodywork than eastern seaboard, northeast US and eastern Canada. It's cold, but not as damp and they don't use as much salt. The cold does do a number on rubber seals, bushings and O rings though.
