A few months ago, we decided to hold a contest on our Facebook page to see what our readers were driving. Sometimes when you’re busy building and maintaining websites and businesses, it’s very easy to lose site of who your readers are and what they are into. So we ran a simple contest: post a pic of your car, and we’ll choose a car to use as our default avatar. Well, after a couple dozen submissions in just a few days, we stumbled onto Navin’s Hatchi.
As an avid fan of AE86’s and a previous owner of one, I can appreciate the level of difficulty in building these. For one, it’s near impossible to come across a clean donor. If you do, you’re invariably chasing an old woman through a shopping mall parking lot asking her if you can buy it. This typically doesn’t go over well. She has no idea you want to buy her car. Actually, even when she realizes all you wanted was to by her car and not steal her purse, she’ll still think you’re a crazy person for being so excited about her old Toyota. Women will never understand. Two, parts are rare. Not many tuners in the states stock parts for these cars since they’re so rare, so you’re always waiting on special orders from Japan. And three, if you need OEM replacement parts like a dashboard (since they’re all cracked), get your credit card out and get on eBay. If you’re lucky to find a clean one, get ready for a bidding war.
