    Default AE86 chassis, similar to another model?

    Hey everyone,

    Just wondering if the AE86 chassis is similar to any other model?

    Reason for asking, due to the AE86 being quite rare to find at a wreckers (especially where I live) I am hoping that another model may be similar enough to get an exhaust off and some other bits and pieces.
    Even if someone knows that another model has the same bends etc but is a bit longer in the mid section because the chassis is longer than the 86. I hope you know what I mean.

    Also seeing if other models seats, back and front, would fit easily.

    Cheers,
    Craig.

    Daihatsu Charmants are basically four door AE86. I know because i'm building one currently. Stuff as specific as fender bars will bolt on easily. I don't know if you can find one there, though. It's seen every now and then here in Indonesia. KE70s AFAIK slightly differ on the suspension such as the front struts.

    Get the exhaust made up. Ae71 exhaust crosses over under the bellhousing ae86 crosses somewhere not there.

    Ke70 front seat will bolt in. By that I mean you can use bolts to hold the seat to the floor but not properly. Only 2 directly bolt up, one's 3-4mm iirc off and the other's like 15mm off. Rear are nowhere near same. KE70 seats don't fold down and they're not 2 piece back.
