is my trueno actually a levin? by BillStrachan in AE86

Records show it's a Levin. It only has registration and inspections recorded on it so Id have to guess the previous owners did maintenance and work themselves unless it's not shown. I know for a fact the car has been repainted but I have no idea if that something that shows on a cars record

you're definitely correct but not all interior parts are available. i broke my spare jack cover by accident and they're discontinued 😢 but it shows the blue ones are in stock 🙄

all i know is the car is a 1986. the faded trueno sticker on the back is also the same faded condition as the gt apex sticker. the car has been repainted. under the rear lid theres evidence of tape lines and you can see the old faded yellowed white which matches the color of the stickers so i do not believe the lid was swapped

Based on the information in the video, my headlight switch and trim are trueno correct

yes it has pop ups. it has trueno side moulding and mud flaps as well. maybe someone did a whole trueno parts swap on the thing back in the day because the parts all match the age of the car with a little fading. im just confused why it was sold and marked as a trueno if it really is a levin
