From what I know, if the last two numbers are 86 it's an SR5
If the last two numbers are 88 It's an GTS.

I hear you, I'll get a photo up of that as well. FYI on these older cars, there isn't one on the windshield like newer cars have. Instead it's on the dashboard. I did exchange my original dashboard for a rarer one with much less damage (cracks) it, so I did have to transfer the VIN from dash to dash, which was difficult for someone like myself and almost butchered it. But it is still available to be seen.
Also, I did some research and it seems there is one on the door? I saw it and took a photo of that as well. Tough to make out but the number matches the firewall. JT2AE88xxxxx
Also as for the bit about the last two numbers, if I may add a correction:
The VIN needs to have JT2AE88xxxxxx in the beginning sequence as GT-S. The SR5 has JT2AE86xxxxxx. Hopefully that clears things up.

Thanks for the words about the car. A lot of work went into it and no it is not easy to part with. I don't think I'll have time to build a car like this again.
