    how the car looks just now










    Dash removed so i could sort it, full of cracks and chunks missing, so going to give it a fibreglass skin and felt it with black felt

    i also wanted the clocks out so i could find out why i have no dash lights

    to so this i had to remove all of the lower dash panels
    and part of my rollcage

    took out front seats for ease of access

    front bumper is off to finishe getting it meshed

    also took it off so i could relocate the oilcooler

    this was so i could see where i am going to fit my twin electric fans, junked the belt driven viscous fan in favour of these to regain lost power


    #alloys are also being repainted probably in a dark grey colour
    like these


    future plans

    well all of this is underway
    new TRD 2 way LSD with a 4.1 crown wheel and pinion
    Polyutherane full bushing kit
    Front and Rear Control Arm bushings, Front Strut Rod bushings, Rear Track Arm bushings, Front and Rear Sway Bar bushings, Front and Rear End Links


    should be fun
    paint the alloys
    strip interior and sort dash
    fit new harnesses
    fitting twin electric fans in place of belt driven viscous

    along with hopefully my new front end







    The bumper i am looking at loooks like the one below but without the Horrrrible slats in the grill, all thats been cut out.





    when the diff broke i decided to take the car off the road for a few months and do other work to the car while it was knackered

    i am stuck driving a peugeot 406 TD just now lol its so slow and boring but gets me from AtoB

    You can see why the AE86s are holding their value so well

    lol as if my current to do list aint big enough lol


    but yes funnily enough there are more plans for the car

    a full suspension overhaul. everything, anti rol bars, coilovers the lot coilovers alone will probably cost £1000

    also either an engine conversion to the 4A-GZE or fit individual throttle bodies with VEMS managment

    and possably an upgrade in the breaks not sure yet though. and also practice practice practice i am to enter euro drift in the nmext copuple of years lol

    still it only cost me £390 all in i would have been over £600 buying it in the UK

    Good work there

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!
