I've seen this car at Slide, the Rust was fairly major, similar stuff wanted doing to the inner wings, as I have just repaired on mine! ..altho think you'rs is a bit worse fella.
Ca86 sounds interesting ! the SR20 only needs 6 wires to work in an s13, so im sure fitting a CA to a 86 should be easy
Plus matt keeps doing engine transplants atm
Yeah the rust is really really budbut Matts a star and sorting out the rust for me.
Yeah the CA into 86 is not to hard at all even the mounts just about line up just need the sub frame slotting a little bit then a hammer on the trans tunneland its in. unlike the SR which needs the sub frame to be lowered by 40mm and custom mounts making too.
If i use an rb20 gear box with the CA bell housing the gear leave just about makes the stock hole too. There is loads of info on the Oz forums about the swop
the wiring is simply 3 to 4 wires and a fuse and thats it iirc
the ca wiring is pretty much the same as sr. just look through john bennets sr guide for a heads up. that car was painted in my mates bodyshop in brum. im fairly sure those are kennys old wheels off his submarine ae86.
small world.
yeah it's a small world bud. wiring is the easy part for me its no problem and i know the ca loom well as i made my own once.
The hard part will be the mounts and sorting out what i'm going to do for an intercooler and pipe work.
put the intercooler in the engine bay. have a mooch round on ebay at all the generic kits/cores for insperation. the corolla boys use s13 rads any ways.
Nice project Damo - looking forward to following this

woop to next day del:-
fuel tank and fittings are here
And my new relay and fuel box / wiring module and horn. Cant wait to bin the 25 year old loom and fit the nice new one im making
wondered if Matt would convince you to buy one of those.
yeah was not much convincing after we took the stock one off. im going to mod it a little and look to fit in behind the drivers seat with a filler cap either in the widow or the quarter panel in front of the rear wheel.
I'm just about all out of cash for now tho
At the min i think matt will end up finishing the welding and dropping the car back off with me so i can crack on with the wiring if nothing more when hes on holiday and then will go from there i think.
