Australias longest / slowest ae86 build...

[Matt]

Who would own the record here???

I'm currently at 18 months and counting without much happening on one of mine.

I took 7 1/2 years. Ground up rebuild starting with bare shell. Spent about 10k a year.

[Mirko]

Not 86 but brother in laws XA gt going on 20 years now

bought my 86 in December 2008, think I drove it a couple times and pulled it to bits lol..

Depends what you classify as a 'build' I have had my 86 for probably 5-6 years now and it is always in a constant state of evolution, always doing work and always improving, but does that mean that the build never ends?

[LukeKE11]

Slide86 would win this hands down

I agree with this, if so 20 years ;)

[blinded]

8 years for me if evolution counts haha

+1 for slide86 having the longest actual continuing 'build' having never reached the road or track.

Surely it's coming up on 10 years now...

[Delazy]

Slide86 easily as others have said...ongoing ownership would be old man Frak however
