    Default Mystery of the Week

    Car - ae86, though may be a cordia?

    motor - absent

    use - purely ornamental

    problem - the radiator support is different

    occurs/started when - I bought the car

    personal situation - exactly that, personal

    So, now that nonsense is out of the way, can anybody identify the radiator support in the car on the right. It doesn't look like a sprinter one, but it doesn't look quite like a ke one either.

    i may be completely wrong but maybe the rad supports are different to levin and trueno?
    and the one on the right was originally trueno?

    An excellent hypothesis, however I should have provided more info. Car on the left is a trueno, sans trueno regalia. Rad support on trueno is identical to an adm sprinter/levin.

    Car on the right, is an adm sprinter with something funny done to it.

    I'll grab some better pics tomorrow. The shed I keep it in is 1800km from my house!

    Well it doesn't look like the ke55 one. Its been welded in and painted nicely, but fails pretty hard if you want to do things like bolt fenders, lights, or even a bonnet catch onto it.

    Will have to make some custom brackets, or cut the whole abomination off and start again. Grr.
