Hey boys and girls,

Yeah yeah, you probably know my PoS by now, but thought I better have a thread about it on here anyway, since it was on the old forums.

Anyway, in October 2006 (lol) I acquired an AE86 from Townsville without having seen it before in my life. Bought it from some random off Twincam. At the time, I had an MR2 SW20 turbo that was all well and good, but I liked sliding, and epic oversteer from the MR2 made learning a little too hard.

Anyway, was meant to be over in 3 months, but life has gotten in the way so it's gone really slow. Full time work, part time uni (nearly fkn finished), parents split, moved house, got a dog, got a gf (that's pretty halarious in its own right), and yeah, just generally not knowing what I'm doing has slowed things down. In the time I've been working on it my daily has changed from an MR2 to a HJ Kingswood, to a VS Commodore, to a KE70 panelvan and now I've finally got a JZS147 Aristo, which I seem to be pretty solid with.

Anyway, moved house in Oct last year, and shed only finally got built about 3 wks ago. Yay. Except dad's a slackarse and is currently obsessed with his younger filo gf, and won't put up benching yet. I'd fk it bad if I tried. So still waiting on stuff. Everything in the mean time has been stored at my mum's house, and is largely inaccessible. Yeah woo.

Anyway, enough ranting, but those are my excuses why this thing isn't finished yet, and I'm sticking to them. Hopefully finish it sometime this year, but we'll see how we go.

Keep in mind that all this was into a stock (rust free mind you) ADM AE86. I've missed stuff out that I've had to convert, but I'm sure you get the idea.
