hey people..
I'm Richie and i used to have a ae71 but it had heaps of rust (surprise surprise).. so i was going to re-shell it, but then i decided if im goin to do it again it may as well be in a car that i really like....so when this popped up last week i thought, why not.... ill never get a te27 anyway...
it came with no motor, just a rolling shell.. but thats good as i have a nice 4age waiting to go in, 86 struts, t series rear end, 15x8 rims all round, along with a heap of other stuff to make it work....
i like driving up in the hills so this will be built up for a bit of grip work and might even look into racing in proper hill climbs.
so the plans in summary are:
strip it back..
fix up the few rust spots..
paint it.. I'm thinking a bright orange or maybe british racing green
4age it..
convert it to 114.3 all round..
cage it..
drive it..
also to keep it period correct (to a point) i may also convert the 4age to twin carbies.. so if you got some lying around, give me a yell!!
let me know what ya'll think..
so enough of me talking, here's some pics..
all that reamains of the poor ae71
this is what i hope to achieve!!
oh yeah,, Merry Chirstmas to you all
Richie.
