Richards Hermit Crab AE86

[Rice86]

Bought this 1-2months back from SA, over all Shell is decent and best one i have owned yet, still could be better though honestly
No major rust anywhere, has one spot on the rear corner where the rear bar wraps around the shell, just surface stuff that can be fixed if i were not lazy
besides that, you might remember seeing this on the sale section of this forum from South Australia

Drove the car back to Sydney, car performs no doubt, drove the car for 8hours straight, took a 3hour nap, then another 8hours straight before i reached home. used over-all about $200 or under on fuel only, way cheaper then i had thought. Don't know any specs since i bought the car beside what it had advertised on the sale thread before

Links to Picture, to lazy to upload via other resources






Issue - As it was not complied in NSW as an import, im finding it very very hard to get rego, JnJperformance has been trying to sus the car out for me and what not so it can get rego and being a coupe that does not have back seats is proving to be difficult..can anyone help me with rear seat belts for a coupe? only thing stopping me from taking that extra step for rego

RTA tells me one thing, Work shops tells me another, basically to cut the crap short, if engineering Cert is needed to get it rego'd as there might not be back seats (rego as 2 seater is the last case) , might respray the shell and remove the surface rust etc before getting a cert, otherwise re-shell the car to a ADM one as it has perfect running gear or sell the car as it is and someone else can deal with the drama.

All i know is, im over it and this is another fail thread..

[ke_70]

could you adapt ke70 seat belts or somthing?
are they retractable ones?

Engineer as 2 seater. Way easy.

^ This.

Looks like a good buy!

U should definitely sort out uploading photos just reading it I thought it would look rough. But it looks nIce man. Have a good look over it and get up a spec list as I'm sure u will find some nice surprises not just rust!!

[McLEVIN]

if its rust free keep it, if its rusty sell it.

Just rego as 2 seater. Who needs back seats?

[dtour]

Like the rest have said, rego as two seater with cage and two fixed back seats. Then proceed to win!

[Rice86]

Yeah... Been trying to get rego since

NSW laws are F$@ked! To do it right I'll need an engineer cert for it being a 2 seater.
If the car is dead standard looking (back seats and all) then I might not need a engineer cert but will need to get a compliance plate before rego... Bdjakenh usisjehh

Anyways will update on what happens next after drift matsuri this weekend as I rather watch some drifting then continue to be depressed over this car

This car goes so hard and drives so well it's such a shame I've got this drama..
