    Default I shouldn't, But I did - My 3rd AE86

    It was bound to happen at some point, and it has.... For sometime, I have wanted another track spec AE86, I have one already that is set up well for Hillclimbs, Track days etc.... But it doesn't drift well, and I have wanted to build a simple, dedicated drift car.

    So, I picked up this shell from John84ie another local 86 nut..... He bought the car as a complete running car, and then parted it out. I was interested in the bare/basic shell. We came to a deal....

    I picked up the rolling body yesterday, but the s13 suspension front end and the T series were not included and I need to give them back. Not to worry, as I am currently building a KE70 drift car, I will scrap that body and use all my parts in the new 86.
    The shell is amazing. It has had a full bare respray and rust proof sealed completely. Totally straight panels, and amazing quality paint.... I have been told by countless people, that its too good to drift it.... haha, fuck that......

    Here is how I got it:











    The paint looks heaps better than the photos show. The pics look all washed out and the car has dirty rain on it....
