Shitbox Levin with a TRD wing - Superhappyrusttimes
So here's my first AE86. I've had KE70's and a T18 before, but not a hachi.
So it's either a Dec 83 or a Jan 84 build (not sure) zenki Levin.
Bought it for $1400 full of holes where rust had been cut out. It had no panels on it but came with everything minus a drivers door. The hatch that came with it was cut to bits so I went and got a TRD one with no rust for $200.
Trailered it 300kms home pulling it with an R30 Skyline (that only overheated once through the hills) and left it overnight still strapped to the trailer. The next day I started just bolting stuff on, seeing how it all looked so I can decide on a paint colour and start welding/sanding/priming.
Anyway, here's some photos.
How it came: All packaged up as a DIY kit.
Waterproofed with bubble wrap, a plastic bag, and the tail lights taped on.
Bolting stuff on:
Front starting to come together.
Wing looks pretty tough.
So total expenditure so far:
Car: $1400
Hatch + Spoiler : $200
Total : $1600
If you include fuel and trailer hire, it comes closer to $1800.
Plans are to finish putting it together for now, decide on what I want to do with it, get the 4AC running, then strip it, weld, prime, paint, take it over the pits, get her rego'd, then slammed on longchamps and use her as a daily.
