Oh shit! What happened to it?
Ater alot of looking for a cool old school cruiser for this summer i couldnt resist buying this tidy stock 86. It is genkin's on heres old car "the vacationer".
Ive been panelbeating for 11 years now and thought it was about time i built something for myself again instead of fixing everyone elses cars.
Shees bone stock, interior is in very good condition, uncracked dash, bit o suspension work.
plans are pull chassis straight, replace inner c section of the chassis rail, pending on rhf skirt section pulling out nicely id like to repair that and the rhf headlight panel then just replace the top lock panel. after all these years of collecting 86 rubbish i have a few front cut sections sitting around ready for donation!
once straight i will replace the inner door appeture sections that are rusted. Do a little rust repair around a few spots and off to the booth for a respray maybe mazda 2 red. I have aquired the neccesary panels to replace (bonnet and guard)
I will put in an ajps lock spacer which i find is a standard requirement for any e series chassis. I have some ke30 lcas to go in. a window tint some neat looking rims then cruise away!
here is the begining i will post pics of the chassis repair as there is none anywhere else on the net!

The kawasaki green is a bit too out there for a street car in SA im liking the mazda 2 red coulour so clean and bright. other wise maybe the factory metalic aqua blue colour!!

^^ havent decided yet ill see what pops up! First bit of work completed, rebuilt the drivers doorlock
this is how the lock looked
this is the donor lock ae86 bootlock bit different but the centre barrel is interchangeable
first thing is to remove the circlip on the back of the centre barrell
then carefuly remove the front chrome cover by unfolding the edges
this is the centre barrel with the gates in these are all specific lengths
lay them all out in order
here they are inserted into the new barrel notice they sit proud with the little springs pushing them out
here they are sitting perfectly inline with the key inserted (if they are not this is where poor lock operation comes from) give them a little file if req
all finished with the chrome covered folded over

Back from honeymoon and throwing around colour options and am looking for peoples opinions, i want it to be a stockish colour. im keen on the bright clean mazda 2 red colour. Colours that are out are yellow, green, black, and im not a great fan of white.

Pick a colour that you like, not one that we like
having said that I have always toyed with the idea of painting one in a metallic blue at some point, maybe the Subaru liberty light blue:
and I am also a fan of the blue on my current daily:
But yeah, red will obviously be a winner, people might suggest beige or brown as well if you want to be a little less noticeable on the street
