In the build-AE86 Drift Monster

[wobeatschickens]

Hey guys,

A good mate of mine (steroidchickens) finally remembered to call me to go to Oran Park for a practice day, just as a spectator, at one of the recent meet ups.

Had a ball watching everyone and was instantly hooked!

A week later I had a Sprinter sitting in the garage ready for the big build. I also happened to have a CA sitting around, so considering Brad had done the conversion prior I thought I would pick his brain and make sure I didn't make the same mistakes he had... :lol:

So as it stands currently:

STRIPPED INTERIOR
EMPTY ENGINE BAY-(IF YOU NEED A 4A MOTOR OR/AND BOX LET ME KNOW)
F-SERIES DIFF WITH WELDED CENTRE

That's about it for now I will keep you posted as it progresses. Below are some pics.

Cheers, John.

hmmm that bonnet's a worry.

was bogged and primered, then left in the rain.

I'm yet to investigate whether its salvageable.

OMG you fail at jackstands!!!! on grass too

i'm nervous just looking at that pic

:lol:

[jono86]

did you buy this off a guy in liverpool? i was going to go up and have a look at it before christmas, but never got around to it.

Good luck with the build

[steroidchickens]

those jack stands worked well.

yes came from liverpool.

[wobeatschickens]

i said check out the car not the stands!

i always have a backup system in place...if the car falls there is a spare wheel under the rails to keep things in check :wacko:
this sort of know how only comes with practice kids, don't try it at home!



engine mounts are on the way, hopefully get some time off to put em in soon

iv done about %70 this conversion pm me if you have anyquestions or info to share with me

[Bustin_86]

Leave the bonnet as it is man, hardcore boro spec! hahaha

Best of luck with the conversion man, if it comes up half as good as steroids it will be sweet!

[wobeatschickens]

Major Tom, thanks for the offer.

So far I'm just following what steriod did.

Would be good to compare notes to see what works well with each setup though, so feel free to write up.

Cheers for all the comments, John.

f series diff is 1450mm, thats why the back looks fatter.
