And as much as i loved celicas, i finally bought a ae86 :wub:

Aus spec car with 4agze from an AE101
ssr mk3 rims with poo offset
back breaking coilovers
d2 camber tops
whiteline bars all round
was told it has a "supra" gearbox..
brand new exedy heavy duty clutch
T series diff
stock interior

so thats pretty much it, shit all rust in it.. will be attacking that before i paint it obviously. goes like a rocket and is very fun to drive as a daily..

plans are;

swap front end to trueno
fix rust
new rims
paint
interior
and enjoy it in that order :DD

Great base to work with! That GT4 also looks great. Has that been moved on?

[dansomerville]

That black GT4 is sex, I've always loved the ST162. Would love to have a good rally inspired project GT4 one day. Those OZRacing wheels look amazing on it.

Oh and the 86 looks like a good place to start to, haha.

[smackdown.exe]

thanks guys, sadly sold the gt4 to make room for the ae86.. i put alot of work into that car to make it what it was... its in W.A now tho..

yep the sprinter is a good base hopefully i can make time for it.. so unmotivated lately to work on it tho haha

have some parts laying around to chuck on it.. will update this tomorrow..

Cheers.

played around swapping the front end today.. what should of been simple was a pain... intercooler piping was in the way bolts snapped guards didnt line up etc etc.. sigh..

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/4/8/0/4/402383.jpg


Got all the wiring sorted so indicators and parkers work as they should.. haven't got the pop up lights working as they hit the intercooler piping when they flip down >@... going to get a new front mount and new piping soon tho..

Also picked up new wheels, watanabes -4 look alikes i think the are BR's... need a paint but fill the guards better then the current wheels..

will try and get bonnet, sideskirts and rearbar on tomorrow..

Cheers.

[smackdown.exe]

Made up a mount for the front bar..

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/4/8/0/4/402475.jpg

then put the missus to work..

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/4/8/0/4/402477.jpg

That is all....

[smackdown.exe]

gave it a good sand and masked it ready for primer..

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/4/8/0/4/402848.jpg

after 3 coats of primer.. happy with how it went down.. a much smaller car then the kombi i last painted :DD

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/4/8/0/4/402850.jpg

picked out the new ford focus white 2k.. hopefully will paint on thursday... lots of sanding to do tomorrow >|

Cheers.

[s13 james]

looks good,seem to be smashing through it,did trueno front end cost a arm and leg?

[smackdown.exe]

Thanks mate, i got a week off work so thought i would get something done..trueno swap did cost a bit.. have been collecting parts for awhile when they pop up cheap tho..

Have finially named my car, nemisis... mainly because im sick of working on it already haha such a nice day and im stuck painting and sanding >|.. hopefully it will all be worth it in the end..

Paint went on like glass so happy with that.. (note; rear bar is just sitting on there, thats why it looks weird lol)

[joeschmo_57]

Looks sweet man!

All it needs is a set of white lines and its exterior is set!

[85Kai]

The car looks great Jai. I'd like to see it next time I head to the Goldy.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/4/8/0/4/510453.jpg (http://s735.photobucket.com/user/smackdownz/media/20130713_154855_zpsa7102687.jpg.html)

also had a real carbon fibre dash skin sitting around for ages i finally decided to put on, not to bad at all when the sun hits it..thought it would be terrible

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/4/8/0/4/510454.jpg (http://s735.photobucket.com/user/smackdownz/media/20130713_155216_zps028e8fc7.jpg.html)

so thats about it, got a new front mount ready to go on if i ever get around to it , also got a t3 supercharger pully to go on as well.. hopefully should have some time for it soon...

[85Kai]

Looking really nice mate. Glad to see that dash. I think I'll be fitting an FRP version fairly soon, too.
