The no time no skills project

[Eircamae86]

Havent been able to get to a track for the last 6 months & have been wanting to freshen up the adm since I got it. Working long hours inc Saturdays & am not allowed to carry out any repairs at the Units I live in , tried & got the letters. So I planned to give it a go over Xmas, spent the first few days drinking piss so I decided to get the finger out yesterday. The missus wants to go away for a few days weather depending so this is going to be a quick one!!!!

This isnt going to be pretty, but I am not worried, have a minter at home already so just looking for a functional car so that when I do get time I can hit some tracks/sprints/skids what-ever.


Day 1: Fit rear axle which has been fully re-conditioned inc new TRD 4.788, fit TRD blues, didnt bother fitting the traction brackets as I am waiting on 4 links. Start on sound deadening.

Day 2: Finish sound deadening & strip back all the shitty flakey paint to see what lies beneath!!!

Day 3: Tomorrow, fcuk knows, as much as possible.

far out, not a bad effort for no skills.

Why is it stripped, are you painting it or is it at a shop or something?

[Eircamae86]

Couldnt be having any rust in there so I stripped it back for a look, well impressed 1 hole in the back panel & some filler above the passenger side arch which I might cut out tomorrow, she needs a pull on the front chassis leg & a new slam panel but not until the engine goes bang or I do am upgrade etc. She needs a door or 2 & a bonnet but these will do for now.
Painting it at a Shop , Im going to chance priming it & then find someone who will paint is for a maximum of 2 cartons of piss.
Covered the dash the other day, $22 which includes enough to do another dash if you want it Fantapants, would be a bit harder it include the vents but well do-able, this took like 15mins.

Hey mate, just saw this here (saw the 86irl thread with bodywork) What material did you use for the dash - like alcantara or suede? Looks smoooth
I actually want to flock my dash but haven't found anyone local yet.

[Eircamae86]

Its just cheap suede like $8 a metre glued to the dash, will have to see what happens to it after a day out in 38c sun. Might update this thread later if I can be arsed going out to do a bit of work on her

[Eircamae86]
