Vu's Final AE86

[evilsub]

Hey guys,

A few of you may know me from around here and there having owned about 6 AE86's in the past. One of which was a ground up rebuild Trueno with 4AGZE, coilovers, 15x9 meisters, kouki lights all round and a few other goodies. I abandoned the project due to cold feet and ended up building my S15 instead.

Here's where I got up to before I parted it out:



And my S15:



Anyway, I've now acquired a new AE86 and going to keep this thread updated with it's progress. Things get done a lot quicker when you do them 10th time round.

Started out as a stock red ADM, we took it back to the workshop and stripped it bare:



Interior was stripped with dry ice:



Unnecessary holes in the bay were welded and filled:



Interior and engine bay were painted (the color didn't come out right, it was meant to be more on the gunmetal side, but too late now haha):









We used the engine / driveline from my brother's damaged AE86 as a donor and binned the shell:

We fit the motor in, then Nathan (sprinter86) came around to clean up the wiring mess (did a really good job of it, hid all my wiring):





Here's how it sits now:



Will add more updates in the next few days.

I like the "what is" to be of your corolla, but I'd give my left nut for your s15! OWNS!

S15 is gagging for a wing big time.
Will be keeping an eye on the 86 build *thumbs up*
