Ade Mc's 86.

[Ade_Mc]

well hi folks,
i have had the hachi for about a month now.
bought it for a song...a cheap shit one..like the last single i bought
...which was...cdb..not :blink:

anyway enough crap.
its a 83 ADM, most of the rust has been removed. will be welding up the holes this week.
it came already stripped with no windscreen and no drivers seat.
so i've only driven it off the towie and up the drive way to the garage.

i've almost cleaned it up....just need to sand/blog/prime and it will be sent off to be painted.
(i'm in SYD inner west, so if anyone knows a place i can get a decent paint job for a decent price let me know)

destroyed the bumper...will fix it. and have also fixed the cracked dash, which is soon to be covered in suede.
more soon.

specs:
-Stock 4AC
-interior stock (stock sports wheel, looks similar to a old skool sparco)
-stock suspension
-straight through exhaust with magnaflo muffler
early 90's clarion deck.

parts and mods to be carried out in next couple months
-14x6.5 simmons rims
-ducktail wing
-32/26 weber
-Upholstered dash
-new windscreen
-weld up chassis
-fresh paint (i'm thinking dark chocolate) opinions?
-rego

here some pics and vids!

You like fibreglass?!?

[poh_86]

nice work dude, lucky ur wearing the mask, it'd be like a kid getting dope high on fumes =D

as for body work, give new prototype a call in carlton, awesome work and decently priced

cheaper if u prep it up yourself as well

[Ade_Mc]

hahaha cheers fellas,
i'm not a huge fan of fibreglass, but thanx medwin46,

i wanted to weld new sheet metal..but the previous owner started the fibreglass jobs....
his the one wearing the mask! haha

but i am purchasing a arc or mig welder today...so will see how it goes!

poh86: where is carlton?
...i will be prep'n it my self, sandback, bog if needed and prime.

cheers hilton....its still ugly but soon..will be looking good i a custom color....dark chocolate!!!!!!!
...makes me hungry thinking about it....people will be salivating when they see it!

[orange32]

interested in seeing how the dash turns out, what colour are you painting the dash? dark chocolate?

possibly a cheap fix for massively cracked dash's

[Ade_Mc]

yeah the dash is coming on ok...
used clamps and liquid nails..looks flat.

..we be writing up a tech report when its done.
..nah not going to paint it..going to cover it in cocolate suede!

..change of plans...dark chocolate exterior will have to wait till i can afford it..maybe next year.
for now just going to paint it myself, probably in honda black.

Hi... Ade Mc, Ijust got my first 86 too. My's look prety much like your ( Rust in the same spot). Where do u live ? May be v can meet up some time cause i no ideal have to fix the rust. I live in Blacktown

[Ade_Mc]

yeah bro haha when i get it up and running i'll meet up.
i live in annandale near leichhardt & glebe. close to the city.

as for the rust...its quite a simple fix. start by treating the infected areas with rust kill.
then just remove any glass or panels or dressing (if needed) surrounding the rust.
cut out the rust, and prep the area, sand it down treat it if you need to.
then if the hole is not to big, use a fibre glass kit to patch up the hole(like i did in my pic).
but ifthe area affected is a big area, or effects the car's strength or structure you may need to weld in new sheet metal.
then after the fibre glass has set. sand it down, so its neat.
bog fill if needed the paint over.

i'm sure i saw a thread on rust repair. search it in the tech section.

regards
ade mc
