i thought so! i was like "he totally improved in like 5min, 2 days of drifting has taught him well!!" hahahahahah
anyways, as promised MASSIVE LOL!!
them pictures were taken this afternoon
car is now 80% stripped but couldn't take photos because garage got infested with BEES!!
still cant guess what direction im going with this yet?
dose
Are you swapping it all over to the other shell?
I will highly consider the notchback bare shell if you ever get rid of it
Yup doing a shell swap, drift, smash it, whatever
ADM for easy rego!
Priority is to drive a ae86, so this is the fastest and what I call 'easiest way' to get where I want to be.
dose
Sounds like a good plan!
Looks like a pretty neat shell to swap into also.
It's not too bad as a basher, still straight, rust, just like JDM ae86 drifters for the fan boys

Ah you got the green machinegreat buy there mate its a nice looking car. Do you think you'll have any use for the notchback? Because id be interested in it I reckon.
Yeah big use for the notch, shell will be kept in storage.
Hatch is a fair go, good enough while the notch will be slowly rubbed down, fixed what's needed, resprayed to new colour, and then we'll see what happens from then.
Friday night and weekend is going to be busy, stripping the coupe and swapping everything to the hatch and hope for the best, car should start with a turn of the key.
dose
the green machine had a major surgery, now has everything from the coupe.
First turn of the key, and what do you know, the car starts first go! Just like how it's suppose too!!
Spent $200 on engine, gear box and LSD oil<-- all castrol stuff, brake fluid and radiator fluid. All 4L bottles so that explains why it wasn't cheap lol
Anyways half the interior is back in already so tonight, service the engine and gear box, if I work fast enough the 2way diff will be swapped and serviced at the same time into the green machine then a quick test drive to make sure all transmission is working then rego it before Christmas as everything will be closed.. Got the green machine running in 2nights and 1 day of labour..not bad for a 1 man project with 30 min of help lol
Did I mention the sun roof works?! This rust bucket is full of win

Great progress
Working sunroof in a 86, winning
Didn't get too much done yesterday
Front end looks like a levin again, guards, headlights, front bar, bonnet on..looks tough I think
Took out the S diff from the ADM and surprisingly all the standard arms on the S diff had been rebushed already and couldn't be more then a few months old in use so I left the arms to use with the T diff.
It also had the shocks replaced with some KYB gear and again, still new and works great, good as spare I guess
Finished off the exhaust system too
Left to do is drop the T diff from the coupe and transfer to the hatch
Change the rusted hatch with a spare hatch with a little lest rust
Vacuum the inside and plastic interior to be installed to look decent
Swap the front suspension over
Bleed the brakes
Wheel alignment and rego
Skids and pictures of good times to follow
