Looks like a great base to start from!!!!!
Hey guys,
My name is Nick. Last time i was active on here was 2011, When I had my old AE86.
Ill start this of with explaining my history of my old AE86 and from then to now.
MY old AE86 (WTF-086)
I sold that in early 2011, and bought an 1990 Mazda MX5 which i kept until 2014, bought it completely stock standard.
After the MX5, I bought a S14, and thats been on going for the past 2+ years, Currently doing a 2JZ conversion on it.
And now this brings us to the good part...
I bought the 86 as a daily while the S14 is getting built, i always regretted selling my old one and wanted to do another one.
I has few problems like they all do that will have to get worked on and sorted out.
ill keep this up to date as best as i can.
Thanks for reading guys.

Formerly 86 Nick
Just a daily, something fun to drive around as well.
Update time, some good and some bad news.
A LOT! more rust was found!
Motor got removed as well as interior and once again, more rust!
After all the rust was found, some parts came which made me feel better about it all.
Took it to a friends house to fix up all the rust, stitch weld the whole chassis, block the rails, box the strut towers and a few bits and pieces.
Some dry ice fun
The 20v has since been sold, 3SGE beams blacktop with J160 has been bought, only place i could find it from is USA, should be here in the next week or two.

While still waiting for motor to come, i thought i would upgrade my diff seeing as multiple people kept telling that the T series will not hold the torque of the Beams.
MX13 Diff, Wilwood brakes with Corona discs, braided lines, OS Giken 2 way with 4.1 ratio, also came with spare 3.9 ratio centre, as well as F series to J160 tailshaft to suit AE86.
