My AE86 racecar project
Hi Guys. I guess it’s about time I posted my project so here you are..

I bought the car over a year ago. http://www.aeu86.org/viewtopic/newbie-wi...highlight=
Unfortunately it turned out that the body was in worse condition then I first thought, so it was put a side in the back of the garage.. Confused
These pictures are from after I got it cleaned with a “high pressure steam-cleaner”:

This winter I then decided to use the car for a race car project where there would be a lot of welding on the body any way fore roll-cage, reinforcements and so on.
So just after Christmas I started repairing rust..

n1 welding and good job on the new inner arch. But do you have the inner arch also become the outer one ?

Is the cage bought or is it custom ?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean.. are you thinking of that I called "inner fenders" ?

Thanks Jan, and same to you :wink: just saw you started a new project.
Your last one was very successful I think, I had the chance to see it the day you visited Martin to get a new generator..
