Simon's New Zealand AE86 Trueno

[Super86]

Well, after having bought and sold a couple of AE's before I though it was now time to build one that I would keep...

I started of with a good example, purchased 1500km and a ferry ride away, a good chance to see what it was like before pulling it apart..





It is a 1985, facelift and was supercharged before it was imported into NZ



As I am intending on building it into a street driven club car (for hillclimbs, trackdays etc) the sunroof had to go to to give me enough head room with the rollcage and a helmet on, so with a lot of help from a friend we started building a mould of the factory roof.



Welding (poorly) the sunroof skin to the roof



Bog anyone...





Then some fancy primer that I spent hours and hours polishing...



The mould starting to take shape
