Maybe save up and go to Japan and find a reasonably clean
Thanks for the carland86 link that was absolutely great.
I was thinking of fixing the car i have but here are a list of reasons why it wont work out . 1 i bought the car and landed it here for about 7 000usd 2 the parts needed for the car are as follows New Drivers door or good second hand New boot lid,current one rusted through badly New rear floor pan old one rusted through all dust comes in the car New Left and right rear arches inner arch or fender rusted almost thru New rear turrets or the peices that basically run from under the rear seat to the rear of the car and mount the bumper on New outer 1/4s as mine are rusted at bumper mounts terribly flap jack size holes developing on the 1/4s New inner fender skins front Left and right current ones rusted through New window rubbers all round front leaking rear cracking and doors collapsing Suspension shagged also front ball joints and tie rods gone, also shocks are on their way out Drivers and passenger floor pan has holes in the corners needs patching. Front crossmember radiator support rusting and needs to be replaced hmmm and there is a few things here and there i might have forgotten but basically i need to import all these parts, and after shipping and other costs it might be better to just buy a better 86 in minter condition Let ,me know if i should rebuild and if so i can take pics of the bad areas although i think i have already done so. and have posted on here but we also dont have very good panel shops here and the panel beating is terrible, unless i do it myself and that wont happen not enough time family and work etc. its just a sad ending to a nice car thats how i feel. |
