Well, a little more progress before the car dissapears off to the fabricators.
Front bumper removed, rear bumper removed, aircon removed, sideskirts removed, and the remainder of the interior trim & roof lining removed 
Made a start on the dashboard but didnt get very far 
Car is going to the Fabricators on Monday on the truck so the guys are down there are going to finish the strip down for me
Looking forward to some progress in the next few weeks...

Looks good, Conrad!
Looking forward to watching this AE86 take shape. It's great to see another one being built with the intentions these cars deserve

How much does it cost for the cross member? It looks like a very well built piece.

hm, this is a common solution for the f20c swap, but is it strong enough?
