Welcome Roel! A former corolla-club member here (stopped going to meetings because my AE needs to much work).

You work at Inalfa eh... do you know if they still sell seals for their old stuff? I have a fairmont roof in my hachi (same as some inalfa model), and it leaks like hell.

14x7 ET 6 or something like that.
They sit and look beautiful on an 86 with some smaller tires then the stock CS size (something like 225/50/14 is on them Puh

)

the pics..

It is a red one that I bought from Ad with a first gen 4agze inside.

the paintwork is in a not so great condition.. but the rust...

there is almost no rust.. Smile

but the ori 13" have got lots of corrsion.. that will be the first project.. to fix that.. but first I need some fresh tires on the 14" rims.

I am going to sandblast the set of 13" rims here at my work. and repaint them.
It is going to be my spare set of rims for now.

the handbrake cable snaped or got loose somewhere, saturday when I pulled it on the Handbrake on the Parking...

does annyone has some good ideas where to put some additional gauches?? (and keep the radio)

Also looking for some sideskirts / bodykit. ideas are always welcome!
(do's and don'ts, where to buy, )
I' do like the orange T3 version..
It has got bumpers in this style accept the rear bumper... thats different.

cheers Roel

Ad sold his GZE? Shocked

Here you can find some suggestions on where to place the gauges:

I see your grille and seats have been replaced: they are kouki (second generation). Does make the car more beautiful imo! Thumbsup

Nice buy Roel! Smile

Great!!! A red panda !!!! Nice Smile

I personally love those 13" pizza cutters. If you're going to fix them up then you probably have 4 of them, right? Will look cool.

Never knew they had sandblasting facilities at InAlfa. Is it in IRS or in Metal?

Don't do the A-pillar, that's modern stuff that doesn't fit an AE86 IMHO.

sandblast facility... uhh there is a small sandblast box for small parts thats all Very Happy

the nicestwould be a dubble din solution for the gauches, that would be te nicest. i dont like to drill in the dash.

also bought some as good as new tires on the 14" Very Happy

so now ive got 4 14" rims Very Happy

tomorownight I will ta a look at the handbrake cable.. maybe it is easy to fix Smile

hope so..

oww I read about a gear shifter kit to renew the shifter ??
where to buy in holland, just at the dealer or not ?

cheers,

Roel

there's a delerin shifter rebuild kit, it replaces your worn out shifter bushings, so the shifter lever feels more precise. very cheap, and suposedly worth the upgrade. you can get it from pass racing (user SYM on this forum)- The actual transmision rebuild kit is a bit more expensive Very Happy
