Hey Ian!
Did you make any progress. Sadly, Paz is selling his beauty (I'm sad about that). I hope you'll not follow his footsteps. Now go get and finish her!

Howdy folks,
no updates but there will be this weekend. 
Its not a million miles from being ready to come home now. The paintwork is all finished (it was fully repainted - again). The exhaust and manifold are being constructed as I speak.
I'm going to spend a day at the fabricators working on the car to tie up all the little loose ends really (plus bolting the boring stuff back together).
I believe there is not much for them left to do after the exhaust - just some alu brackets welding on to the rad, a header tank making, some alu water lines, lightweight windows to go back in etc. and then it will be time to come home and get wired up. 
I also got shot of my skyline a few weeks ago and replaced it with something a bit more refined for every day I was at croft doing a trackday last sunday and the new car was a bit sloppy in the handling department by comparison to the R32 - but - the car new doesn't shake your teeth out on long journeys - its a lovely place to be sitting thats for sure and just as fast.
I am upset that Paz's car is moving on - I've only driven it once since the conversion and its quite a different animal to the 4AGE thats for sure  - whoever gets that car is getting a bargin. I know I've not taken the cheapest route in doing my conversion and the costs have become somewhat *insane* LOL. Still - its just like a completely new car now - bar the old 'C reg' number plate.

Really looking forward to seeing the Toyonda be put back together now... It's the most exciting part of all, not least for you after such a long wait, Ian!
It's so cool to have a brand new condition AE86! There's a real sense of satisfaction in knowing the car's as good as you can make it, fully working right down to the last little thing...
Looking forward to seeing the details of it going back together again, followed by some decent videos of how it drives. Maybe get an "unknown" person (The Stig, ha!) to take it for a proper drive on some country roads and show what it's like...
And show us the cheesy grin on your face as work progresses
