hey everyone, ive not posted on here in a wile as ive been away traveling and other stuff, and the ae86 has been in hiding in my garage for near 2yrs Stupid

anyway ive got alot of free time and had decided to start striping and tidying up and get alot of silly little problems finially sorted out, there is a big list of stuff it need but its mostly made up of parts and bits i Want to do to it rather than what it actually need to be "road worthy"

any way ive been making a start at tidying up the engine bay tho i haven't done much yet, here is some pics anyways as i know everyone love ae86 project pics Thumbsup

AE86 : Projects > my slow trueno project

it was for sale ages ago, didn't get muchg interest in her, and anyone who did was offering me stupid money so its not worth it, cause it would be a loss in the bank and that i wouldn't own an Ae86 anymore lol

The car look mint. I am not really fan of USDM bumpers, but the way you finished the lip on this bumper look mint and even more exclusive while this car in europe and convert to RHD. Keep it that way Smile

What indicator lights did you use in the USDM bumper? Blonde question

I tried fitting Suzuki Alto indicators, but they were too wide. Then I opted to fit a set of the second generation Honda Civic but never found them for sale for a reasonable price...

update time again.

due to the need of a profesional welder and my complete lack of welding skills, i finished off what i could of the passenger side yesterday and put her back on all fours, and pushed it into the day light so i could brush out my garage

It'll be done in no time Thumbsup

Good luck!

When it's ready, what color will you paint it?

Iketani Joined: 03 Sep 2007 Posts: 26 Location: N.Ireland

i can't wait to get it back on the road Cheerleader

such a fun car to drive Cool

im not sure if i can afford to get it painted before its m.o.t test, but i do like silver over graphite on the trueno, as there isn't many like it about.

then again its original colour is silver over black so.... i don't Very Happy

i love both colours haha
im saving for exhaust system, shocks, top mounts, and lowering springs, and theres a small'ish list of bits it needs for the test, like a horn and rear fog light and brake pads all round.
but welding is first on the list, so i should hopfully have more updates soon as the rust hunt continues haha

thanks
