Project new 86

[JonnyAE86]

Hi everyone, finnaly decided to open the thread for my new 86,

making a long story short, I had a lot of 86s in my lifetime, but this particular one was with me for 10 years (mint and massive spec)





I moved from Portugal to the UK at January this year, got excited with some skylines and decided to sell it, stupidest mistake of my life, the car is now with a happy owner in Sweden. (krullbully here on the forum)

After realizing no Skyline would ever make me as happy as a Corolla, decided to bid on some in Japan, went to see some around the midlands and south, but ended up buying a rust free and cheap project from the Netherlands, another LHD) (previously owned by Barry at RacingMinded here in the forum as well)

Here is what i got:





Work has been carried out at a very slow pace, cause i work with cars all day, and get lazy to work on my own after i leave the garage


Engine and gearbox out:






Painted the engine bay






Cutted the dashboard to fit the roll cage and tested all the electrics
before starting on the wiring loom.




Painted the interior this weekend





this is it thus far, plan is to go with a beige body - black bumpers combination, kouki rear and some other bits, will start rebuilding the engine as soon as interior is finished.
