Saw the light -> My 1986 AE86 project

[IBMFD3S]

the Hachi is @ the rust hospital at the moment being restored.
just had a phonecall and the Wiegers cage has just been fitted but many things before that of course.

doors, trunk, trunklid, hood, roof, wheelarches, underside... 'well what not' is being welded and repaired/replaced.

front fenders were too rotten to safe and I ordered some plastic stuff as a fender (which is 25mm wider and will address that later (rims!)).

furthermore, some poly bushings came in some days ago and those will replace the stock bushings.

and the black interior is all out (except dash which is blue) and goes to Robokill.

that anti-noise stuff in the interior goes out also.

oh, ordered some flares yesterday for the wheelarches to get better traction (rims!). tried to order some plastic fenders from MCNSPORT but they are out of business.

thought there were Koni yellow's all around but @ the front there are stock ones, well, they are not yellow! those @ the rear are rotten Koni yellow's and after a chat with NoHachi I will be looking for some Tokico HTS long strokes in a while.

not regarding the state of the shocks some RS-R AE86 springs which came out of Japan through Rinkya will be fitted which will lower the car some mm/inches (forgot the distance and springrate ) to see if I like them.

chassis will be rust treated from front to back, chassis will be seam welded and whereever possible ligthened.

the Hachi will be uses for traveling and circuitdays (racing). so the Hachi stays with me... ehhh us. die-hard rotorhead with a weakness for this Toyota
either way, we like the car and decided it stays beside the RX-7's. and not going to put a 13B-REW in it! oh well, maybe someday

either way, will get the pics tomorrow from the Google Android phone they are on, will take the Windows® laptop from my girlfriend to get them off and place them here to show the progress/state he/she is in.
