Aussie ae86 rally car

[mc68]

update, Long story short. I got loaned a Subaru Impreza for the next round. I set some quick times as was set for a top 10 finish but cliped a rock and rolled 2.5 times right at the most viewed and camera'd spot of the rally. It made national news. I lost about $16,000 in one swift action.

The headfuck of fixing two bent rallycars and one complete fuckhead of a panel beater taking his time and overchanging me for two shit jobs means i havent rallied for a while.

I got a new job, and with that, a desire to rebuild my car...

rebuild! car is fully repaired, repainted.



so progress...
Motor and box is in, after a little freshen up...the gearbox has a new leading 2nd gear put in. Averaging about 1000km out of the synchro hubs now, need to be a little bit nicer to it.
trumpets fit except for cyl number 4 hits the rear brake master on the firewall.. Dont want to short them so got some mandrel bends to chop up, adding a piece in to make them point up slightly (and prolly about 20mm longer, the longer the better), now the filter socks will rub on the bonnet, but that doesnt worry me much.

Also got some new flash carbon bits.





cant wait to start mounting all the fuses and pilot lights in that.

Got my diff housing back, it had about 5mm toe out from various knocks.. got it back with 3mm Toe in plus some extended trailing arm mounts.
its here with it extra long as the fellow who straightened it and added the legs on didnt know how much ground clearance I had.

fuck traction brackets, just have something abit more bling..

with some chrome moly arms,


Then I give it go and weld the bottom part I cut off myself and realise i have gotten better on the TIG in recent months. should have saved some money and given the whole job a go myself. (my welds are the unpainted ones)

and I got some whitelines... so it looks like an american shitter.



off to gt gavin for some sticker love soon... then packed in a container and shipped to qld.. sad it wont turn a tyre in anger in WA again
