ex rally '84 AE86

[DarkSupra]

Did a lot of work on it the last couple of days.
Couldn't get it to run on fuel only brakecleaner, so everything worked except injectors. Ended up being that I forgot to check if the ECU was from a Zenki, and it was not
Luckily I could borrow one from Koen (Thanks!).

Received my order with parts


So now I could replace the 2T bellhouse with a 4A one.
This is a late T series T50 out of a Charmant so it was luckily a straight swap.


Bought a mobile lift wich made some stuff a lot easier.


Charmant box and a welded TA40 diff mounted




Played a bit with the portapower to get everything a little bit better.
Before


After


Also the left A pillar took more damage then I originally thought.
Somehow this wasn't noticeable when the car was on the ground, I only spotted it when it was in the air.


Not ideal but with some help from the portapower I could get it alot better.


This also made the windshield fit better.
Because I need the car to be driveable this weekend I glued the broken windschield back in. Body needs some more work anyway so didn't want to risk a new windshield.
Also first time glueing one so perfect to learn.
Used a bit too much glue but o well atleast it doesn't leak

Love the mirrors also - what car are they off originally ? they look like EastBear mirrors

Thanks! Yeah on my search for video and photos of mine I saw alot of AE86. Even some that still are in use in Belgium and Germany.

They are rep Spoon mirrors for a Honda.
Hope to find some Eastbear or real Spoon mirrors in the future.
