Garth New Boyo AE86 Project

[Garth]

Hi to all,

Just been browsing through the forum, and there are some impressive cars out there. So I'll tell you about myself and what i'm doing.....

I live in South Wales, UK and bought an AE86 2 years ago. I haven't done much with it, due to cash flow problems. I bought it for £1500 of a mate and fair play it was a nice car, usual bit of rust here and there. It's a face lift C reg thing in black. I reckon I bought the last chep one around. I have bought the car to do road rallies in the welsh championship. It's sort of a shared project with my father, who spends most of the cash on it, as I just do all the monkey work.

Since then I have bought a newish tail gate for it, poly bushes full kit, grp4 escort bilsteins and grp4 springs and an Ashley 4 branch manifold. All I am waiting on is some front struts, then I can put her into storage. Unfortunately, it has been exposed to the weather, so it has deteriorated slightly in the last year. I have also bought a Safety Devices Roll Cage, complete with diagonal and door bars, from West Wales Rally Spares for £395 with VAT. What a bargain.

The list, as all of you know goes on for ever. Plans for the future are interior e.g bucket seats, full harnesses etc, mechanically its a bit more e.g. Hydraulic Handbrake, Sump and Tank Guard, Ford Type 9 5 speed straight Cut Close Ratio Gear Box, full Ashely exhaust system, yoko/advan a021R's, quaife quick rack, shift kit, cams, lightened and balanced, paddle clutch.

Hopefully I 'll be starting a new job soon so it will be built, welded and painted by april next year. I have bought a new digi cam, so i'll try and up load a few pics for you guys to see.

Cheers.
