HachirokuGTV's 86LIFE

[hachirokuGTV]

The story begins about 5 Years ago.
Every morning I would drive past this "amazing" car. A red 84 Trueno. At this time I only knew the AE86 from when my cousin had one years ago. So id drive past this car going to and from work and sometimes go back to check it out late in the night.
After 3 or 4 months of doing this and telling my wife about how cool it was she went down there and bought it for me.
$500 what a bargain!
So I go down there to pick it up (in daylight) and straight away I can see that I had built this car up in my head. ALOT!
So I could see the paint was bad, it has a little bit of rust, an 80's sunroof, its an automatic and also no 4age. WTF.
Too late now so ill just take it and drive it. It'll be sweet. So I start using it as my daily driver. It rolls around alot and spins out pretty easy which was pretty fun but it was winter and of course raining so all of a sudden im seeing water bubbling through the back seat and soon I have a water feature with fountain in the back of my car. I pulled the seat out and found big holes where the rear belts used to bolt to. Fist size.
When I started stripping the car out I found more rust in the boot, in the rear pockets and wheel arches. Also the front guards had been welded on as the sills were gone in the front now too.
And so the project begins..........
I dont have pics of it back so im just going to show what ive done so far.


This is it after most or the bad rust was fixed.
