Rich's AE86 projectu - 56K crashu

[rallyman1978]

Got some pics I can upload from recent progress - moving house again meant no broadband in the evenings so I havent updated the build log

Ripped the dash and aircon out







spaghetti anyone?





Then got the linisher out to remove the hammerite that I cluelessly had decided to paint the rear floor in - nasty job - even with a mask and me being a hardened smoker I was feeling rough for days after









After that was time to fabricate the evolution version of the Safety Devices cage and weld in the seat rails and the big hole cut into the floor pan

















Whilst the welder was out Dean fabbed up a mounting for the hydraulic vertical handbrake and moved the cable handbrake (needed for scrutineering on some events)





Then the shell went off to get the surface rust removed from the arches and some fresh metal in its place and then primered





By which time the rear section of the cage was back from the powdercoaters (love how its metallic silver in some lights and reflects gold in others)





And a week later off to pick the car up from the painters in its new coat of Nissan Skyline Bayside Blue inside and out













So thats it thus far - still a work in progress and a couple of months away from completion but its all going in the right direction.
Sadly the engine side of things has been curtailed after an inlet manifold I paid for didnt arrive and the forum user "lost" the postage receipt. Once this issue is resolved I can rock on with the ITB's

Massive thanks to Dean George at Geoprep Race and Rally for his efforts

Comments as always appreciated, good or bad
