[AE86 Coupé]

He Doc, we come to you very soon, i want see your car.

[The Doctor]

You're always welcome, yvonne!
Just gimme a shout

[robokill]

hey doc

maybe i know a guy who might have a 2tg engine i will call him for you if you want.

cheers on the car mate

[The Doctor]

Sure, if he wants to sell it, i'd love to know it

And i have to postpone some plans.
Licenseplate check will be 2nd of August, so 1 week later

Today i also discovered (while replacing broken wheelbolts) that the right front wheelbearing needs to be replaced, that's also a point which could be a problem @ the check.

But for the rest, it's going well
Hoodpins removed, wheelbolts fixed and started to remove the extra front lights (i'm going to rewire them afterwards, it's a total mess under the dash )

Hiya..the rims that might or might not fit are the old ford escort kind. The PCD is not exactly 4x110, but somehow close enough to fit.
Check out the old RS rims they have..pretty cool oldscool rims.

[The Doctor]

I saw they are Ford wheels indeed.
It has the Ford logo pressed in the rim, so it must be

I'll leave them on for a while, they're not on the top of my list

Fixing broken wheelbolt
When we noticed the bearings are worn




Spaghetti behind switch panel



Endresult from today



Lights are of, hoodpins too.
Next in line are the power cutoff thing and the bearing.

And i decided to pull all the extra wiring off and rewire everything afterwards. So that has to be done also.

Hmmm, it looks a bit empty now.
But it is still a beatiful sight!

[The Doctor]

Today we did a lot, the car is almost ready for it's license check.
Only some small things to do, the big stuff is ready

Checked the boot (also to remove extra wiring), looks pretty good if you ask me:


Now i understand why the weelarches don't show any sign of rust, Tectyl Ltd. did his job


Signal lights work again, seemed to be a bulb which was half broken I discovered that after i stripped half of my dash :


This doesn't look good, (but isn't a point @ license check)


But luckily:

Everything underneath is is still quite good!

We took off the Power cutt-off switch with a saw
Removing the panel isn't smart, because the severe rust on the front fender could turn into a hole and then i can get in trouble with mister MOT-man


My seats (it takes a while before you're in, but if you're in..... it feels great


Steeringwheel. I want to buy a snap-off hub, so i can get in and out a bit easier


Rearseats, don't ask how you can get there (it's possible! )


Can't do anything then agree :


Still 1,5 week to go, exciting.....

//edit:

After the licensce check, i'm going to some body-shops to compare what kinda money they want for the repair of the 2 front fenders.
They really, really need to be fixed, because other fenders aren't for sale anymore

[Blueneon]

I have to agree with your sticker Doc!
