Hello from Ireland

[ondafly]

Hi All - A little car history background for me. I have owned a good few cars over the years.

Honda Integras,Civics
BMW E21, E36M3, E46M3
Porsche Boxster
Subaru WRX
VW Polo, MkV Gti, Mk7 Gti (still have)
Range Rover Sport
Evo 5 (still have)

So a bit of everything and my dad would have had a crazier list, from Triumphs, to MG midgets, to Lancia X19s, to BMWs, VWs, Toyotas etc etc.

Anyway long story short I have finally gotten around to grabbing an AE86 Levin 2door. A number of times I've failed to get one over the years, either through lack of money or lack of space or both.

Now sitting at the docks in Japan is my 1986 Levin. I'm no stranger to rust, and I expect there to be plenty because pictures can hide so much - but here it is. GT-Apex, keep fit windows, no LSD, abs, power steering, sport lip?, FRP bonnet and tailgate, fujitsubo exhaust, I am assuming rusty shock tower drivers side from pictures also.









So hopefully it won't take too long for my Evo to have a buddy !

That looks really clean, both the 86 and the Evo. Congratz and welcome!

so my car still hasn't arrive yet. It was due this Tuesday but I now a due date of very close to Christmas; so I'm hoping its before because, things will shut down once Christmas hits !

Anyway I've been buying parts for some time before I even bought the car. I'm sure you all know flos.ie, and it practically gives next day delivery here in Ireland (which is dangerous to my bank account). So purchases from Japan, JDMDistro (in ireland), Flos, ebay!, rhdjapan, Techarts via FirstJoyce (Irish lad in Japan)

New grill (decals also)


Fogs thanks to Banpei finding them on yahoo jp


Bride Brix 1.5 (before I cleaned them!) - I will have to source matching seat rails.


Tecarts matts


Boot matt - as its empty currently.


Grabbed lots of spares from Flos; new oilpan (didn't like the look of the one in the photos), service kit, bolt kit, gromets for the boot (seems to be missing 2), toyota wipers , spare key.

Other bits ; radiator shroud, fujitsubo hood prop, nobybooth dizzy cover. Found a chap making spare wheel coverse on eBay, so grabbed one also. I need to find a spare wheel next, tempted to get an alloy wheel as a spare but we shall see.

I guess I'm just posting this update, to keep my mind off the car not being here yet !
