Jimmi's Trackday car

[Jimmi The Kid]

Well I'm converting my 3 door AE86 into a trackday car. I'm not a good racecardriver (I'm too damn carefull), but I think its funny to build cars. I have done a few engine conversions on FWD Toyotas and done a few engine rebuilding and tune ups. I'm educatet Toyota car mechanic and have worked with Toyota for 10 years now.
This will be my first actually racecar build and I try to do it all by myshelf.

The basic car was importet from Switzerland, as the Danish one are too rusty. Unfortunally this one also have a bit hidden rust, but not too much.

In fact, this car will not be a 100% racecar because it should be able to run on the streets, as the trackday rules i Denmark said, that the cars have to run with numberplates and therefore has to be streetlegal. The car have to pass MOT test every 2 years, so I have to build it, so I can change it in a few time :wink:
The original idea was to build it, so I can make it 100% stock again in a few days, but this will be too difficult so I change the plan.
I will also try to build the car after the FIA and DASU (Danish Automobile Sports Union) rules, so the car can be converted to a 100% racecar or rallycar some day.

With all that in mind, I can start to make it happen












I did't have any dry ice, so I took some regular free snow. Well the tempereture in the workshop was only 1,5 degrees celcius.


I only used this tool and it took me about 4 hours.


I removed almost 20kg.










Some of the hidden rust




Took this part from a EE80 Corolla, fits perfectly, but the corners dont.






I borrow this piece of tool. And spotwelded the roof, dorholes and the right rear fender.




I also spotwelded it a bit
