Legends never die...

hi everyone.i Bought this car of mine 3 years ago. it was really in a bad condition which you ll all see from the photos.but i need to but the car.Why? because there are only few ae86's with 4age in my country(Turkey) (about 3or 4 i think) we cant get any engine from foreigner countries so that car was an important one.so what ever i bought the car with some financal problems.Last year i got some money n we started and today we are near to an end of course i ll change lots off stuff on my car but just watch

i hope u ll like it

the first sights of mine are these...





inside





Engine??!?!??!?!??! where is the engine??



2 days later,

Engine







this was my wish always

[oldskull]

the car have been in flooding or something? Anyway good luck of repairing it!

[daywalker]

ok lets continue,

the pistons and the piston rods are not 4age one so we needed to buy new ones which i ll tell about later so even the engine cost a lot to us...

so the car arrives to service...
(which is in an another city)



we still know just a few things about the car.And also we dont know what parts are missing or lost so we were just waiting....
about 1.5 year from that photo i got some money and we started,

it seems like it is made of rust but we worked on it.we had no other chance,








some welding...



to stop rusting







we cant stop the rust every where so new is better i think.It is also wider





i ll continue later... thats all for now i hope u ll like it

looking great there daywalker! i've seen some cars in worse condition than yours restored to full hachi-glory. Nice to see another dedicated member, much respect! So keep up the good work and also keep us posted.

how could u?
i m shocked

Golf Mk1 arches are a regular substitute for the ae86. About the same arc, about just as wide... Also Starlet arches are very popular.

But I must say this is a brave rebuild!

Do not forget Escort MK3 arches

Good luck for rebuilt also.

banpei is right.

The reason I asked was that I wanted to order a pair golf mk1 arches and 'm not sure if I and the shop was talking about the same arches, cause they asked me if I want 3d or 5d. Did the mk1 come in a 5d version?

S.K. are the escort ones wider as well?

Sorry for offtopic.

You got a backseat foot blower and there are no holes in the chassi. Is that a winter version?

Not as wide as Golf arches, but like same as AE86 have. Here
