I would have if it didn't cost so much
But also alot of what still was there was pretty shit.
Sadly all the doors where rusted so far that the window fell through the bottom.

Next year hopefully!
Currently busy with my drift car for the 10th of November, after that I will probably go back to the Charmant.


AE86 clutch pedal isn't bolt in as everybody was saying, had to modify it a fair bit.

The electronics was a bit of a pain.. Someone bought some parts of the car before i got it, and some of the parts where the fuse boxes.
So had to find wich connectors where used and wich aren't.





So far it looks like everything is working as it should


Had to pull the 4AC to remove a broken bolt for the alternator mount


Recently got a nice set of Webers, so while the 4AC was out i temporary installed a 4AG with the webers for some much needed motivation.

Got the broken bolt out, threw the 4AC back in and got it running without a lot of hassle.
Don't mind the sketchy setup

Also scored an 86 fuel tank for the future 20v setup.

Worked on the Charmant again, finished alot of the small stuff that should make it driveable.
Need to give everything a once over but think it only needs fluids now.

Made some brackets to temporary fit an MX5 NA radiator.




Have been playing with my 3d printer that I bought a couple months ago.
Still getting used to Fusion360 and need to tweak the printer itself a bit but made a part thats pretty close

Nice work on that clip!
I also recently bought a 3d printer and I did print a couple of parts, but I still have to wrap my head around creating parts myself. I did 3d modelling over 20 years ago and that's mostly the same as back then, but I need to get used to creating models for printing.
