My Revised '80's Thrashbox

[OnBail]

Hi fellow AE86 proud owners.
Good to see the strength of the 86 on your side of the planet doing well.

So far I am on my 3rd AE86 now (2nd one in Japan) and I ended up with this.

It's still not where I really want it so it's still a work in progress.

I'm sure that some here might have already seen my car on other forums from past and recent.

What are the offsets -13 and -19 respectively? Are the rear arches RunFree overfender flares blended in or custom flared metal? Love how they match to the kit perfectly Cheers

LOL!
I already thought the hachi looked familiar!
Maybe use the "I forgot my password" functionality?

yes I was MoSqiToN but got bored of that name so figured I'd change it. I wanted to keep the same name on other boards and I like this name better.

These days I have a little more time to check forums again so starting off fresh
