My first 2 years

[ZaX]

Dear all, today is 2 years of my ownership of AE86 cars.

Car that I loved the most is this one, white ae86.
This is the first picture of the car when i bought it.


Car has gone trough various transformations, from winter to drift (and back to winter) setups. I attended lot's of mobikrog driftdays and spend endless nights on snowy touge.


Picture that I loved, so low, so mean, so boro

I started to learn drifting with and eventualy got better and better, so I started to negotiate some sponsorships that was needed (parts, tires).

I've put toyo sticker on my car and tryed to make look it uniqe. This is the look that I liked the most. Red bonnet with drop vent and gold konig rewinds.


After filming the video on mobikrog (this video -> http://www.aeu86.org/viewtopic.php?t=117...=mobikrog) and sending it to Japan I got some sponsorship for my RS13 200SX. So basicly my hachi "earned" me this car and I own him a lot


Sadly, in april this year my 4a-ge engine decided to die after a lot of abuse -> http://www.aeu86.org/viewtopic.php?t=1390

I didn't have money and time to replace the engine and I sold most of the parts.
At this time I didn't have not one ae86 and I was very sad.


Picture of a white one towed home with blown engine, so sad picture.

In the mean time i've bought 2 ae86 and sold one to kas.

Blue rusty AE86, later donor car for Kas Ae85 -> Ae86....



...ended like this. It was all rusty.



Red hatch, sold to Kas, converted to GT specs

So I was 3 months without the ae86. As the winter was aproaching I know i'd need an ae86 for snow and touge. My m8 Hrc (tnx) gave me the contats to the one owner in split area.

In december I bought this car and started to work on it.
When I came to pickup the car it was dissasembled and in primer.



After one big barbecue at my house with little help from my friends...



This is how the car looks today

Well, if you read all this you might ask your self why all this post and pictures?
Because today I bought my 5th AE86!
It's all rusty and scrached, but engine should be ok.Car was involved in accident and whole right side is dented. Price with postage and packaging was around 100€!

Pictures:





I will use this engine and gearbox to repair and revive my first love, the white coupe that I loved the most.

Well, this was my first 2 years, who knows what might come in future.

Tnx for reading

Hey Zax,

I've your stripped that one, I know someone who'd really want the shell

The shell doesn't really look that bad on the picture, offcourse we cant see the damaged side nor the rust underneath. But if its salvagable, PLEASE dont strip her. We have a shortage of 3 doors this side of the ocean
