Its been a while since I have done an update so here it is. So much for me saying it was going to be painted in late january/february...


I have spent weeks and weeks test fitting and reshaping the rear fiberglass guards.

Preparing the rear quarters for painting.

Sprayed the rear quarters and under the wheel arches with POR-15

Me getting a little too excited.

Guards finally riveted on using sealed rivets and a bead of sealant around the flares

I have installed a few more bits on to the motor, larger throttle body now in place and intake manifold machined out to suit

Car just about ready for painting. I tried my best to do as much of the prep work as possible to keep the costs down.

Car on trailer ready to be taken to the painters
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Ricks project AE85 (Back to...o results)]


Good old trusty Hilux
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Ricks project AE85 (Back to...o results)]


I think I may have hired the world largest car trailer, this thing was so dam wide, I narrowly missed a few fence posts down the driveway.
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Ricks project AE85 (Back to...o results)]


I cannot believe it, after about 4 years my car is actually at the painters..
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Ricks project AE85 (Back to...o results)]


The inside has been painted Arrr Ummm very much RED.
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Ricks project AE85 (Back to...o results)]


Rear guards getting smoothed out a bit more, they will never be 100% straight looking but its something I will have to live with, fiberglass sucks.
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Ricks project AE85 (Back to...o results)]

[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Ricks project AE85 (Back to...o results)]


The car is still currently at the painters and will hopefully be finished next week, yeeha..
[Image: AEU86 AE86 - Ricks project AE85 (Back to...o results)]


I have now started to pull all the part out from storage to sort them out and to get various brackets painted.

I get the car back from the painters at the end of the week, so it will be great to finally bolt things back onto it.
