Tetsujins new AE86 Levin (56k - go cry to mummy!)

[tetsujin]

Hi,

Seeing as everyone else here are posting up images of the AE86 I thought id get in on the action!!

It makes for a different drive compares to my last ae86 (4agze Black Limited Trueno)

But this time I wanted a much more standard base, one that was clean, standard and not as expensive, but what I wanted most was N/A power, not 4agze power!!

Now this car was pretty much bone stock standard! but as I love my credit cards that is currently changing as we speak!

Anyway, as they say, pics say more than words, blah blah...






Knight Rider baby!!

So anyway, as it looked :euge: as :euge: like above, I though its was time to get dirty with it.

So I stripped it out good style and ripped all the interior, dash and carpet out and began to scrape and rub the sound proofing of till my fingers bleed!

Also ripped all the aircon out up to the bulk head. Its a heavy bastard, was a shame though, as it actually worked really well!

Also has no power steering and windy up windows, so this is all good for me, as lighter the better!






as you can see its stripped! Gonna give it a lick of paint (unsure if I should do it silver or dark grey??). I have access to a spray gun and compressor and a mate whos a great sprayer so waiting for him to get his finger out and then its ready!

Dont know haow much this weighs exactlly, but these 2 Tesco bags are full and heavy as fouk and are full of ONLY SOUNDPROOFING! would guess at being 15-20 kg!!
