Ae86 rob restore

[McGlinchey]

Hi not long on this site, thought I'd share some pics of my current car, it's a 1986 Japanese import, my plan is to restore it and turn it into a more sought after uk specification, anyway collected the car from the docks , got it home and the engine rattled almost immediately, so the rebuild started from there, I'll let the pics do the talking,








With the engine out I started collecting new engine parts

New genuine head set
New piston rings
New genuine oil pump
New genuine water pump
New acl race line bearings
New toda cam pulleys
New toda cam belt
New front and rear crank seals (genuine)
New genuine cam seals
New light weight crank pulley







Came back from my holidays, and my engine was ready for collection, it got some mild head work etc, the toda cam pulleys are only for show,







I then started to strip the car , first out was the interior,



Then as I got time I took almost everything off

Some new parts I've collected








New bootlid



Some more updates on the car, first up was a hot jet wash in below


Next was to remove and old bad sealer, remove stone chip,




Since my car is a Japanese model I wanted the number plate lights holes welded up, as I'm now putting the lights into the rear bumper


Strut and springs painted satin black, like factory finish

Some more progress on the underside

Underside painted






I also got my brake calipers glass blasted and then rebuilt with a genuine kit from Toyota
