These are the first pictures taken at the bodyshop (12.11.2005)

This is an important picture
When I went into my kitchen I always saw this.
Car in the garden, standing on a jack without rear axle and it was snowing outide. I wanted to go a round with this ~80hp car...





And then I got an SR rear axle from SutteR with 100% LSD (welded) but it was broken. So I re welded it I just wanted to drive it in the snow or dirt (sand?)

here are some pics of the broken diff:




Then here are some pics of the car on the day I wanted to start the engine (I had bad luck..it didn't start) (9.12.2005)

On the AE92 I often had problems with the braking. And when I saw the brake system of the 86 I knew it I have to upgrade something. At the first try I bought a pair of Mercedes G series front brake calipers 'cause they were cheap:






But it turned out fast that I won't to fix them on the hachi because the weights 7kgs of each!
So I bought a used set of RX7 calipers, they are used on a lot hachies.



Compared to the Mercedes one:

on 12.12.2005 I checked and cleaned the mazda brake calipers. These days I bought my Dremel, it helped me a lot

On 18.12.2005 I checked my car at the bodyshop









There were the things he has done after a month.
As I saw my repairman wasn't in hurry with my car..

On 30.12.2005 I got my brand new zenki trueno taillights


On 31.12 I fixed them for a try on the gold hachi

[ZDoman]

On 05.01.2006 my repairman called me to check the new rear arch.




I told him try to make another one.

The taillights are nice. May I ask you did you buy them new and how much?

Nice progress man. I cannot waiting when its finished.

[SutteR]

Hmm, so that's why I haven't found my old welded diff some day. I'm a bit senile...

It can be clearly seen on the bodyshop-pictures that the mechanist is doing really nice job. It's only that he is very slooooooooow...

Really nice rims you have on the black ones.
However: fitting Sprinter lights on the levin? Or is it slowly becoming a Trueno?
