pictures of the 10 suspects as promised

Might have a rolling shell for sale if plans go ahead with building the others as its taking up workshop space

All cars prepared the same, full safety devices roll cages with door bars, bars going through bulkhead to strut tops and welded in rear strut braces tied into cage.

I dont want to make anyone jealous just share the joy of getting hold of all these magnificent cars

Still looking for body panels if anyone has a seceret stash!

Sticker sold for 1p but for a laugh I sent an invoice to the winning bidder with £250 GBP postage. I bet he's shi**ing his pants right now

Richieu,

Jalousy doesn't necesairely mean a bad thing, it is a form of flattery in a way offcourse Jalousy is only bad if it brings hatefull feelings in mind and myself atleast can only have admiration for your choice in saving these cars

Still doesn't mean I wouldn't mind walking off with certain toys you have there, if only I had the money in my bank to buy it and ship it to NL

Thanks for the compliment, I just feel soirry for those guys who are deperate to own an AEU86 but cant find one and theres me with 10!

I just hope by hiring the cars out for drift sessions many people over the years to come will get lots of enjoyment out of learning to drift in them.

I may also be doing a complete bare shell build of the ex works car as my own private drift competition car, I'll get the pictures going as soon as I start.

May be doing B1 drift championship in a couple of rounds but I'll have to get a car ready first.

P.S. did you receive the paypal payment for the forum??

richieu,

keep those pictures coming

I'll leave the paypal question to Art (banpei), he's the one keeping an eye on that one

They are beat up as hell, there's an awful lot of work there.... personally I'd invest in one or two good ones than in 10 beat up ones, as i see it, none of the cars can be registered anymore, so not useable on the street... but at least you got enough spares for a lifetime.... have fun with them!

[Mux213]

PetzK, how do you know they are beat up as hell? From the pictures the shells looks pretty good, just dented like hell but I dont see any real rust nightmares on the pictures, there is bound to be some but still..

But indeed, if you are just looking to have a nice AE then buying 10 ex rally cars is probably not a good move But with richieu's plans this sounds like a goldmine....

Time will tell

[PetzK]

thats what I wanted to say... no offense here, just not what I would do with hachis...

[richieu]

No rust at all! I've checked them all after steam cleaning them off, just dented panels and crap paitwork done with a bucket and mop by the looks of it!!!

Nearly all bar two have registration documents (log books) so once done could easily be put back on the road.

I would wager that there are probably more AE86's running on the roads with more rust than these!

Took some more pictures today here we go!

Looking d*mn good!
How many of the cars can be driven like they are now?

[richieu]

All drive apart from the two rolling shells
