Great stuff mate! Can't wait to see her drive..

Wondering though, if you got all the parts out of the car and where waiting for dry weather, why not go through the extra trouble of treating stuff like the subframe members to some anti rust treatment? I would have gotten some hamerite spraypaint or POR15 and given everything a quick cleanup.

As for scrapping the shell, your loss, there are plenty of guys on here that would have bought the Trueno front end off of you. It costs easily between 500 and 1000 euro's just to ship one over from the US or Japan. Lights, trim, etc would fetch a nice price to. You could have gotten a nice part of your money back. Is the shell still in a scrapyard or have they crushed the car? Would be worth the effort getting atleast all the trueno parts back.

Have a few trueno parts left, Ireland is a rip off to ship anything anywhere, in my experience anyway, Ill put up an ad none the less,

Gonna sort the body completely next year, dont have the money to do it right now and I want to do it right, as in shell rebuild,

Thats the job, Banpeis Trueno breaths life on the same day that I attempted drifting again, without destroying another 86. By the way Mouwt I fcuked my neck that day, cost me more than the price of the car since, another $200 tomorrow for x-rays here in Aus, Im not laughin now Confused all good fun tho.

No shortage of lock, but as you know Im no expert so I just took it handy, did ok like, no flashbacks! Its all about the seat time, practise,practise even by the end of an hour or so there is a massive difference.
One thing I liked at the place I went was, you did a lap & then got back in the que if there was 1, not just go mad out there for 10 minutes, lets you actually thing about what you are going to do.

Thats the job, give her loads at Mondello, the internnational is actually easyer to drive than the national circuit, hard to get a rytheme, tricky as fcuk, hope its dry... Did you ever open the axle to see what was wrong? Pinion?
