You think it is expensive in Europe! The yen went from 100 yen to the Aussie dollar 4 months ago and now it is approaching 50 yen to the dollar.

Fortunately I got my crossmember and pedal box just before the blow up. Unfortunately the guy in the US I paid for the steering arms has disappeared.....

But you are right about AE86's, prices really have become ridiculous, fortunately I did most of mine before it went crazy.

Your beast is really coming along well, but I reckon you will regret it if you don't strip out that engine bay now.

Where did you source the flares that you weren't happy with?
