i'll contact you so you can help me out with this build, since is gonna be the first in El Salvador. What engine are you gonna use?

Again, awesome job man!

Engine will be 4AGTE.

looks great, taking care of a ae86 is not killing it.

[pedro-siR]

great work man. that's all i have to say. love all the suspension setup you have done, installing the "other" brand into the hachi, is giving it more handling powa!

Time for Update Finally - there was A LOT of work done... Basicly - i finished with all the metal works, all the welding works, and finally finished with bottom of the car.. so starting from Monday i will try to get it to one piece

Here are some pics of the process:

My SSR MKII Came home 14x7.5 ET-12

Also - got some nice Tires for them


More toys - Adjustible tension rods, BOSCH external fuel pump, Swirl pot, 555cc Injectors, External 40mm WG....


My Custom Aluminium Radiator / IC for the V-mount setup is finaly at home too


And here is some Arch work:






Heres the Front finished and on the Right height of the car



Welding all the chasis:



After all the welds - some anti rush epoxyd primer:



After primer dried up complietly - lots and lots and LOTS of cleaning....



And first layer of protective structural paint:




After it dried - few more layers of paint:



And for the final - all the chasis was filled with Anti-rust / water rejective Wax / oil (dont know how its called in English propertly )





After fill up - car was rolled to all the different angles just to be sure wax got in every corner of the chasis Now im done with the bottom Finally!!!

I love what you are doing. But to be honest I would just use a tectyl on the bottom just to be sure.

Hmm.. What is this Tectyl? Cuz what i used is:
Berner Stone chip potection (drying) 4 layers.
Normal acrylic paint (2 layers)
In all the openings - Dinitrol ML wax
And on all the wheel arches i willl be using Berner's NOT drying (elastic) anti-rust / stone chip protector....

As im not gonna be using this car in Winter / daily - so it will be more then enouth i guess...

Just need to get the Solid inserts in the rear...

And finally got the car on the ground and on the wheels So now just need to start working on the Engine bay - and get the chasis painted...
Heres the stance of how it sits now

And my god damn collection of wheels


And the biggest update of them all was gearbox housing Finally its done... so now i can put the engine back in and start fabricating all the things
