DIY: Hopeless project.

[Rascal21]

I got the wagon up and running not long after my previous update, been doing some improvements since then and just mainly driving it.

Somehow I managed to get well below 7L>100KM fuel consumption doing a mountain pass run (with pretty steep inclines), with 4 wheels in the back+lots of tools and ae86 suspension parts laying around in the car, and I wasnt even going for economy..

Recently I added some T3 AE86 steering arms and cut off the lock stoppers which, surprisingly, gave me A LOT more lock than I expected:
   

Since the new steering arms are pretty thick all over, whereas OEM arms are very slim, I`m starting to think that maybe shortened OEM arms could give a lot more lock than this, but until I can be assed with that+welding in new lock stoppers, I`m happy with this, its loads more than I could hope for, and winter is coming soon..

I also have some goodies on the way for replacing the old struts, but more on that once I have the goodies.

Also steadily fixing the AE86 front suspension.
I got some Bilstein 300/70 shocks, new top hats, replaced LCA`s with new units from Rockauto, and replaced all bushings etc.
   

So now all I need is shaft/gland nuts for top mounts, new top mount spherical bearings, and some top hat washers.

Then I can drive it back into the "workshop" until I can afford new brake discs, shine it up a little on my spare time and gun for a new attempt of a day of test driving, followed by inspection+license plates.
